Bandai Namco Entertainment has added headset and peripheral maker Astro Gaming 
as the official audio sponsor for the Tekken World Tour, with a big boost coming to the Tekken 7 tournament’s prize pool as a result.
Astro Gaming has matched the original $100K prize pool for the Tekken World Tour Finals in Bangkok, Thailand, later this year, with the event now offering $200K for competitors. The season’s overall prize pool now stands at $285K with Astro’s contribution.
The company will provide the headsets and MixAmp accessories for Tekken World Tour events, as well as prizing for winners of Master-level tournaments. This past weekend’s Combo Breaker event in St. Charles, Illinois, was this season’s first Master tournament in the United States.

This year’s Tekken World Tour season includes more than 25 total events, as announced in March, including tournaments in new locales such as Dubai, Toronto, and Athens. It also includes the Evolution Championship Series (Evo) 2019 tournament in Las Vegas, which was not a part of the 2018 Tekken World Tour.
