Ultimate Fighting Arena 2025 has thrilled fighting game enthusiasts with exciting tournaments this past weekend. The spotlight shone on the 2XKO event, where around 150 players showcased their skills following a recent beta patch.

While only the top 8 of the 2XKO tournament was streamed, the early results highlight an intriguing emergence of character viability. Remarkably, all nine characters featured were utilized, indicating a balanced game environment.

Ekko and Yasuo stood out, each appearing three times, with Yasuo uniquely making it to the top 8 as a standalone Juggernaut. However, Ekko, paired with Illaoi, ultimately secured victory.

Other characters like Vi and Ahri showed potential with two appearances each, while Illaoi, Jinx, Braum, Darius, and Blitzcrank had a single representative. As the competitive scene evolves, fans will be eager to see if any of these characters will rise as sleeper top tiers in the future. Stay tuned for more action!
