This tournament is packed with incredibly skilled fighting game players! It’s the start of the official 2XKO esports series, and a lot of top competitors are eager to make their mark.
The game recently launched its first season about a week ago. The Frosty Faustings 2026 tournament is crucial for 2XKO, as it showcases the current top-level competitive scene. Beyond identifying the strongest teams, the event will give us a good understanding of how balanced the game is and how much potential 2XKO has as an esport.
I’ve been watching the competitive scene for Dragon Ball FighterZ, and it’s crazy how quickly things developed! The best players really started to emerge during that First Impact tournament series when the game was still in early access. You’ve got all the top DBFZ players, plus a lot of really skilled people coming over from other anime fighters. It’s cool to see folks from different games giving it a shot, too. This 2XKO Major feels like a big moment – some are doubling down on DBFZ, while others are deciding if they should go back to focusing on the games they used to play.

Players to watch out for at Frosty Faustings XVIII 2XKO
We’re getting a good look at potential frontrunners for the 2XKO Frosty Faustings 2026 tournament thanks to some early qualifying events. While anything can happen in esports, these players are definitely ones to watch.
- SonicFox reaches great results in most games they compete in. The legend united with the DBFZ Evo 2024 champion, INZEM, to win 2XKO Duos at Frosty Faustings.
- Wawa is one of the greatest DBFZ players. He won 2XKO Evo France 2025.
- Hikari is a two-time Evo champion for DBFZ, including his title at Evo France 2025. He participated in many First Impact tournaments and won quite a few of them.
- As DBFZ is an extremely useful background for 2XKO competition, we should keep an eye on such players as Nitro, WADE, Yasha, and Zane.
- Leffen successfully transitioned from Guilty Gear Strive to this game. He already won the 2XKO tournament at DreamHack Atlanta 2025.
- Strong players with the anime fighters experience include Supernoon, Zando, and Diaphone.
The 2XKO Competitive Series 2026 is moving forward after Frosty Faustings XVIII. The next big event, a Major, will be held at Evo Japan 2026 from May 1st to 5th. We should have a better understanding of the game’s balance by then, though updates to 2XKO might still cause some changes.
