2XKO is being dominated in Asia by a set of twins.
Haru and Toshi are twin brothers from Japan that are currently ranked first and second in 2XKO’s Asia servers. Going by the name 2WINz, the pair have also been competing in tournaments together, getting top placements and hyping up the FGC community.
2WINz have been streaming 2XKO on Twitch and competing in tournaments — and their story has excited fans for more than their undeniable talent in the game. The FGC believes this may be the beginning of something magical for the scene.
2XKO is Riot’s new fighting game that has two champions per team, allowing them to swap out and assist one another, creating dynamic combos and strategies. You can play both champions yourself or compete as a duo, with both players controlling one champion each.
What has made Toshi and Haru stand out on stream is their total synergy, with fans noting that they seem to play as one person. The concept of the twins fighting together in a duo game has tugged at the FGC’s heartstrings — some fans have even become emotional while watching them compete.
While the possible story unfolding with 2WINz is already intriguing, the FGC is becoming excited about the stories and connections that will unfold with duos in general. Fighting games are often played alone, showcasing complete concentration, skill and dedication. But 2XKO is bringing 2v2 play to the fighting game scene in a big way, building on the dynamic and emotional nature of FGC duos in games like Super Smash Bros.
2WINz have started sharing content on YouTube and Twitch about their journey and playstyle as twins. It looks like we are witnessing the start of something quite big in the fighting game scene.
