Now that its the end of the TWT Regional season I am posting with great concern to the legitimacy of the Oceanic TWT rankings. @nickromancer_tk has already posted with great evidence the player Allidar is benefiting from inflated and boosted numbers at his Dojos. After looking at each Dojo that has awarded Allidar points I have found that the events often have "semi DQs" and a massive amount of full DQs however they carefully ensure to never drop below +64 and +48 man events so Allidar is able to get as many points as possible.
These 48 and 64 man events are very important for Guam as those numbers are not easily reached in Australia.

In October the bracket of 110 entrants has a total of 46 DQs leaving the total players at exactly 64 players.

The Bracket in November has a total amount of 40 players and 8 DQs leaving the players at 32 players.

September is one of the most drastic cases as this bracket has 70 entrants with 20 partial DQs and at least 8 full DQs. Of these partial DQs many of the players lose 0-2 in winners or losers side as one of their games, one of these players being Kensanity the president of the Guam Esports Federation who runs many of these Dojos.

Another case of a "64 man event" is Augusts Dojo with 104 attendees has a total of 52 partial DQs and 18 full DQs meaning half of the players at this event were DQd. Julys Dojo has a total of 54 attendees with 7 DQs which leaves them at a 48 man event exactly.

From the GESF IG
ChatGPT aside, the response is basically just "Allidar is good at Tekken" and "our community is just really passionate!!"
No one is arguing about his Tekken skill. But even if it was Knee or Arslan living in Guam, having 20+ DQs every dojo shouldn't be allowed

As someone who cares deeply about competition in the Oceania Tekken scene, I feel it’s important to bring attention to something that’s been affecting a lot of players. There’s a serious integrity issue in Tekken 8 TWT’s Oceania region, particularly involving Guam. @BNEesports @TEKKEN @mykeryu @nkt_dreamer @Harada_TEKKEN

Evidence suggests that Allidar may be benefiting from irregular tournament reporting (hosted by GuamEsportsFederation) , which creates unfair advantages on the regional leaderboard. Unfortunately, members of the community have previously raised these concerns with Bandai Namco, but with no clear resolution yet, this approach feels like the best way for the community’s voice to be heard. Although I want to be clear: if there’s verifiable evidence that disproves any of this, I genuinely welcome correction. 

Guamesportsfederation (on Instagram) appears to be hosting numerous tournaments throughout the past two years to support Allidar’s run for 1st place on the Oceania leaderboard. In 2024, Allidar placed first on the leaderboard allowing him to be flown overseas to participate in the LCQ.
