Miyagi No Tekken: Malta's Rising Fighting Game Powerhouse

Since its founding in 2024 under the Visionary Iron Team banner, MNT – Miyagi No Tekken has rapidly emerged as Malta's premier destination for aspiring fighting-game competitors. From casual joystick novices to tournament-ready pros, MNT delivers expert coaching, a supportive community, and the competitive fire you need to level up your game.

A Legacy of Excellence

At the heart of MNT stands founder and head coach Dylan Caruana, whose personal journey defines the team's ethos of dedication and mastery. Dylan discovered competitive fighting games at just 13 years old, quickly immersing himself in tournaments and grinding frame-perfect combos. By 18, he claimed the title of Maltese #1 in Mortal Kombat, a testament to his unwavering work ethic and strategic insight.

Not content with one discipline, Dylan transitioned to Tekken, where over the entire Tekken 7 era he reigned supreme as Malta's top player—racking up local titles, perfecting character matchups, and refining mental game tactics. When Tekken 8 launched, Dylan continued his competitive dominance, winning the first two national tournaments outright. After that triumphant start, he chose to channel his expertise into coaching, laying the foundation for MNT's structured training programs.
