![]() ![]() In what was originally slated to be a very Japanese-favored anime fighter, Shinku proved that he was not only the legitimate best, but did with multiple convincing victories over the rest of the pool. He was one of three players from the United States in the top eight among a field that featured some of the best players from Japan such as Kyamei, Seitaro "domi" Ohno, SSNO's Kazuyiki "KojiKOG" Koji, and CYCLOPS athletic gaming's Shoji "Fenritti" Sho. Oscar "Shinku" Jaimes survived a bracket reset from Kamei "Kyamei" Hiroyuki to take the win in the grand finals of BlazBlue. It may just be a matter of time before he finally wins an event. With a fifth-place finish, Machabo's consistency is second-to-none (third place finishes at VS Fighting, CEO, and Combo Breaker). His switch to Street Fighter V from Guilty Gear paid off. In addition, five different regions were represented (China, Japan, USA, UK, and United Arab Emirates) for a truly international tournamentĭespite all the surprises, there were still three consistent names in the top 8: Yoshimito Gaming's Masahiro "Machabo" Tominaga, Fudoh's Atsushi "Fujimura" Fujimura, and Bonchan. From ChaoZhou "Yang Mian" Huang, who came into his top-8 placement with just 211 career Capcom Pro Tour points to recently sponsored Cygames Beast's DC "Infexious" Coleman, many new faces could make their debut at the Capcom Cup. The unpredictable and grueling nature of the large field for Street Fighter V at Evo provided plenty of breakthrough performances. His change in pace naturally disrupts an opponent's own tempo and coupled with his own footsie game and reactions on hit-confirms and anti-airs provided the perfect formula for world domination. Bonchan prevented a grand final reset from a NASR's Adel "Big Bird" Anouche and won with his impressive Karin, 3-2.īonchan's recent level up could be attributed to his mixture of styles from slow and steady Sagat to neutral-heavy Karin. Bonchan's current run of dominance (first at VS Fighting, CEO, and a third-place finish at the Taipei Major) continues the trend this year of a single player dominating the tour. With his Evo victory, Bonchan secured his third straight premier event win on the Capcom Pro Tour and cemented his status as the best Street Fighter player right now. ![]() Red Bull's Masato "Bonchan" Takahashi is your Street Fighter 5 Evo champion. The finals for the day include BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7 and Super Smash Bros. The final day of the Evolution Championship Series 2019 is here. Tekken 7 is in a great spot in the competitive spectrum. A victory could easily go down to whether or not the opponent was a counter to their own will: Arslan Ash's impenetrable defense, Knee's movement-based play, Take's all-out offense, and Lowhigh's reads all presented significant hurdles. Every player was unique and presented their own challenges outside of their character choices. Perhaps it was the variety of play styles that had an impact on the number of lopsided matches in the top 8. (Radiance's Hoa "Anakin" Luu) and Japan (Team YAMASA's Daichi "Nobi" Nakayama and Abe "Take" Takehiko, THY's Yuta "Chikurin" Take, and Cooasgames Esports' Takumi "Noroma" Hamasaki). Led by the new Tekken lord, Arslan Ash from Pakistan, the other regions were the U.S. The biggest surprise of the tournament was the high number of Japanese competitors in the finals, with five (three of which were Japan's best players). With only two players from the region in the top 8, ROX's Jae Min "Knee" Bae and UYU's Sun-woong "Lowhigh" Yoon, it was a global affair. He backs up his win at Evo Japan earlier this year and becomes the first fighting game player to win both Evos in the same game one year.Įvo provided the perfect environment for the rest of the field to catch up the South Korean dominance in Tekken 7. Despite Knee's attempts to change up the momentum with his bag of characters, Arslan Ash forced the tempo and out-poked Knee. The grand finals was the match that many wanted - a battle between the two best players in Tekken 7 pitting legend in the game against the new standard. VSlash's Arslan "Arslan Ash" Siddique is your new Tekken 7 Evo champion.
