Red Bull Kumite & Street Fighter champ MenaRD interview
Before the final knockout finishes playing on the screen, he jolts up from his seat and stretches out his arms in an embrace to the crowd. His eyes scan the audience for a familiar face and then he’s smothered by the excitement of his friends, who drape him with the Dominican Republic flag. The simultaneous chants of “Mena” meld with the roar of thunder sticks as the champion shakes hands with all the fans who came to a warehouse in Greenpoint to watch him play—and win.
Season One Exit Survey
If Street Fighter 6 stopped its current incredible momentum, it would still be considered one of the most successful fighting games in modern memory. A historical first month of sales, the largest fighting game tournament in terms of entrants at Evolution Fighting Game Championship ever, and the largest prize pool via Capcom Cup, the number of firsts that the game set is staggering.
"We Don't Come to Just Participate" - G2 CEO Alban Dechelotte talks VALORANT, Olympics
Alban Dechelotte is eyeing more than just esports success in his position at G2 Esports – he’s looking to make real tangible connections everywhere and is using his experience from Riot to Coca-Cola to do so.

Just Another Tournament - AngryBird on Preparing for Evo 2023
Amjad “AngryBird” Alshalabi was emotionally and mentally drained. He took his time to answer the few questions presented to him by the various microphones and cameras in the room before automatically looking toward the exit. He looked around aimlessly before occupying all his attention to his phone with an empty hallway in front of him. He was finally alone with his thoughts.
Kizzie Kay on Making the Switch to SF6

the MenaRD Era in Street Fighter 6 Has Just Begun
After Saul Mena won the final Capcom Cup for Street Fighter 5, he slowly paced himself up the stairs toward the player’s lounge with his gaze ever forward and free of distraction. He acknowledged every passing congratulation from production staff and players alike before setting his bag on the press couch.

‘The White Lotus’ Season 2 – Episode 6 & 7 Reviews: Mike White Delivers Big And Unexpected Payoffs In Stunning Finale
Mike White’s The White Lotus is a strange show, but a very good kind of strange. What started out as a relatively low-key story about people traveling to Italy to either get away from their demons or cope with their flaws has slowly twisted into something bizarre and unexpected.
With their focus on steady improvement, is it time to believe in CLG again?
Before Counter Logic Gaming completed their first playoff series victory over an opponent since 2019 in a clinic over Golden Guardians last week, there was a chant in the crowd: “I believe in CLG.” It wasn’t an established motto or a repeatable phrase brimming with a “bring it on” attitude, but it was a fitting rally cry for a team that kept surprising analysts, casters and opposing teams alike throughout the League Championship Series summer split.
Latif set for his international return at money match ahead of Evo
For two-and-a-half games, Abdullatif “Latif” Alhmili tried neutral jumping, focus attack feints, backdashing and flame kicks to close out his ironclad defensive opponent Keita “Fuudo” Ai to no avail. He was one round away from exiting what would be his best tournament showing at this point. The round began and Latif found himself in the corner against one of the worst characters to deal with, Fei Long.
Ahead of Evo, Hotashi confident going in to money match vs. Latif
Guilty Gear Strive in North America is running on Julian “Hotashi” Harris’ clock. The best Nagoriyuki in the world, the most consistent tournament placer in the West, and the highest-profile money match target is about to be the talk of the anime world again with the Evolution Fighting Game Championships (Evo) set to happen this weekend.
ApologyMan ready to prove he’s more than just a character specialist
Vineeth Meka is a character specialist in the fighting game community, and for the longest time, that was his immediate claim to fame. His personality and creativity through the lenses of Firebrand in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Piccolo in Dragon Ball FighterZ and now Faust in Guilty Gear Strive has made him a fan favorite in tournaments. But notoriety through character specialty is a double-edged sword.
Why Cuddle_Core is prepared to reach new heights in Tekken
A chant of “let’s go Cuddle” broke out through the crowd at Combo Breaker as rows upon rows of people raised their hands in support of their hometown hero before the screen flashed “Next Battle.” It was the loser’s bracket for the top eight of Tekken 7 and the person that commanded the crowd’s affection was one game down and on the brink of elimination.
Despite disappointment in Capcom Cup cancellation, Brian_F is thriving
Brian “Brian_F” Foster, maybe more than anyone in the fighting game community, is on the verge of becoming the hottest commodity available. His community, affectionately nicknamed “The Dumpster,” which follows and cheers him on when he streams his online sets, tournament runs, training mode lab time or when he plays miscellaneous popular games, was curated because of his hard work and grind-heavy mentality coupled with a very relatable personality.
SonicFox, JWong give their take on Riot Games’ Project L
One of the biggest reasons that the fighting game community put Street Fighter IV on a pedestal was the fact that it rejuvenated the entire genre from obscurity. It brought every major player group under one umbrella and ended what many dubbed as the “dark ages” of competitive fighting games.
From getting his U.S. visa to winning CEO, Arslan Ash is on top of the world
Arslan Siddique is on top of the world. The Pakistani Tekken professional player that goes by the name Arslan Ash is usually on top of the standings in Tekken tournaments, but with his recent United States visa approval, the opportunity to conquer more than his region and the occasional international tournament is finally here. Arslan Ash put his name on the map in 2019 after winning Evo and Evo Japan.
Beastcoast's Apologyman praises the "quality of strategy" at Red Bull Kumite Las Vegas
Ever the bracket threat and gatekeeper, Apologyman is here to prove he can run with some of the best players in Guilty Gear Strive at Red Bull Kumite Las Vegas. Vineeth “ApologyMan” Meka is a name you’d know if you’ve been around the FGC for any length of time. While he has very few tournament wins to his name, he’s always a threat in the bracket, especially in Marvel vs Capcom 3 where he has taken games off of several top players.
Who and what to watch in Guilty Gear Strive and Street Fighter V at NEC
Offline is back. Finally. This weekend is the Northeast Championship (NEC), and it marks a return to offline fighting game majors in North America. It will take place at Nerd Street’s new Localhost spot in Center City Philadelphia, with most pool play happening Saturday and bracket play Sunday. The event will include competitions in Guilty Gear Strive, Soulcalibur VI, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Mortal Kombat 11 and more. Two of the most contested games will be Guilty Gear and Street Fighter V.
Guilty Gear Strive: King of the FGC or Flash in the Pan?
Arc System Works’ Guilty Gear Strive is currently the darling of the FGC – but will it remain that way, or just be a flash in the pan? Esports.gg spoke to pros and commentators for their thoughts. Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske are not Ryu and Ken, and they’re certainly not Scorpion and Sub-Zero, but what they lack in name recognition with the masses is made up for their current place as the faces of the fighting game community.
Esports bet pays off for daily fantasy sports during the pandemic
Esports was probably not on the original list of things that will keep daily fantasy sports sites profitable in 2020, but the meteoric success of DFS in pro gaming is one of the rare sports success stories during the pandemic. Despite DraftKings offering it as a game as early as 2015 and FanDuel providing the first legal and online esports betting platform late last year, there really wasn’t an initial push to draw a large audience.

Tekken 7 VSlash's Arslan "Arslan Ash" Siddique is your new Tekken 7 Evo champion. 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. Despite Knee's attempts to change up the momentum with his bag of characters, Arslan Ash forced the tempo and out-poked Knee.

Vancouver Titans Record: 6-1 | Map W/L/T: 21-7-0 | Map Diff: +14 | Change: +1 The Titans suffered their first regular season defeat against the Los Angeles Valiant last week due to an inability to deal with the Valiant's Sombra compositions as well as lackluster attempts to run a Sombra of their own.
Four things to know about CEO 2019
CEO <3 Smash Bros. CEO's reputation as a welcoming haven for Super Smash Bros. was common knowledge. That sentiment was reaffirmed after the registration numbers became clear. Not only did Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lead the pack in entries with 1164 players, it lapped the rest of the field with nearly 600 more registrants than the second-highest game (Mortal Kombat 11). Perhaps the most glaring observation with the overall turnout is the stark difference between Ultimate and Super Smash Bros.

One competitor's view from one of the world's biggest fighting-game tournaments
It’s 9 a.m. in Sacramento, Calif., and it was way too early to be awake. I kept my eyes closed to the sun to keep my memories of sleep intact. My first night of the Northern California Regionals (NCR), one of the biggest fighting game tournaments in the country, was chock full of activity. In addition to driving up to Sacramento, I met up with friends from around the world and ate with whomever was available.

The Trouble with the View from Above
State naming practices and local, customary naming practices are strikingly different. Each set of practices is designed to make the human and physical landscape legible, by sharply identifying a unique individual, a household, or a singular geographic feature. Yet they are each devised by very distinct agents for whom the purposes of identification are radically different.
