I haven't watched a FGC tournament for a number of reasons, but the top 8 was excellent.

iDom with one of the craziest loser bracket runs in recent memory, then the grand finals reset, back and forth until the last game, last round. Kawano though? my god, immaculate defense. with Kolin, too. I'm three seasons behind on the meta but fuck, hard to see how that is advantageous against Laura.

USA still has not won the main EVO Street Fighter game in 12 years, spanning the release and end of both SF4 and SFV. land of the free.
