You muz be wondering what happened last weekend right.
Last weekend was Evo2013, the biggest fighting game tournament of the year. Its like the World Cup of fighting games for the Fighting Game Community.
And this event is even more meaningful for the Singapore Fighting Game Community.
We had a champion this time round !
Our local golden boy, Ho Kun Xian, know as DM.MCZ Xian, went against all odds and got the champion for the main event.
Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition 2012.
Sponsered by local company, Team Desperation Move, Xian have done his sponser proud and his country proud.
Having Gen as his main, a mid low tier character, there were alot of nad matchup for this character as the character is slow and having limited moves.
He performed just like a champion in the making, not losing to the likes of the koreans, amerians, europeans and of course the japanese.
He did the impossible of winning Sako in the semi-finals and Tokido in the Winners Finals. Defeating 2 of the fighting game gods of japan which he previously had alot of trouble in defeating them.
And its was Tokido again at the grand finals after Tokido had defeated Korea's Infiltration in the Losers Finals.
It was exciting, it was breath taking. It was the grand finals of Xian vs Tokido, Gen vs Akuma. Top tier vs mid tier.
And Xian came out on top ! Defeating Tokido 3-0 in the grand finals, getting the champion for the main event !
It was the first time a Singaporean won a main event.
The history in the making for Singapore, finally being recognised by the rest of the world.
Finally there'a a name of DM.MCZ Xian from Singapore in the top player list together with the big names of Daigo, Mago, Tokido, Sako, Kazunoko, Fuudo from Japan and Justin Wong, PR Balrog, ChrisG, Ricky Ortiz from USA and Ryan Hart, Louffy from Europe.
All thanks to Xian that shown the world we are not a force to be reckon with !
