Dreamhack Winter 2016 has ended with a surprising win from BX3.T-Link|Phenom takes it while defeating Daigo, Mago, Reiketsu, and finally 2nd place RZR|Fuudo. Tokido continues his consistency of 2nd and 3rd place taking 3rd. YOUDEAL MJS|Haitani rounds out the top 4 with his patented Necalli. The rest of top 8 are BST.RB|Daigo Umehara, RB|Luffy, Mago, and EG|Momochi.

Today was Europe's day. Many Japanese players were pushed down to the losers bracket by European competitors. Ryan Hart against Daigo, Brick and Saltykid against MOV, and Phenom against anyone he faced. Speaking of Phenom, since DHS is in fact a Premier event Phenom takes a guaranteed spot in Capcom Cup 2016.

Next up we have Community Effort Orlando in Florida. Also part of Daigo's "Road to Evo" many of the players you saw today will also be going here. Now it's North America's turn to defend their turf. If not this will be the second time Europe has taken something over NA, when Luffy won Evo in 2014.

See you next week for Florida. They always pull off a beautiful tournament so if you can drop by and take a gander.

Hey guys, CEO kicks off today but the SFV tournament doesn't start until tomorrow, however, SFV Rumble (the team tournament) will be played today.

Yet another Premier Event with many top international players in attendance. Most notably the players considered the best in the world: Justin Wong, Infiltration, and Momochi, are all meeting at this event. Phenom, however, is not currently in attendance. Other than that we have a slew of top players coming in today from all over the world. Many staying after CEO waiting and training for Evo in just 2 weeks.

CEO ends with Tokido taking both first place and a guaranteed spot in Capcom Cup 2016. 2nd is RZR|Infiltration who Tokido finally overtook at this event. EG|Momochi lies in 3rd place after a thrilling match with Tokido with Tokido getting a full 3-2 comeback. Finally we have YOUDEAL MJS|Haitani taking 4th. The rest of the top 8 are Liquid|Nuckledu, BST|Daigo Umehara, Mago, and CBZ Ohnuki.

What an amazing event. CEO never fails to impress. Next we have G-League, China's first premier event. Expect the Chinese players and many other asian players to make the trip. Some may be split, however, as Evolution 2016 is just 1 week after G-League. Some may consider skipping G-League to stay in the USA for Evo. Perhaps those who went to CEO are staying until Evo as well.

2 more big events until a slew of ranking events. The best period this year.

Edit: a couple things to note
Poongko made his first top 16 here, I hope this signals the return to his rightful place as a top 8 player. Looks like he keeps getting better and better.
A surprise placement from Coin Up|Ludovic getting just outside of top 8.
Stupendous also makes top 16 as Zangief, the first placement of Zangief in top 16 at majors.

G-League pools are starting today.

This is the last read on the Asian players before Evo. Many are going however those already in America post-CEO have opted to stay in America. Tokido and Momochi, premier champions, are expected to attend the event, however, so it is possible that we will see a repeat champion between the two. Other strong players such as Kazunoko, Fuudo, Bonchan, RB, Go1, Eita, Haitani, Mago, Xian, and the usual Chinese players Dakou, Jiewa, Xiao Hai and GamerBee (Taiwanese but it counts kind of?). Shiro, HumanBomb, and Itabashi Zangief are also in attendance.

Real talk I think HumanBomb is ridiculous in this game. He is always slept on during big tournaments. Even in Capcom Cup 2015 he beat Fuudo and Mago, while losing to Poongko (who made 4th place) and narrowly losing to Snake Eyez (7th place).

It was probably really hard to tell (probably because you couldn't see any of it) but Qanba Douyou|Xiao Hai has won G-League. As per usual Xiao Hai becomes the best player in anything he touches as long as he is in China. 2nd place goes to RZR|Xian who took everyone by surprise by both is strong performance with FANG and his surprise Ibuki pick in grand finals (which, sadly, amounted to nothing really). In 3rd place HM|Go1 shows off his subtle consistency. Ever since Final Round he has done well in every tournament he entered. Another consistent performer from Japan is RZR|Fuudo who takes 4th place, just barely beating out 5th place's DNG|Itabashi Zangief. Itazan surprised many by taking the first Zangief top 8 in CPT, and at a stacked premier event no less. The rest of the top 8 are HM|Eita, GGP|Kazunoko, and HumanBomb (aka my boy).

Just outside of the top 8 are 4 players that really should not be top 8. Not to denounce the current top 8 but these players' capabilities define them as top players. Mago, Tokido, Haitani, and Poongko all share 9th place. Tokido especially took 17th place after being eliminated by Poongko.

I feel that Poongko is finally starting to really get this game and I'm betting that we're going to see him do pretty well at Evo.

Next week is Evo which I will also be in attendance for. See you guys there!

EVO PREDICTIONS

I'd like to hear everyone's top 8 predictions (maybe a little bit on why) and also any other little predictions you guys might have.

Here is mine:
7th - HumanBomb
7th - Haitani
5th - Xiao Hai
5th - Nuckledu
4th - Justin Wong
3rd - Momochi
2nd - Tokido
1st - Infiltration

HumanBomb - He has really stepped it up since USF4. He was already fairly decent in USF4, placing decently at CCC 2015 at 17th. Now he has really kicked it up a notch. His play is clean and I believe that he still has so much room to grow as a player even after Evo. I might be stretching it but I think he's going to do swell for the years to come.

Haitani - Considered by many Japanese players to be the best in Japan, there's no question he will at least do well. It does seem, however, that he tends to lose to players outside of Japan. Being at Evo there is no shortage of international talent. We will see how far he gets but it feels wrong to keep him out of top 8.

Xiao Hai - I just feel like this is a game that suits some of Xiao Hai's strengths well. Brilliant reactions, rock solid execution, and some decent spacing. He was one of, if not the best, Cammy players in SF4 and right now he's looking stronger than anyone else. Especially after winning G-League.

Nuckledu - The first American to show up on the list and he is at 5th place. A little ambitious but I believe in him. Nuckledu is a very versatile player that is known to do really well against international players. Even without much practice he did well last year at CCC 2015 and now he's putting in the time.

Momochi - Aside from a shaky showing at G-League Momochi quickly grew into a major threat after the initial phase of SFV's lifespan. His patented Ken with all the tech, reactions, spacing he needs to turn Ken into a deadly weapon. Not only that Momochi is known to keep pocket characters just in case. He had a Juri, Evil Ryu, and Elena in USF4 and it's possible he has something else in 5. He is half lab-monster and half mind reader and this makes him a very fierce competitor.

Justin Wong - Justing Wong, simply put, is a fighting game player. Justin Wong is a world class player in almost any game he touches. His dominance in MVC2 and to a lesser extent in U/MVC3 plus his brilliant track record in early SF4 and right now in SFV show that he is without a doubt at heart one of the best overall fighting game players of all time. His immaculate spacing, reads, experience, and knowledge makes him the best at America and for sure a top place at Evo this year.

Tokido - Just like Justin Wong, Tokido has traditionally always been very good at fighting games at it's core. He finds the cheap stuff and abuses it. That was before SF4, however. While he did use Akuma, who had the infamous "Akuma Vortex," he stated that he now realizes that he should stick to characters more often even if he finds cheap stuff from new characters or else he will not grow as a player. Tokido who was already placing in top 8 in games that release that year has stated that he will now grow as a player. That is scary and that is the reason I put him above Justin Wong.

Infiltration - It might be a little predictable but there's no way he isn't going to win this year. Infiltration was a master of many characters in USF4 and he should be no different in SFV. He already showed the world his FANG and I'm sure there's more to that. At the end of USF4's timeline he played 2 characters mostly. Chun-Li and Decapre. Decapre is very similar to Nash with his disengage, reengage playstyle with a dash that's similar to Decapre's pseudo-teleport. And guess who is similar to Chun-Li in SFV? well, Chun-Li of course. While it may not look like it with his Nash, Infiltration is a defensive player at heart. He is a very active and mobile defensive player. Chun-Li and Nash can play either the mobile or active defensive player and I believe he has a secret pocket Chun-Li ready for top 8 at Evo which will throw everyone off and he will win it all, for now.

Those are my preds and reasoning. What are yours?

(mind you i made my preds like a month ago ok)

I dont know enough sfv to write as much as you, but my hope is that Poongko makes top 8

I think Daigo will (unfortunately) get eliminated right before top 8

I think the top 3 will be Momochi/Tokido/Infiltration, and I'm gonna be rooting for Momochi

1) Infiltration. I just can't see Infil not taking this with the dominant year he's had. I wouldn't put it past him to have a a counterpick up his sleeve either.

2) Tokido. Continuing his story of near-excellence this year, Tokido will lose against his demon in GFs.

3) Momochi. The way Momochi plays Ken is different to any of the US players that won ranking events this year. Truly tested Tokido at CEO, will be a huge threat.

4)Haitani. The best player in Japan according to the Japanese players and the epitome of consistency. So many top 8s including 4th at CEO

5) Xian. Making the best out of a character considered low tier, Xian's top 8 placings cement him as a legitimate threat.

5) Kazunoko. As we saw at Capcom Cup in 2015, Kazunoko possesses the talent to read move after move. Armed with a solid character in Cammy, Kazunoko definitely has the potential to catch fire and tear through the bracket

7)Nuckledu Has some of the most impressive showings against international competition for a NA resident. His nash plays significantly different to Infil's yet suits his playstyle beautifully

7)Fuudo. Marn said it best when he said that top 8 would always have a random Mika and Fuudo is my selection. Godlike reactions guarantee Fuudo to be a threat, if not break top 8 with some sick airgrabs.

(some picks for top 16)
9-16) Daigo, Justin Wong, GO1, Chris T

Wildcards:
Keoma. Going out on a limb. Looked pretty good at his one showing at RBK
Will2Pac. Proved at Dreamhack Austin his Laura has massive upset potential.
Luffy. You can never trust a Mika and Luffy has been looking cleaner and cleaner
Phenom. I didn't get to catch DHS but he took out some killers on his way to victory. Worth considering
Eita. Could easily make top 16. The craziest Ken player out there. In this game Wake-up DP is a commitment and Eita lives and dies by his own madness.

Omissions:
Snake Eyez. Still needs to adapt to the new iteration of Zangief
Poongko. It's unclear if Capcom will ever make a character as versatile as Seth and Cammy clearly doesn't fill the gap. Seth was beautifully moulded to his playstyle and I lack faith in his ability to fully utilize Cammy to full potential.

Either way, Evo is going to be godlike. Just wish that SFV finals weren't at 3am for me.

Well there goes everyone's predictions.
Sorry for not making a post before Evo as I had to get ready for my flight.
But my goodness what an Evo it was.
All the games were great but I'll stick to what we've been talking about in this thread.

RZR|Infiltration is your Evolution 2016 winner. Also the only prediction I got right aside from RZR|Fuudo getting in top 8 who incidentally took 2nd place. In 3rd place is Yukadon who has made his break into the international scene with his Nash. In 4th place is HM|Go1 who continues his dominance as the world's cleanest Chun-Li player. However MOV is only steps behind, taking 5th along with the crowd's favorite LI Joe

Show Content
Now just let me just take a second to talk about LI Joe. He was without a doubt the highlight of SFV's Evo top 8 this year. I can tell you from someone who watched it live that the atmosphere was absolutely electrifying whenever Joe was even spotted around the arena. During his interview with Gootecks he points to us in the crowd and we couldn't help but just chant his name over and over again. Today NA wasn't represented by the Justin Wongs, the Nuckledus, or even the Ricki Ortiz', but by your average LI Joe.

After that the newly sponsored AW|Nemo takes 7th with his highly mobile Vega along with HM|Eita with his hyper aggressive Ken.

Evo was super good this year and I can only imagine how great Capcom Cup 2016 will be. See you guys next time when we see the return of many ranking events until the next premier event: The Tokyo Game Show

Also something I completely forgot was that there was an event happening during evo called SANA down in Brazil. The winner of that was Ericke Piquet da S. Maciel who I will now refer to as Ericke.

Luffy needs to drop R.Mika. In that MOV match he didn't command grab once and when you're limiting yourself that much with a character that rolls the dice, why play her? Chun has a rack too.

Also, if anyone wants to play my scrubby Nash hit me up.

Just so you guys know, the Topanga Charity Cup #6 has begun on twitch.tv/topangatv

While it's not part of the CPT many many top players are attending in I believe 5v5 teams. Pretty much every asian top player is in attendance aside from Infiltration. Even Snake Eyez is over there since he stayed after his appearance at the RAGE Tournament. The tournament is supporting the Tokyo branch of Red Cross. There is no english stream from my knowledge but you get to see Mago and Nemo commentate.

While I'm here I'll just shout out a couple things and contain it to one post.

Last weekend there was also an online tournament I was unaware of in which XsK_Samurai won. This grants him some points (I believe) but more importantly a spot in the regional finals.

VSFighting will be happening over in Birmingham, England. Also happening over the weekend is the online events for Latin America and Asia-Oceania. Expect top Euro players at VSFighting and perhaps the emergence of a new up and coming player within the online events.

Edit: Ok let me reiterate. The teams I'm looking at here are really stacked for the Topanga Charity Cup. It's impossible to tell who is going to win this. There's even top players from GGX out of Machabo in here. There's also teams consisting of quite a few Super Turbo and 3rd Strike players. Not even that but some tech monsters (those who find really crazy stuff in the game) are playing on teams as well. You must watch this it's going to be nuts.

VSFighting has already started and is quite well under way with a couple pools not starting yet and others about to finish up. Timezones... oh well.
While I did say to expect the top European players to attend there was one player I forgot to mention in the form of K-Brad, Brenttiscool, and Chris T. Chris T also got recently sponsored by EVB so he likely received quite a bit of help from them to get him here.

Many events this weekend have already started.

The Yangcheng Cup hosted by Dakou will be on http://twitch.tv/yangchengcup and hosts a great deal of asian players with mostly Japan being absent though there a couple Japanese representatives here.

The Yangcheng Cup has ended with Tse4444 from China taking 1st place. 2nd place comes from Xiaohu Ge and Dashen Bei Bei takes 3rd. 4th place end to a more familiar name in the form of RB|Bonchan. The rest of top 8 was HumanBomb, PandaTV|Dafan, Chris Wong, and PandaTV|Feiji Zi

Furia Tica 2016 is the event on this side of the hemisphere with the EG squad in attendance with a couple East Coast players here and there. The stream is on http://twitch.tv/true_challengers

Furia Tica 2016 has ended with Justin Wong adding another tournament win to his streak. A surprise visit from France's own Melty|Will2Pac will take the 2nd place. FOX|Julio Fuentes takes 3rd continuing to cement himself as a top American player with EG|Ricki Ortiz not far behind at 4th place. The rest of top 8 was NVT|Flash, ON|Gabo, TC507|Kakaroto, and EG|K-Brad

Well Played Cup is happening in Japan with many Japanese players plus a wild Xian appearing. He was also on BeasTV, Daigo's twitch weekly show. That will be happening on http://twitch.tv/beastapac

Mago takes his 2nd tournament this year taking 1st at Wellplayed Cup. BST|Daigo Umehara seems to be shaping up once more taking 2nd at this event. The HM duo HM|Go1 and HM|Eita take their consistent 3rd and 4th places. The rest of top 8 is Youshikibi, YOUDEAL MJS|Haitani, DNG|Itabashi Zangief, and Iori. To note is that Yukadon, AW|Nemo, and Kazunoko did not place as high as many would expect them to with 9th and 13th place finishes. Japan is definitely one of the strongest scenes in the world, however, so it may not come a surprise to the Japanese.

Also of note is the European Online Event One has ended with MD|Mister Crimson taking first place with his strange mix of Dhalsim and Laura. Rize|Cobelcog takes 2nd with his reactive Cammy while also securing a spot in the regional finals. AWS|Linkexelo takes 3rd seemingly coming out of nowhere. BX3|Phenom, Europe's current top player takes 4th today still showing off his consistency. The rest of the top 8 is rounded out with PxP|Problem X, Jijidalal7, Evans, and PRLS|Packz.

This weekend we have two events lined up: Summer Jam over in Philadelphia and E-Sports Festival Hong Kong 2016.

Summer Jam 2016 has already started and is going on at twitch.tv/teamsp00ky
Many USA players here but interestingly enough Justin Wong is absent currently in Japan so we're going to see a different champion this time around.

E-Sports Hong Kong Festival 2016 is starting in 4 hours or so on twitch.tv/beastapac
Many Asian players here making for some strong competition. Also to note is twitch.tv/beastapac has been covering a lot of Asians as of late so you may want to throw them a follow.

Daigo is slowly placing higher and higher. Got 2nd last week at Wellplayed cup losing to Mago. He will be going to ECT which is happening next month and is actually playing in the E-Sports Hong Kong Festival 2016 right now in winner's side.

Speaking of ESHKF 2016, top 8 will be happening in 1 hour or so. Winner's side is Eita vs Humanbomb and Daigo vs UD with Saunic vs Gamerbee and Dogura and Xian in loser's bracket.
E-SHKF 2016 ends with our lord and savior BST|Daigo Umehara taking 1st place. HM|Eita takes a step up from his usual placings taking 2nd, losing only to Daigo in the tournament. 3rd goes to ZW|GamerBee fresh off his new sponsor of Zowie. And finally 4th goes to China's own Fight Club|UD with his brilliant Cammy. The rest of top 8 are Humanbomb, RZR|Xian, HM|Dogura, and Saunic

Summer Jam X is also well underway and is approaching top 8 pretty soon. Lots of big names and with the absence of Justin Wong we will see a new western champion on our hands.
Summer Jam X has ended with Liquid|Nuckledu taking his first CPT win. He has won some other tournaments but they did not grant any points so good for him. 2nd place goes to old school player EG|Ricki Ortiz repping the west coast. In 3rd and 4th we have the trinity repping team ken in FOX|Julio Fuentes and EVB|Chris T. The rest of top 8 is NVT Flash, EG|K-Brad, Circa LPN, and F3.Alucard.

Next week we have 4 tournaments coming up but it is also during i58 so whatever you pick it will still be a great weekend of entertainment next week.

Absolute Battle in Dallas, Texas.

OzHadou Nationals 14 in Sydney, Australia.

Geek Lounge in Argentina

and Fight in Rio: Olympia in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Argentina Pro ended ages ago with DM|Baek taking 1st place and a spot in the Latin America regionals. 2nd place goes to TF|CapitainMDLuffy who may or not be a Luffy clone. 3rd goes to Trussy with Vega which I like to see as a Vega main myself. Finally 4th goes to SPES.NZA|DEM. The rest of top 8 is TF|FIght, Pumpit98, GC|Kyo, and iKyore

Absolute Battle 7 also ended last century with Liquid|Nuckledu taking his second North American CPT event win. With Justin Wong confirmed not going to anymore tournaments this could be a recurring theme we will be seeing. F3|Alucard takes 2nd place with his Birdie, Balrog, and Necalli. Quite the range. 3rd place comes to our future NA savior RB|Snake Eyez with both Zangief and Ryu. 4th then goes to RN|Alex Myers with his first high placing at a CPT I believe. The rest of top 8 are: PG|RayRay, TS|Sabin, Hsien Chang, and GTG|Mikeandike12.

Fight in Rio: Olympia ended last week with SOA|Brolyinho taking 1st place. It's Latin America so I'll just list off top 8. FIR|ZeusB, BigGodsCabeca, N2L|Cabelo3000, Innova|Keoma, Ludo, SFT|Dark, SFT|Tuabarao. All in order.

OzHadou Nationals 14 also ended last week with our real lord and savior BST|Daigo Umehara taking 1st place. 2nd goes to ZA|GamerBee who is also starting to show off his consistency in tournaments. 3rd goes to DNG|Itabashi Zangief who assists Snake Eyez in bringing in 2 Zangiefs to top 8 last weekend. 4th goes to EG-KBrad who is also the first player to get points from all 4 regions. The rest of top 8 is DS|Falco, HuomaoTV|HumanBomb, Shang Tsung, and PandaTV|Dark Jiewa.

Well lads, KBrad's at it again. He's back in Europe for revenge.

Celtic Throwdown 2016 is happening this weekend with many top European players attending as usual along with the aforementioned appearance of KBrad. Pools start on Saturday at 5AM EST on http://twitch.tv/brianvondoom

East Coast Throwdown is also happening this weekend. The biggest East Coast tournament of them all hosted by none other than LI Joe. Strangely enough all the US players are in Puerto Rico with only Alex Myers, Julio Fuentes, Sanford, and Yipes standing guard against the lone Japanese player at ECT: Daigo Umehara. Pools start Saturday at Noon EST on twitch.tv/teamsp00ky

First Attack 2016 is happening as well in Puerto Rico as I mentioned. Many top USA players are attending along with the appearance of r/kappa's newly sponsored Takeuchi John as well as Evo 5th place Go1. Nuckledu is probably looking to win another CPT event but with names like Snake Eyez, Ricki Ortiz, and perhaps even Chris Tatarian there the competition is going to be tough. That stream will actually be on http://twitch.tv/leveluplive thanks to Alex Valle (who is also competing).

And finally we have Ze Fighting Game Championship happening over in China. While I doubt you can actually watch the event (cursed Chinese internet) the competition is world class at this event. Kazunoko, Xian, Xiao Hai, GamerBee, Eita, and HumanBomb are all in attendance. It is, however, a Chinese tournament and Xiao Hai is actually invincible in any tournament if it's in China so maybe it won't matter. That will be on http://twitch.tv/fenghougame and pools start Saturday at 2AM so good luck watching it.

idk maybe this post will help you figure it out.

AND OUR BOY R/KAPPA|JOHN TAKEUCHI TAKES FIRST ATTACK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. He beats out HM|Go1 in a dominating 3-0 set after Go1 pulled out his own 3-0 to reset the bracket but ultimately falls in 2nd place. 3rd goes to EVB|ChrisT USA while Puerto Rico's own GAM|Dr Ray takes 4th defending his homeland. The rest of top 8 are EG|Ricki Ortiz, GAM|Caba, NVT|Flash, LU|Alex Valle.

As expected Qanba Douyu|Xiao Hai takes 1st at Ze Fighting Game Championship because it is a Chinese major. 2nd goes to RZR|Xian who again loses to Xiao Hai in the grand finals with both his FANG and Ibuki. 3rd went to ZW|GamerBee who is starting to really cement himself yet again as a top player along with HuomaoTV|HumanBomb taking 4th showing the same.

Celtic Throwdown 2016 over in Europe also ended with a sort of shaking victory. RB|Luffy takes first after many doubted his initial performances. 2nd goes to PRLS|Packz who really showed up considering he usually only takes 5th or 7th at most tournaments he goes to. 3rd went to Melty|Gen1us with his Birdie, a character people have been thinking is somewhat weak but this placing may change their minds again. Finally 4th goes to Europe's resident legend FA|Ryan Hart the prodigal son who also busted out his Guile. The rest of top 8 are AWS|Akainu, AWS|CCL, MBR, and Rize|Cobelcog

Show Content
also kbrad went and got 9th XD

And finally we have East Coast Throwdown 2016 the tournament Daigo went to. The winner of that is actually FOX|Julio Fuentes who, had Daigo not been in attendance, I would have pegged to win. 2nd goes to CoinUp|Ludovic with his Chun-Li, one of the two that eliminated Daigo. The other Chun-Li is in the form of 3rd place's PG|RayRay. And finally 4th place goes to OG|Shine who kept the choking to the minimum to bring him at least to top 4. The final top 8 are Danslip, F3Alucard, RaohNS, and GS|HamBam. Also to note that there was in fact a pool of death this tournament which had Smug, Sanford, and Dieminion all in there and a Rashid player just ran through all of them in winners.

Daigo got 9th tho praise be.

Next week we have 4 more events:

Manila Cup over in the Philippines so expect a lot of top Asian players attending.

Lockdown 2016 who is also receiving a visit from Daigo along with most of Europe's top players.

And there is also the online events for Latin America and North America; the final 2 for the regions.

Now here is where I'm torn because Japan Cup 2016 (AKA Tokyo Game Show) is happening on the 16. So is ToTH. That will be the first premier in a while so if you're truly interesting balance your time wisely. Who knows maybe the timezones will be nice enough to grant a lot of leeway.

c u then

idk maybe this post will help you figure it out.

AND OUR BOY [b]R/KAPPA|JOHN TAKEUCHI[/b] TAKES [b]FIRST ATTACK[/b] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. He beats out [b]HM|Go1[/b] in a dominating 3-0 set after Go1 pulled out his own 3-0 to reset the bracket but ultimately falls in 2nd place. 3rd goes to [b]EVB|ChrisT[/b] USA while Puerto Rico's own [b]GAM|Dr Ray[/b] takes 4th defending his homeland. The rest of top 8 are [b]EG|Ricki Ortiz, GAM|Caba, NVT|Flash, LU|Alex Valle.[/b]

As expected [b]Qanba Douyu|Xiao Hai[/b] takes 1st at [b]Ze Fighting Game Championship[/b] because it is a Chinese major. 2nd goes to [b]RZR|Xian[/b] who again loses to Xiao Hai in the grand finals with both his FANG and Ibuki. 3rd went to [b]ZW|GamerBee[/b] who is starting to really cement himself yet again as a top player along with [b]HuomaoTV|HumanBomb[/b] taking 4th showing the same.

[b]Celtic Throwdown 2016[/b] over in Europe also ended with a sort of shaking victory. [b]RB|Luffy[/b] takes first after many doubted his initial performances. 2nd goes to [b]PRLS|Packz[/b] who really showed up considering he usually only takes 5th or 7th at most tournaments he goes to. 3rd went to [b]Melty|Gen1us[/b] with his Birdie, a character people have been thinking is somewhat weak but this placing may change their minds again. Finally 4th goes to Europe's resident legend [b]FA|Ryan Hart[/b] the prodigal son who also busted out his Guile. The rest of top 8 are [b]AWS|Akainu, AWS|CCL, MBR, and Rize|Cobelcog[/b]

[spoiler]also kbrad went and got 9th XD[/spoiler]

And finally we have [b]East Coast Throwdown 2016[/b] the tournament Daigo went to. The winner of that is actually [b]FOX|Julio Fuentes[/b] who, had Daigo not been in attendance, I would have pegged to win. 2nd goes to [b]CoinUp|Ludovic[/b] with his Chun-Li, one of the two that eliminated Daigo. The other Chun-Li is in the form of 3rd place's [b]PG|RayRay[/b]. And finally 4th place goes to [b]OG|Shine[/b] who kept the choking to the minimum to bring him at least to top 4. The final top 8 are [b]Danslip, F3Alucard, RaohNS, and GS|HamBam.[/b] Also to note that there was in fact a pool of death this tournament which had Smug, Sanford, and Dieminion all in there and a Rashid player just ran through all of them in winners.
