STREET FIGHTER V — All the talk of who has the best Street Fighter V players between North America and Europe finally came to a head.

The 9v9 team battle captained by MenaRD for the U.S. and Luffy for EMEA took place over Evo weekend. Out of all of the top players who competed — two showed up and showed out, representing for their team. 

Below is the breakdown of how the exhibition played out:

Idom beats Angrybird (2-1)

Idom beats Mister Crimson (2-0)

Luffy beats Idom (2-1)

Luffy beats Chris CCH (2-0)

Luffy beats Shine (2-0)

MenaRD beats Luffy (2-1)

MenaRD beats Kilzyou (2-0)

Phenom beats Mono (2-0)

Phenom beats Sabin (aka Young Arturo) (2-1)

Phenom beats SMUG (2-1)

Phenom beats JB (2-0)

The team battle almost didn’t happen as finding players willing to fight became an issue. In the end, the question of who’s the most dominant in the game was answered. 

Although the U.S. fell to EMEA, in the end, the viewers were the winners — thanks to the hilarious commentary provided by RobTV and Logan Sama. 

Winners received their share of the crowd-funded Matcherino worth over $2000 and bragging rights — at least until the release of Street Fighter 6.
