I spoke with Ludovic Mbock, a quiet kid from Cameroon who became one of the world's top Chun-Li players and built connections and community along the way. When ICE detained him in February, that community came back for him and refused to let him go.

I'm seeing a some people are upset at the placement for Rivals of Aether 2 at EVO
For anyone unaware, I am the publisher for that game
I also remember being in the crowd at EVO 2016 and watching hungrybox beat armada through losers
It was a seminal weekend for me. I returned from Vegas and started grinding smash, got my ass beat. Then I started grinding commentary, and later on that turned into streaming
To have another platform fighter, and it be the one I publish, means something to me (regardless of how you feel about us...)
To clarify I did buy a bunch of EVO passes to help make this the biggest Rivals 2 tournament we've ever had
We handed passes to the top 128 players, ran online qualifiers, ran locals, and gave passes to TO's to give out to their community
I'm sure I got taken advantage of. People sold codes, shared them without permission, and signed up with no intention of playing. But that's the price I'm willing to pay to make this the biggest Rivals 2 event we've ever had. The community has rallied around this, and I'm pumped to go to EVO this year
See yall there (Saturday night)
bittersweet not attending EVO this year after going every year since 2017, but i’m very grateful I was able to attend all those years and meet a lot of great people. not sure when i’ll be back, but hopefully i’ll catch you guys around at grassroots and other events in the future.
@InaYuchannel Great idea to provide both context and further translations to new Tip2Tip series. I hope your work continues to be rewarded. I'm enjoying your watch-throughs as well
