Original Gamer: "Japan's Fuudo finishes on top beating Abdullatif "Latif" Alhmili in Super Street Fighter 4 AE at Evo 2011. Over 1500 players competed in Super Street Fighter 4 AE that was a truly international field. Latif was the last U.S. player in the top 8 after Joshua "Wolfkrone" Philpot was eliminated in 7th place by Tokido."
A look at the upcoming Capcom Cup as well as all the latest news and results in the eSports world.
HelenBaby writes : "It’s always a cause for celebration when a new arcade opens, so we are pleased to announce that, as of last Monday (September 21st) London has its latest gaming venue! Joining the prestigious ranks of Namco Funscape, Las Vegas Soho and The Four Quarters ; VEGA London (as it is known) is located in the basement of a building known from the outside as VEGAS. It represents the building’s video game arcade section (the ground level floor is populated with gambling machines, in a similar setup to the Las Vegas arcade in Soho). VEGA London is a miniature arcade, yes, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for with in-demand arcade titles. Combine this with being situated in one of the most achingly cool neighborhoods in Central London (Angel, Islington) and you begin to appreciate what a formidable little pocket rocket this awesome little venue is".
Player2's regular eSports wrap up looks at two very different Street Fighter tourney's from opposite sides of the globe.
Capcom needs to balance their games better. Fei Long, Yun, and C. Viper were dominating AE while Phoenix and Wolverine were dominating Mahvel.
Daigo was so sure he was gonna dominate in MvC3. He didn't even win in Street Fighter.
Latif did beat Poongko and Daigo but Fuudo was just too much. His FeiLong was ridiculous. Congrats Fuudo.
EVO was crazy. The stream kept freezing on me due to the heavy traffic over 80k people was watching. The stream was horrible in PS Home but at least they tried. Better on Ustream.
