Kane Blueriver Talks Winter Brawl X, Filipino Champ, and More with Hold Back to Block

As one of the first major tournaments he’s attended since winning Evo 2015, Team Black Eye’s Nicolas “Kane Blueriver” Gonazalez had a lot on his plate at Winter Brawl X this past weekend. In addition to “defending” his title, he was also primed to compete in a high-profile exhibition against Panda Global’s Ryan “Filipino Champ” Ramirez.

After the event, Hold Back to Block got a chance to talk to Kane about his experience, which included a loss to Filipino Champ in the exhibition but a first-place finish in the actual tournament. Overall, he mentions being thankful that he got a chance to see how he measured up to a player of Champ’s calibre.

Kane also took some time to talk about Evo 2015 and his reaction to winning. He states that he thought he would feel different, but then realized that it wasn’t so much about winning than it was about moving on and becoming a stronger player.

Of course, this is just part of their discussion, so be sure to check out the entire interview below.
