Month: July 2016

Evolution 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada ended last weekend, but it’s still the talk of the town in the FGC all over social media. In the latest entry of their “Best Of III” series of videos, Mike “Danke” Schiller, Efren Salinas, Steve Jurek and John “Velociraptor” Guerrero recap some of the major hioghlights and results from Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat X, Super Smash Bros. Melee and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. They also touch on various topics that surrounded the event such as tournament organization, the low prize money payouts for Melee and Smash Bros. for Wii U and what they thought of the ESPN2 broadcast of SFV.

The rest of the video is an in-dpeth interview with Joe “L.I. Joe” Ciaramelli who had an incredible run in SFV last weekend placing fifth out of over 5,000 competitors, eliminating the likes of top-level such as Kazunoko and Eita from Japan along the way. In the interview, Joe talks about his performance, where he places Nash on the tier list, his dad showing up to watch him play in the top eight finals and future sponsorship opportunities. Interestingly enough, he even tells the touching story behind the pink backpack he wears at tournaments.

You can watch the entire recap and interview in the video below.
