Vanguard Episode 3 Street Fighter V Results, Replays and Interviews with SD|Pnoy and Filipinoman

This past weekend, the third installment in Red Bull’s Vanguard series in Santa Ana, CA, featuring Street Fighter V, took place at the Esports Arena. Some of SoCal’s most notable players were in attendance such as Anton “Filipinoman” Herrera, Arlieth, NYChrisG, Mike L. Na, Brenttiscool as well as Rommel “ROM” Macatangay from NorCal for his second Vanguard event.

The competition was as fierce as ever with a lot of SoCal’s best players going up against each other very quickly in pools to crack into the top 16, and eventually top eight, to earn points for a chance to go to the Red Bull Proving Grounds Regional Championship finals. You can check out the videos for pools and top eight matches below.

FGC commentator, James Chen, also did some short interviews with Richard “SD|Pnoy” Clink and Filipinoman during and after the tournament.
