Infiltration, Eita, and Momochi Give Their Assessment of the FGC Skill Gap

Last week, we reported on an interview between Razer|Infiltration, GW|Eita, and EG|Momochi regarding what they would change about Capcom Pro Tour’s structure. But that was apparently not all they talked about.

With all the stunning upsets at Capcom Cup that culminated in the rise of the United States on the Street Fighter map, it was even more necessary for them to discuss the changing climate of the tournament scene. As such, the three also discussed how much the perceived skill gap between the USA and Japan has changed over the course of this year.

Team Allegiance Steps into the World of Super Smash Bros. Melee by Signing Edgard “n0ne” Sheleby

Known for their presence in console esports like Halo, Gears of War and Call of Duty, Allegiance joins the growing number of esports teams who are entering the world of Super Smash Bros. by signing notable Captain Falcon main, Edgard “n0ne” Sheleby. This signing comes off the back of n0ne’s continued growth as a player throughout the whole of 2016, racking up wins against Druggedfox, VwS|Professor Pro, CLG|PewPewU, fellow Captain Falcon Tempo|S2J, DNL|Duck and most famously, FOX|Mew2King at Get On My Level 2016 and UGC Smash Open.

The initial victory over Mew2King made n0ne the first Falcon to take a set off M2K in over a decade, really catapulting n0ne into the spotlight. His “no fear” approach to matches, his amazing conversions off of single hits and his ice cold demeanor make n0ne an absolute joy to watch when he gets going.

Allegiance are partnering up with n0ne’s previous sponsor, Even Matchup Gaming, in order to provide him with the right resources to grow as a player in 2017, as well as to branch out into Smash with the knowledge of a well-renowned organization.
