Marn talks to Yahoo! Esports about Julio Fuentes, SoCal Street Fighter, and more

One of the more unique and memorable players in our community is Rise’s Martin “Marn” Phan. Known for his outspoken nature and his amusing and–at times questionable–antics, the Vietnamese American veteran has been out of the spotlight somewhat after his top 4 performance at NorCal Regionals last year. However, his recent appearance at TBS’s ELEAGUE showed us that Marn is still here, and is still up to his usual behavior.

Yahoo! Esports’ Michael Martin recently got the chance to talk to Marn, and the latter wasted no time going all in. He spends a good amount of time focusing on Echo Fox|Julio Fuentes, who just barely outranked him at ELEAGUE to send him home, saying how the latter “wasted” his slot. In addition to this, he also has some things to say about the Southern California scene–and himself as well.
