BornFree talks to JB, the new Rashid player rising on the Turbulent Wind

BornFree takes some time to get to know the winner of The Challenger.

Ahead of SonicBoxx|JB’s fight in Group A of the ELEAGUE Street Fighter V Invitational — in which he put up an impressive display with his Rashid, but still fell to elimination via Tokido and Dogura — BornFree caught up with him at Combo Breaker 2018 to learn more about the rising Street Fighter V star. They talk about how NuckleDu convinced JB to join the ELEAGUE SFV reality show The Challenger — because there was no other way for JB to get a chance to go to ELEAGUE without winning the qualification spot through the show! Also discussed are his thoughts on other professional players, why he prefers fighting games to team-based games, his thoughts on Rashid’s viability in SFV, and more.

BornFree has a YouTube channel full of interviews like this. Go check it out!
