As the world recovers from the spectacle that was Evo 2017, many esports organizations are starting to look to the fighting game community to find new players that can represent them. The latest player to get picked up by a team is Hong Kong’s Kevin “Saunic” Souvanheuane, who has been signed by Talon Esports.
Saunic has recorded a number of impressive performances in tournaments in the region. These include a second place finish in Thaiger Uppercut, and a 8th place finish at the Hong Kong eSports festival last year. Both helped him reach the rank of 61 in the Capcom Pro Tour worldwide rankings last year.
Talon Esports is a Hong Kong-based esports organization, that usually competes in the Greater China Area. More known for competing in Blizzard’s Overwatch, Talon recently entered into the world of competitive fighting games by signing Taiwanese Street Fighter V player Xaiobao — who finished 9th at Evo 2017.
