The kid who slayed the gods of Street Fighter

For most players, the journey to the top can be long and brutal. Many of them spend years chasing greatness, and when someone comes from nowhere to take down the very best, history is made. At Capcom Cup 11, the conclusion of Street Fighter 6’s 1 million dollar Pro Tour, legends like Punk, Tokido, and MenaRD were favorites to win it all. But things took an unexpected turn. Overcoming experienced veterans and the absolute elite, a 15-year-old prodigy from Chile emerged, and his name is Derek Blaz. Why does he resemble a fighting game god to so many people, and how could anyone stop such a young force of nature? Special thanks to Keoma Pacheco, Uriel Spada and 2Game Brasil, for providing video footage and resources that were crucial for making this video.
