This kid is insane, I'd never even heard of him before CC. His reactions on defence are otherworldly.

This whole Capcom Cup was a big reality check for people like me that counted out anyone unknown from minor regions, they all stepped up big. If you asked me about Blaz at CC before I would've probably complained and called him a waste of a spot for a real competitor. I'm glad i got proven wrong.

Watching his Ryu take down big name after big name was amazing.

Not with any stupid gimmicks either, just great fundamentals, reads, and reactions.

The stream chat said he trains with the Brazilian fgc, so shot out to them.
