Detailed Look at Matchups

Matchup #1: Big Bird vs Bonchan

In a rematch of the 2019 EVO Grand Finals, two Red Bull athletes, Big Bird and Bonchan, renew their rivalry. Big Bird, then only 21, was on the verge of victory before the seasoned Bonchan executed a stunning comeback to claim the championship. This upcoming battle provides an opportunity for both players to settle the score in front of a passionate audience.

Matchup #2: Tokido vs MenaRD

MenaRD, who at just 18 stunned the world in the 2017 Capcom Cup with a stunning victory against the former EVO champion Tokido, has a chance to prove that his success was no fluke. Will Tokido be able to exact revenge on his young rival or will MenaRD continue his surprising ascent in the world of esports?

Matchup #3: Blaz vs Sahara

An electrifying matchup from Capcom Cup 12 features the young talents Blaz and Sahara, who showcased their skills in a thrilling semifinal showdown. Sahara emerged victorious then, but with both athletes now seen as rising stars, fans are eager to see how this duel unfolds again.

Matchup #4: LeShar vs Kawano

Capturing the essence of the new generation, this final matchup features LeShar and Kawano, both of whom have achieved great heights in the international scene. Their previous encounter at the 2024 Street Fighter League saw Kawano narrowly win, giving LeShar a significant chance to avenge that defeat in this high-stakes rematch.
