Losers' bracket was a fascinating affair. Nemo emerged victorious, but it was a slugfest. When the two faced off, it was a battle of projectiles and set-ups with each side trying to evade the traps set by the other. ![]() Nemo had already defeated Mono, who can only look back on this tournament with pride. With the confidence from the win against Urien, Machabo sought to establish his dominance and was almost successful, but would eventually crumble as Nemo found a second wind and won the match. It also turned out to be a bad mistake, as Machabo won the second game. This was weird as his Gill had been doing so well. However, the Necalli user showed his tenacity winning one game with great confidence before Nemo made the head-scratching decision to switch to Urien. ![]() He did this in his match against Nemo, whose Gill was causing a problem for everyone, and who raced into a 2-game lead against Machabo. Throughout the tournament, Machabo showed great ability and desire to come back into matches in which he had been written off. This also only saw limited success, and Machabo was able to close it out. In the final game, Higuchi started to mix in jumping fireballs to his arsenal. This also had some limited success, and soon, both players had two games each. Higuchi then switched it up and attempted to go in and fight Machabo up close. It worked, but only to an extent, as Machabo was finding the spaces to punish Higuchi. Higuchi, making use of Guile was quick to establish his fireball game and try to frustrate Machabo into making rash decisions. We got off to a great start with Higuchi facing off against Machabo who had a very impressive tournament and was hoping to do even better than his last placement which was in the top 10. The Winners' bracket featured three riveting matches- Higuchi vs Machabo, Nemo vs Mono, and Machabo vs Nemo. Oil King, using both Rashid and Seth, looked unstoppable and is the deserved winner of the last major Street Fighter V tournament. He defeated Nemo, 3-0, on two occasions to win the ¥1,000,000 prize on offer for the winner. The Taiwanese player ran the gauntlet and went through a crazy losers' bracket run, to get to Grand Final, and then win the tournament in the most remarkable way possible. Evo Japan 2023 is now over, and in the world of Street Fighter V, there is only one name on everyone's lips- Oil King.
