2Game Beats Bandits to Win Street Fighter League Americas

Brazilian esports organization 2Game Esports have emerged as the winners of Street Fighter League Americas and have qualified for the Street Fighter League World Championship, which will be held in Japan in 2027.

2Game defeated defending champions Bandits 70-20 in a tightly contested Grand Finals that produced one of the most incredible individual sets between Blaz and NoahTheProdigy.

2Game started the day as the third seed, which meant they first had to play fourth-placed FlyQuest to advance to the semifinals. They made quick work of FlyQuest, winning 50-0. In the semifinals, they defeated Shopify Rebellion 50-30 to advance to the Grand Finals.

Blaz was in imperious form, winning every single game, including games against both Psycho of Bandits and Punk of Shopify Rebellion, who had both defeated him at points earlier in the season. Based on his performance, Blaz won the MVP award.

Congratulations were in order as the official 2Game X account celebrated the win, tweeting:

“IT'S OURS! WE'RE SFL AMERICAS CHAMPIONS! 🏆

“Four players, each from a different country, together representing Latin America. Today, we lift this trophy with immense pride in being part of FGC LATAM. @BrayanJob1, @DerekBlaz11, @shaka_0022, @LUGABO123, @Keoma89.

“You guys played amazing, boys. Thank you to everyone who cheered, celebrated, and believed in this team with us!”

The 2Game team really came together, with both LUGABO and Brayan_Job doing the business even in the regular season when Blaz was not at his effervescent best. Both Brayan_Job and LUGABO are already qualified for Capcom Cup 13 individually, and Blaz has also made it out of his World Warrior region. Shaka22 did not qualify for the individual competition but will now go with his team to the Ryogoku Kokugikan for SFL Worlds.

There, they will face Red Dune, the winners of SFL EMEAA, and the eventual winner of SFL Japan, which is still ongoing.

SFL Japan resumes this week with the seventh matchday. The playoffs for SFL Japan will take place between January 10 and 11, 2027.
