Amjad Al-Shalabi, much better known as Angrybird, is the first Evo winner of Street Fighter 6 after winning a pulsating set against MenaRD in the 2023 final. Immediately after, he was in line to win the largest Street Fighter prize pool so far at the Gamers8 tournament, but lost in the final to Kakeru.
He discussed his win at the Evo Connections program and talked about how his life had changed and his mentality going into Evo 2024.
He said that his life hasn't really changed as he has barely given his win a thought. According to Angrybird, his mentality for this year's tournament is still the same as last year as he is hungry for even more victory.
