Blaz Reveals He Underestimated Noah In SFL Americas Grand Finals

Street Fighter League Americas has a new champion in the 2Game team comprising Blaz, LUGABO, Shaka22, and Brayan_Job. The team took the title with a scintillating win over Bandits.

What was most incredible was the battle between Blaz and NoahTheProdigy, which gave us one of the best Street Fighter 6 sets of the year. With a sliver of life, Blaz was able to utilize perfect parry to perfection to get into Noah's face and defeat him to steal the round.

In an interview with IGN's Virginia Glaze, Blaz said he was surprised by Noah and had gone into the fight thinking he could take it with some ease:

“I came into the Noah match thinking it was going to be a little bit easy, but I was a little bit surprised by how Noah played," Blaz said. "He played a lot more focused on pressure, and it caught me off guard, but one of the things that you need to be able to do at these levels is to never surrender. So I did just that."

2Game's coach, Keoma, was also on hand to explain the strength of the Latin American FGC, saying that 2Game's victory should come as no surprise, as LATAM has world-class players who are only held back by a dearth of opportunities.

“We don’t have as many opportunities as anyone else, and that's why we’ve got to do whatever we can in any possible way to make sure we play at the highest level, no matter what,” Keoma said.

2Game's win now means they are qualified for the Street Fighter League World Championship, where they will take on Red Dune Esports and the winner of the ongoing Street Fighter League Japan.
