Capcom Cup Champion UMA Playing Street Fighter Again
He's back, but maybe not for long

UMA, also known as Wang Yuan-hao made headlines by becoming the first Capcom millionaire after winning Capcom Cup X and the one million dollars on offer. He then shocked the entire world by promptly retiring. This has made him something of a legend and he stayed true to his word not competing in any of the CPT premiers in his region or around the world. 

So, fans were excited when it was discovered that he is once again streaming Street Fighter 6 and will be playing it regularly, at least for a while. 

But, he isn't coming back as a player, but rather a mentor on the Taiwanese show loosely translated; 'Master and Disciple of Humans and Ghosts'. This is a Taiwanese show much like the Crazy Raccoon cup and Sajam Slam where a professional player is given control of a team of amateurs and he/she trains them to become stronger players. 

The show is now in its third season and has UMA as one of the mentors along with Yoro, ZJZ, and RB, all top players from the Taiwanese scene. 

There is so far no indication that UMA will return to compete on a professional level after this tournament as it seems he is only doing it in a mentor role and nothing more. 

The Taiwanese player charmed everyone with his seemingly fairy tale run to win the biggest prize in Street Fighter.
