Kobayan Drops Out Of Combo Breaker Following 'Mistake'

One of the most exciting talents to come from the Japanese scene in the last year is the Zangief player, Kobayan, who shocked everyone when he won the Topanga Championship 5 over Kakeru with his menacing grappler playstyle. 

Unfortunately, the player who many might have been hoping to get a good look at during Combo Breaker will not be attending the event after a mysterious mistake regarding his entry into the United States. 

In a short statement on social media, his team, Answer M Gaming, gave a little insight saying, "In light of the possibility that the official purpose of Kobayan's immigration to the United States was not communicated, and considering the risk to his future activities as a player, Combo Breaker, We have decided not to participate in the event. We have also informed SS Kumamoto, the rental company, of this, and they have agreed."

"We are also making arrangements to have them return home as soon as possible. We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to his performance."

Kobayan himself also chimed in stating that he made a mistake and apologized to all those he had inconvenienced by his actions. "I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my immature behavior." He said

"I'm very sorry to everyone who has supported me."

This means that Cosa will be the sole representative for Saishunkan Sol Kumamoto, with Nemo staying behind in Japan following the birth of his child and Machabo also not traveling. 

It is hoped that whatever the situation, it doesn't affect Kobayan's career negatively.
