Ryu Main Paladin Signed By ROK Esports Center

Maximillian Paladino, better known as his gamertag, "Paladin"  has announced that he has been signed to an organization. 

The young Ryu main who really came on the scene at the beginning of Street Fighter 6 and captured the imagination of fans by sticking with the tried and trusted Ryu, has been showing great consistency in tournaments. His most memorable performance remains his 4th place finish at the CPT North America East qualifier where he defeated Punk 3-0 to really cement himself as one of the top players in the region. 

He has joined ROK Esports Center, an organization from Florida as their representative for Street Fighter 6. 

Paladin is currently at CEO 2024 and will be competing in the tournament. 

His signing is interesting as he is yet to qualify for the Esports World Cup, which means that his new sponsors don't seem to care if he makes it there or not. This is heartening as most players seem to have been snapped up with the tournament in mind. 

Paladin will try to qualify for the Esports World Cup as the top 2 at CEO are both qualified for the tournament.
