Fighting game tournaments are ground zero for trash talk and sometimes, emotions can get the best out of competitors. Such was the case with Victor “Punk” Woodley and Gustavo “801 Strider” Romero during Week 8 of the Street Fighter League Pro-US circuit.<\/p>\n

The SF League<\/a>, a team-based competition that sees three pro players join forces to take on the best opponents in their region, has high stakes, as the two best-performing teams from North America will compete against the best two squads from Japan in the Street Fighter League World Championship event, which boasts a $150,000 prize pool.<\/p>\n

With everyone trying to secure as many wins as they can during the lengthy circuit that runs for 16 weeks, Alpha 3 and Team All-In faced against one another in a hyped-up match, as the two sides are seen as favourites to earn themselves a spot for the World Championship.<\/p>\n

All In’s roster includes current Capcom Cup title-holder<\/a>, Derek “iDom” Ruffin, who faced Punk during Week 8, in a match that marked their first runback in a major event since Capcom Cup Grand Finals in 2019.<\/p>\n
