The most feared underdog in Street Fighter is taking down legends | Trash Talk #5

Dual Kevin has in recent months established himself as one of the strongest and most consistent Street Fighter 6 players on the planet. After touring the world in attempt to qualify for the Esports World Cup, he succeed at the very end at the Last Chance Qualifier, defeating world class competitors in a historic, but un-documented losers bracket run. While he made his mark with a strong 13th place finish and eliminating the EVO Japan champion and favorite to win MenaRD, Dual Kevin would continue his momentum by securing 3 consecutive top 3 finishes in the following CPT premiers. But before his ascension to this level of world class play in Street Fighter, Dual Kevin was a college student working at McDonalds in Indiana, with dreams of being the best Marvel vs. Capcom 3 player on the planet. With a main stage EVO top 8 finish under his belt, he switched his focus to competing in Street Fighter, eventually quitting both school and his job to go all in on becoming the best player in the world. On this episode of Trash Talk, I sit down with Dual Kevin and discuss this journey, the training techniques he leveraged to ascend to the next level, and the harsh reality of how the Capcom Pro Tour in 2024 does not reward consistency. Please enjoy.
