Nick Mosier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Ever since the <em>League of Legends<\/em> rivalry heated up, NA vs. EU has almost turned into a meme that\u2019s spread through all of eSports at this point. And now that wave has extended to the fighting game scene, where what started as some trash talk might lead to a <em><strong>Street Fighter V<\/strong> (SFV) <\/em>grudge match that even has the attention of Capcom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What started this recent uproar was a tweet from Punk who is regarded as the strongest <em>Street Fighter V <\/em>player in North America. Punk tweeted, \u201cEU has to be the only scene in the FGC when they win they just start talking a lot about being the best,\u201d and followed up the provocative tweet with, \u201cIf EU is so nice the community can pick one player fundraise 10k I\u2019ll put up my own 10k and I\u2019ll gladly go to EU and collect my paycheck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Lol FGC is hilarious EU has to be the only scene in the FGC when they win they just start talking a lot about being the best but in reality it\u2019s not true and no one GIVES A FUCK pls STFU.<\/p>&mdash; Punk (@PunkDaGod) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PunkDaGod\/status\/1460790362528784384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hurricane, a <em>SFV<\/em> player from the United Kingdom responded by saying it wasn\u2019t about any individual player, but the strength of the regional scene as a whole.

And with this exchange, the <em>SFV<\/em> scenes in NA and EU were totally swept up in conversation about which region reigns supreme. The idea eventually came about for a 10 vs 10 round robin to determine which region really is the strongest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Don&#39;t make any confusion, you can be the best in the World but a community is stronger than yours and that&#39;s what is said, nothing personal.<br>Now if you want to make it spicy, you can also send ANY other American player except you to face me for 10k, we can do this. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zLUKYkCJB5\">https:\/\/t.co\/zLUKYkCJB5<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Claude\ud83c\udf2a\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 (@Hurricane_FGC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Hurricane_FGC\/status\/1460913725163155457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the debate raged on, Punk showed no signs of stopping the trash talk and said, \u201cI am backing my COUNTRY 10V10 We wash EU not just EU we wash Japan also any region USA is for sure the best Region.\u201d Punk then began putting together a list of who they would select in what looked like the beginnings of organizing the grudge match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Hurricane and the European side showed no signs of backing down.

Other North Americans like SonicFox, a <em>Dragon Ball FighterZ <\/em>player, and Leffen, a <em>Super Smash Bros. Melee<\/em> player, are also known for being highly skilled and getting the scene fired up with their tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, &nbsp;these kinds of proclamations can get criticized for behavior not befitting of a pro, but that isn\u2019t the case overseas. &nbsp;Being able to turn these kinds of brush ups into potential events shows a difference between the community in Asia and in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps it\u2019s an example of the fighting game community, which has had its share of verbal disputes and unsanctioned skirmishes, moving toward settling things directly. Either way, we sure hope to see a regional matchup between North America and Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punk&#8217;s remark heats up the Street Fighter V regional rivalry between North America and Europe that even has the attention of Capcom.
