- Alan “Nephew” Sun wins THE MIXUP 2025 and qualifies for the Esports World Cup 2025.
- Most of his tournament sets in the top 8 of the tournament reached the very last game.
- Street Fighter 6’s next major tournament is Blink Respawn 2025.
Alan “Nephew” Sun has won the Street Fighter 6 bracket at The MIXUP 2025, a tournament held from July 5, 2025, to July 6, 2025, in Lyon, France. It’s part of the Road to Esports World Cup (EWC), which is a set of tournaments that hand out qualifications to the aforementioned World Cup.
While Nephew dominated the grand final match against Benjamin “Problem X” Simon with a 3-0, his path towards it wasn’t as clean. Most of his matches have gone to the last possible game, resulting in 3-2 records long before his top 8 matches. However, he has overcome everything in his path to qualify for the EWC.
His grand final opponent, Problem X, is one of Europe’s most accomplished Street Fighter players. He has won EVO 2018 for Street Fighter 5, and is also present in last year’s EWC.
Claude Eric “Hurricane” Diboti had a great run in this tournament. He’s a 33-year-old Cammy main from the United Kingdom. He does not travel that much to other countries, but he’s a very solid player. He’s gotten strong wins from players such as Yeh “HotDog29” Man-ho and Hikaru “Hikaru” Nakatani.
The next major Street Fighter 6 tournament that’s a member of the Road to EWC is Blink Respawn 2025, an event happening in the Dominican Republic. This tournament is also a member of the Capcom Pro Tour, which means that the winner will be immediately qualified for the Capcom Cup 12.
