Goliath Gaming’s JabhiM from Alexandra is now a three-time Red Bull Hit The Streets champion and will be heading to the Red Bull Kumite for the second time to take part in the Last Chance Qualifier in Las Vegas, US.
Hosted by Sandile GQ Ntshingila at Bravado HQ, the seven best Street Fighter V and Tekken gamers across South Africa went head-to-head for the ultimate prize.
“The final with Billy D was intense and a close one. To be the three-time champion for Red Bull Hit the Streets is a dream come true. “The training will be more intense leading up to Red Bull Kumite in December.” said JabhiM, commenting on his third win in a row.
Another gamer, Dax from Northcliff, won the Tekken 7 final against 2020 champion and Bravado Gaming’s Iggy in a tightly contested match. He too will be heading for the US together with JabhiM.”This was the first time I entered Red Bull Hit The Streets and am ecstatic to have won the tournament.
“It was great to play the final against my rival Iggy, who I have played many times before in other tournaments. Now it’s all about preparing to take my game to the next level when I represent South Africa at the Last Chance Qualifier at Red Bull Kumite in December,” Dax said.
After heated battles between Mzansi’s top fighting game players, JabhiM and Dax knocked out all their opponents and walked away as the 2021 Red Bull Hit the Streets champions for Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 respectively.
The qualifiers kicked off online on September 5 and concluded with the third and final qualifier on September 26. The grand final was streamed live on Red Bull’s Twitch and Red Bull Gaming’s YouTube page, where gamers across the world tuned in to catch the action live.
