Historic Win in Street Fighter 6 Finals at EVO 2024Victor Punk Woodley Triumphs

The finals were a gripping contest between Woodley and Anouche, who had come through the loser’s bracket. Anouche managed to reset the bracket by defeating Woodley 3-0, leading to a second best-of-five match. The final match was fiercely contested, with both players tied at two set wins each and 1-1 in the final game. Woodley's decisive super move with Cammy clinched the championship, ending the long wait for an American victory in this category.

Woodley's E-Tournament Journey

In subsequent years, Woodley continued to perform strongly, winning various major tournaments, though the titles at EVO and Capcom Cup eluded him. Last year, he achieved a commendable third place at EVO 2023, narrowly losing to Amjad "AngryBird" Al-Shalabi and Saul Leonardo "MenaRD" Mena II. At EVO 2024, Woodley once again reached the grand finals, this time against Adel "Big Bird" Anouche. The match is already being hailed as one of the greatest in EVO history, with Woodley finally securing the elusive championship.
