Bochan reigns supreme at Thaigeruppercut
Over in Bangkok, Thailand at Rangsit University, top players from around the Asia region came together for the annual Thaigeruppercut tournament. Featuring top players from the Land of Smiles, as well as seasoned veterans such as Xian, Gackt, Mago, Gamerbee, Eita and Humanbomb, a throwdown of epic proportions took place. Fittingly enough, it was Bonchan and his “King of Muay Thai” Sagat who defeated all challengers with ease, further cementing his place on the CPT leaderboards and spot at the Capcom Cup.
