 Mynus(IN) v. Blazeu25 (SO) 3/12/2016
“He plays the Sol-est Badguy!”

    The first time I saw this this motherfucker’s Sol, I lost it. With the East Coast Xrd scene being as stacked as it is with players like Lost Soul and MarlinPie, NY’s Blazeu25 is the hypest player in America that gets overlooked way too often. I ran into his fight against Jaruo (SO) on Next Level Battle Circuit one Wednesday night and to this day, I call it the most entertaining Sol mirror of Xrd. Shit was the epitome of nuts.

    That however, was forever ago and until this match gets a run back, I’m just going to have to fucking dream about the double Dragon Install throwdowns. What we are here to talk about today though is this man’s match against Mynus’ sick as fuck I-no on TSB.  No respect, only HAM. This was Mynus one option to beat the US’ Sol-est player, to act twice as crazy and go three times harder. Blazeu25, was just going to channel Daisuke himself and let shit rip! Lasting only a single game, these rounds should be engraved somewhere because this is the type of shit we live for. Comrades behind both players, the middle of a massive team tournament to send off TSB, and this fucking riot of a duel breaks out in an attempt to hold the dwindling lines on both sides of this civil war. Don’t even think either that anything in this is brainless button mashing. Blazeu25 and Mynus’ skill shines through in their effortless command of their characters mixed with reactions honed by countless matches to produce one of my favorite one off matches ever. Mynus’ movement is something that all I-no players should look at, it’s accurate and rarely faltering in it’s spacing. Do not try to play like Blaze though, you’ll just get your ass handed to you because it’s a signature level of abare on his part that can’t be replicated.

    As per usual no spoilers (kinda) so I’m not going to say shit about how this whole thing went down in the end because fuck ruining that. This match is hype though. Pure, uncut, NYC hype. tsbLimit
