Eduardo “PR Balrog” Pérez, a professional esports player, created a heartwarming moment at a Street Fighter 6 tournament in California, USA. Despite the challenge of having his baby son on his lap, PR Balrog fought his way to the finals through the winner’s bracket.
In the grand final, PR Balrog faced off against Miky “Samurai” Chea, who had advanced through the loser’s bracket. The match was a best-of-five set, and Samurai managed to reset the bracket, bringing the series to its final game.
