Before Brolynho’s Necalli existed, Brazil’s most successful fighting game player was arguably Keoma Pacheco. He exploded onto the world stage in the Street Fighter IV days with his impressive defeat of Haitani at CPT Brazil 2015.

Now playing Karin in Street Fighter V, the former Abel player has gained himself a sponsorship with Latin American esports organization Vertex.

Keoma is currently ranked #3 in Brazil for SFV on SRK Rankings, with the majority of his points coming from his 3rd place finish at the Fight in Rio 2017 event.
