In the middle of June, it was revealed that r/StreetFighter would be sponsoring three individuals for a trip to EVO 2019. The internet had the opportunity to submit votes for BornFree, Brolylegs, Delzonfire, Goldenfate, JeSTeR PoWeR, KOGBilly, M.Lizard, Magnegro, Mahreen, Nogarremi, Srirachaflash, and TwistedRivera.

Ultimately, it was BornFree, JeSTeR PoWeR, and XO|Mahreen that ended up winning the trips to EVO 2019. However, they'll still need support from the fighting game community for these trips to be funded.

These three can be supported through either donations or by purchasing Matcherino X r/StreetFighter exclusive merchandise on the Matcherino website.

BornFree is mostly known in the fighting game community as being a content creator. When he's not doing hilarious skits that parody Capcom, he's working at major tournaments like EVO in order to conduct interviews with top players from a variety of fighters.

JeSTeR PoWeR is perhaps best known as the best Street Fighter 5 Vega player in London. Although Vega has not been particularly strong at any point in Street Fighter 5's meta, there's a good chance that JeSTeR PoWeR could make some upsets while competing at EVO 2019.

Mahreen managed a very exciting and emotionally-charged upset just over the weekend at CEO 2019 with her Laura. She ended up prevailing over Dogura's M. Bison and Urien in spectacular fashion.
