6. Latif
Justin Wong. Tokido. Daigo. Poongko.
Nobody was a bigger winner at Evo than Latif. Well, maybe Noah, but he's a special case. Latif left a trail of bodies like nobody else in recent memory.
It's pretty damn impressive considering how people doubted him as recently as even a few months ago. Latif was an online warrior, blowing up people but not being a guy seen on the level of a Wolfkrone or even a Flash Metroid. People doubted him like crazy.
And then he blew up four of the biggest names around. What can you say? It's too bad he couldn't finish the fight, but hey, you can do only do so much after going through murderer's row.
Latif didn't have one specific moment. Dizzying Tokido to beat him was good. Dizzying Daigo to send him home was huge too, but unfortunately Poongko got to him first so some of the luster was lost.
Still, nobody announced their arrival as a top tier player like Latif.
Here's my favourite Latif match -- an online one vs. Alex Valle. Check it out.
