Going into Evo 2022, Idom was North America’s greatest hope. The player with the best chance of breaking his region’s fourteen year curse.
But disaster struck almost immediately.
Facing down the most difficult bracket in Street Fighter history, Idom only had one chance left. One path to prove to the world what he was capable of.
Beating everyone.

not that I care too much, but it seems weird that YT would be ok with a sponsor that's designed to suppress their ads?
It has to be better tournament regulations for Hypeman who are screaming during you know the game play of these competitors I noticed during Reinhart Reinhart playing his height man was screaming all over and over again pretty annoyingly and very unnecessarily they have to have better tournament regulations for kind of stuff like this it’s really not fair to the people who are really trying to concentrate and when these tournaments
@@r1konTheAutomator Streetfighters the kind of game that in a split second you could literally win or lose around or match and someone screaming like that is very unnecessary you know that’s very unfair to the people who want to know who are playing to win in practice all year long to try to win first place and you don’t players like this who have hate men like this should be banned from playing all together
@@r1konTheAutomator Hopefully they also add tournament rules for players picking a similar carrot color a similar color to the background that they’re playing on which I also feel so unfair advantage for fighting games hopefully they even program it into the game to ban a character from picking a certain color that blends in with the background too good and automatically switches to another color
@@cubeuhhgaming5034 ...what's going on here? I just said something about the sponsor, I'm not sure if you're replying to the right person 🤣
iDom was so close to the greatest SFV run of all time... the Capcom Cup run is going to be incredible

SAJAM NO WAY!
yoo is that jiyuna?

If he won evo man it would've been crazy. Heartbreak indeed but he still the best
The Mandalay Bay would have exploded
He'll be back and he will be champion
Nothing compared to Gamerbee's USF4 run in 2015 the level of heartbreak there
IKR?!?! I was jumping and screaming at the scream that whole match against Kawano! He did well, enough for the Japanese to consider him the worthiest threat out of ANYONE outside of Japan!
@@garytucker3563 It's funny too. I always respected Idom, but I was never a huge fan. I don't even like Street Fighter V as much as some other Street Fighter games. Nonetheless... I have never gotten so worked up over a street fighter run in my life. Idom's a legend now. Much respect to that man 🙏
The crazy thing is that Idom had never beaten Daigo before Evo. That's always one of the most amazing things in fighting games for me--a player finally overcoming someone who they have ALWAYS lost to in the past.
Not to downplay Idom but Daigo wasnt even training for Evo and went last minute due to hitbox sponsorship. They had a hype set but im curious how it goes with if Daigo was training for Evo
@@exiaR2x78 stop. Daigo still made top 8 in a STACKED bracket lmao.
@ItzTymeToDul ircc there was only 3 world class players that didnt make top 8. The bracket was any where near as stacked as 2019
nice seein' you here, Dorka.
The extra crazy thing is that all it took was 1 piece of advice from Punk. In Idom's analysis video about this run, he talks about how he asked Punk what to do against Daigo and Punk said Daigo a really stubborn player. So, Idom was able to identify that Daigo would always throw a Sonic Boom after blocking Laura's cr. MK and he was able to get some major punishes off of it.
Idom is probably the most impressive US SF player in years, that gauntlet losers boss run in 2022 he had to go through was no joke. Most players wouldn't have beaten all of them like that, playing there absolute hardest in losers! Kawano or Idom could have won EVO, Kawano just won the round that mattered unfortunately. Both amazing players none the less! 🙌
Nuckledu, Punk and iDom really breathed some hope for NA street fighter scene.
I'm glad ppl can recognize Knuckledu still, man has been around since before 2010. Was just a literal child then, 13 when I first saw him bodying pro players. I remember how hype he was, how hype it was. No one could believe a kid that young was that talented.
I've seen lots of kids be good at SF, end up good enough to play against the pros, but they all always fizzled out and never got past mid level, or they just stopped to pursue other things but Knuckledu has an accolade hardly anyone can claim, a true child prodigy, he never fizzled out he only got better and better. He won the first ever SF5 Capcom Cup during a time the game had tons of cheap and broken stuff to deal with and tons of goats competing. Things have gone sideways for him more than once, and unfortunately as a result he hasn't been able to keep up with the game and the tourney circuit. But seeing him back, brings a lot of joy. And I'm glad SFL gave him a chance despite him having not been active much as of the past few yrs. Kid is seriously slept on right now despite all the praise and recognition he gets for his past.
Idom is my favorite player and imo the best player SF5 NA player for almost the entirety of its run. And in terms of just SF in general since 4, one of the only few NA players to reach the level of Japan and the rest of Asia.
And Punk, well he's good, its hard to give him credit because of his attitude and mentality outside of the game, hes definitely up there but imo no Idom. His biggest problem is that he gets in his own way, which is another reason I find it hard to recognize him as I feel a big part of a being a goat player is the ability to assess your own abilities and faults, while also being able to recognize the talent of others, which with him underestimating ppl has bit him in the butt more than once. I'm always rooting tho for him to get past the chip he has and realize his full potential.
3 Kings of the US.... So happy Du returned
Its terrifying to think of what Nuckledu's results spread wouldve looked like if he didnt take the iatus he did. Man has been back for a handful of months and he's already looking like he never left
@@Clickstop24 I know right, he just needs to get the matchups sorted and hes all good, truly naturally skilled.
@@Hollowdarling punk washes IDom though
I don't play fighting games, but I was glued to my screen throughout this. WOW, how friggin amazing are these stories of pro players going up against seemingly insurmountable odds and showing out.
It's the score eSports script bro everyone knew idom would smoke everyone. Still a godlike run
Go back into their library they have a 2 part “best evo moments” if you were glued to this you’ll be pissing yourself from excitement watching that
This run was beautiful. I was engaged to the tournament like none I've ever witnessed. Magical. If IDom would have won, that would have easily been top 3 Evo moments of all time. Tears came from my eyes when he came up short.
This man the epitome of humility. He was so down to earth while being asked to describe his thoughts during his run at this years EVO yet still came out on top. What a geekga chad.
Idom's Evo run was one of the most exciting competitive events I've witnessed period. Inarguably one of the best to ever do it in SFV and mad excited to watch him in Capcom Cup for SFV's send-off
I'm glad to see even through the NA rivalries and trashtalk they had over the years, Its great to see punk and idom are friends behind the scenes and willing to give advices to one another to not only help them with their matches but also increasing NA chances as a whole.
This guys super power is how calm he is under severe pressure
10:14 I don't even watch street fighter or play it and I still said out loud "he goes for that?!"
Great video. Appreciate going back to this run and tournament season. IDOM really is a one of a kind talent. He is playing a lower tier character and absolutely unstoppable. Really something to behold .
The Kawhi Leonard of Street Fighter
Deadass.
his run in the EVO finals was so exciting.
Didn't realize how much I missed evo events after watching this year. Almost everygame was really entertaining and brought the magic of EVO back.
I remember watching this SF EVO 2022 tournament and Idom's run produced some of the most hype and best sets ever to be seen in a top 8. Every match was a boss battle where Idom would come out victorious. And the final in itself was the battle of the two God slayers.
That was the best SFV Finals at Evo.
I agree. Definitely cool to see different characters in GF
I watched iDom’s path in the bracket on Max’s stream. It was truly an insane run and he was so close to pulling it off. He instantly made a fan out of me and NA street fighter lives on.
I waited a day to watch this so I could settle in with good food, a good seat, and get ready to cry my eyes out at another awesome FGC story. Thank you so much theScore!
iDom’s Laura will always be impressive to watch. I love how aggressive he plays her.
I have so much respect for this guy! iDom will go in history among the greatest of them all right at the very top! Super hype video, EVO 2022 was amazing!
It really felt like 2022 was a great year for Esports. I'm sure a lot of players really missed the events that were very muted in 2020 and still kind of muted through 2021. EVO SFV was great, LCK was amazing all of the year, and the LoL Worlds tournament was legendary.
Even though he lost, I believe this to be the best run I've ever seen in tournament. Doing it from losers, against the level competition, just absolutely insane.
IDom the goat
Not many people make it to grand finals but that run was truly nuts. It'll be amazing to see what he does in the future.
That 15:15 hurts everytime i see it.. but iDom EVO 2022 run is what made iDom become a legend in the FGC, he was already acknowledged as the best SFV player in the world but that top 8 run was magical and it was alway be known that when SFV ended when every top player in SFV was playing at the top of their ability iDom was the no.1 best player in the world
His run was MAGICAL. I could feel the energy every time he won a series.
That evo was hype as hell. Made me fall in love with fighting games, or at least watching them
Idom’s Evo run had me the most emotionally invested I’ve ever been in a sporting event. I FELT the cheers for USA and Idom that day.
The ending of that tournament still makes me emotional. I was riding a wave of the highest emotions during that losers run.
that entire set is still one of the best sets of sfv ive ever seen
Esports for fighting games is a fire that won't stop burning. Some of the biggest games in the world have come and gone but fighting games is STILL going strong. Keep on fighting everyone.
iDom could NOT get out of that chair. Man did I feel for him
Idom is indeed a phenomen, prolific SF player of N.A. He fought trough the most strongest Japan players in the world, beat them one after another and lose only to the very, very best among them in the last game, of the last round, in their last possible clash. Which shows, that even if he is not ultimately win that tournament, he was and is on the level of Kawano, they're are equals and it's just happen, that one of them was a little better then other, at that time. What an incredible fighting spirit and skill expression and at the end, event that he made possible. Respect for that experience, Idom.
The amount of respect for both finalist for each other is unbelievable. Thank you for making this video to show there’s hope in humanity ❤
Ivan Domination. He's the reason why i picked up Laura after his capcom cup win
"I know, I was there" Lol what a cool dude. I picked up Laura cause he makes her look amazing
about time idom gets noticed!
Daaamn, that final round was anyone's game
2:59 looked like it kinda hurt 😅
legendary run.... only if that anti air worked, the world would be at peace
Wow that was almost a Hollywood movie moment. Idom is legendary.
“Godslayer? Huh. I think I can live with that.”
It hurts so much since he was so close. One combo from winning.
i get chills rewatching this. The hype still lingers.
Street fighter is such a awesome game and cool video man :]
IDOM may have not won evo 2022, but I think he played harder than anyone else there
Bro seriously waited until he run out of V Sauce to move in. I'm still proud of iDom tho it was truly heartbreaking but I bet ol boy and Japan was sweating they ass off
Glad to see this got a sequel
Daigo is just built different... But idom is still a GOAT
I really love the content!! While we are in the space of fighting games, can you guys maybe make a documentary of the Dragonball Fighterz Pro Wawa? He is a french canadian who just wins everything currently
The sportsmanship
“miss her? she does not miss you” LMFAOO
It's the dawn of a new SF! We get to see new legends rise this year! I'm so excited!
U will see "nobody" rise this year. Sf5 pros aren't real pros except for sf4 pros
Gut wrenching, the best player finished second. Idom is an absolute legend! 😢😣😤😳
IDom evo run almost gave me a heart attack. He still is my favorite player.
I watched this live its the first evo I've ever watched live
The biggest takeaway for me was how exposed the double-elimination format became from this. In a run-of-the-mill tournament, by all means, use double-elimination. But not for something as big as EVO or Capcom Cup. There's a reason why Japan tends to consider only Topanga to be legit-it's because Topanga uses round robin, a format that ensures you never have a dubious situation like iDom winning 5 matches vs. Kawano's 3, yet still ending up the loser. The only person at EVO to win more rounds against iDom... was Ryan Hart, in a FT2. I think the FGC audience deserves having actual player vs. player skill settled more concretely than that.
lol love liz eye rolling her way through the ad read about how ad reads are bad. Love you Liz never change!
Fighting game tournaments are one of the few places u could say u won 8th place and still get tons of praise
It honestly made me tear up... iDom the real winner
Missed moment with the Kumite sound fx 😅😅
Idom dominating top players with mid-tier characters no less. Hes doing it again in SF6 with Manon.
Naw i remember seeing EVO 2022 grand finals. That weird wrong direction inputs (from the game, not the player) probably cost him the win. I saw that and my heart sank. Man i hated it so much
I unistalled Street Fighter V several months ago but whenever I see these guys clashing, my heart starts racing! It is amazing!
Should've never bought the game
As a Laura main I knew Idom was slept on for so long. Especially when he started giving Punk problems early in his prime. Salute to a prediction came true
Man. iDom was so unstoppable that the game had to cheat to make sure he lost. That's crazy.
I remember this. Such a heartbreak! But it was a very suitable last SFV tourney at Evo, as epic as it should.
Ryan Hart!!! That set was so hype wish it was on stream. Idom had such a good run but ircc Daigo said he wasnt even planning on going to go to Evo and it was really last minute. Im curious how there game goes if Daigo was training for Evo was such a hype set.
I was rooting against Idom even though I like him I just find it funny af that USA hasnt won a main game SF at Evo for so long just wanted that streak to keep going. Probably my 2nd favorite losers run after gamerbees in 2015 just because I was personally more invested in Gamerbee after 6 years of rooting for him
Just imagine when this goes mainstream and corporations gets involved 😳 then it we will be the greatest comeback of all time
Mindboggling Laura tech on this man.
Fgc has some of the greatest gaming moments but gets the least amount of notice, super underrated genre then brings so much hype
Thanks for making fgc content
I'm using Opera GX with adblock turned on and I got ad before video start xD
To be honest I’ve watched the FGC since late 2013 before that I watched competitive fighting anywhere I could. I’ve seen a lot of runs in tournaments and I can say one thing, this IS one of the hardest runs I’ve ever seen Tokido, Diago, and I think I saw him going up against Nobie.
Having to deal with those 3 is borderline impossible, I would say that Tokidos losers run where he beat punk in the finals or Rangchu running Evo Japan with Panda both are insane
I remember that while he was on his run, I kept thinking that each round would be his last. I was like, "no way we get further than this right?" But damn, our boy made NA proud.
Damn iDom is like kratos lmao
Got to know him when he beat Punk in 2019
not the “blend w” i was looking for but ill take it
You’ve got a great presenter voice. Good video
Man idk anything about this game but I thought I was going to see a champ not a second place lol
The mademoiselle narrating this is really attractive!!!
Side note Capcom should pay LI Joe whatever he wants to just MC every event all year, that man was born to do it
i was hella tired and had to get up ewarly for work, but as soon as iDom vs Crimson match started heating up, i stayed up for the rest of the event... Dom was a freakin mosnter, hurts me that he was an inch close to beating Kawano, it was literally a coin toss, that 2nd place felt like a first imo.
This reminds me of Lil Majin almost with King in Tekken 7 back in 2018.
The start of the last round I was sure Idom would win, it was a strong start, but all of a sudden Kawano switched up his gameplay and started throwing out a lot feints, making Idom whiff, he wasnt even punishing then he would just make him whiff then back up, I think that got in his head cause the last whiff was soooo bad, Kawano was just too good that day
More FGC content! 🔥
"hur dur, laura broken!" the only laura winning something in the world.
Don't know why it really matters if something is on the main stage or not. SnakeEye's 2010 SSF2 Turbo EVO title should count as a notch for U.S. Street Fighter titles overall.
No shoutout to Ryan Hart? A true FGC community legend, in multiple games!
Liz having a whiteboard in the background reminds me of the doodle board in Joey and Chandler's apartment. Can we get more memes on those?
Idom in two words: relentlessly good
Was a great run, but I still think Tokido's run in 2017 was the best for SF5 at Evo. Still, crazy to think america has never won a SF Evo title, not at least since it was re-branded from "battle by the bay" in 2002. Even europe has two SF Evo's in the modern era. SF6 will probably be america's time though.
You see, people think the floor cleaner in the bottom left is for the floor. Actually, she had to drink all of it, to be so blind to think NA>EU.
One day escore esports will create a story about me. I’m entering this year hopefully I am not trash lol
He is Manon in this one so it's pretty much game over for him
FGC is the oldest esport and I still can't belive EVO is our only big championship.
His run was 10 times better than Punks
HUGE IDOM FAN AFTER THAT CRAZY COMEBACK
