From Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7, 2026, the fighting game tournament, Blink Respawn 2026, took place in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
In the SF6 division, the one who stood at the top out of a massive pool of 316 competitors was none other than MenaRD (@_MenaRD__)!
Recently, MenaRD has been fully demonstrating his strength in the SF6 tournament and event scene, such as defeating Daigo Umehara in Evo LEGENDS LIVE - DAIGO vs MENARD (Evo LEGENDS LIVE - DAIGO vs MENARD)."
With the tournament taking place in his home country of the Dominican Republic, it might have added even more fuel to his strength.

MenaRD advanced to the Winners Finals without a single loss.
Although he suffered a temporary defeat in the Winners Finals against his opponent NoahTheProdigy (@NoahtheProdigy), he climbed back up through the Losers Finals and went on to win the championship with a 3-1 score.
He channeled the "MENA" chants echoing through the venue during the matches into his strength.

The CAPCOM Pro Tour 2026 also serves as a qualifying tournament for Capcom's official world championship, CAPCOM CUP 13 (CAPCOM CUP 13), and MenaRD has secured his spot in it.
You can watch the intense battles from the official "Capcom Fighters JP" YouTube stream archive.
Let's look forward to seeing more thrilling matches in future tournaments!
Dominican Republic Wins 🇩🇴
Thank you God.
