For the uninformed, EVOlution is the world's largest fighting game tournament held in Las Vegas every year around July-August. Competitors from Japan, China, Korea, Europe, the Caribbean, and other places fly in to test their skills and compete for thousands of dollars. The games this year included Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Blazblue: Continuum Shift, Tekken 6, and...I can't remember the other one.
The point is, Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition is considered by many the "main event". In other words, it's the most watched game at the tournament and the ones with the most participants (thousands competing).
Daigo Umehara, one of the most internationally renowned Street Fighter players, goes up against Poongko (a Korean) in a match to determine who will go on to losers' bracket. The first one to win 2 matches wins the set and continues through winners' bracket.
In what it is probably the biggest upset at this year's EVO, Daigo is destroyed in embarrassing fashion. Great video with crowd reaction...
Poongko is the one in white showboating for the crowd and Daigo is the one sitting in the chair. Daigo uses Yun and Poongko uses Seth.
Daigo would go on to place 4th place while Poongko placed in 3rd place.
