The Unknown, Unsponsored Underdog Who Slayed His Demon To Win It All

- iDom wasn’t anyone’s pick for Capcom Cup 2019. He had an insane bracket, he played two mid-tier characters, and the one player he hadn’t beaten all year was one of the tournament favourites.
It basically seemed impossible for iDom to push past the first few rounds, let alone win the entire tournament.
But to really understand why iDom’s run was so incredible though, you have to know who iDom is and where he came from.

Dude legends say Idom is still waiting for that handshake
Kind of pissed me off how punk only shook hands when he won
@@ThatOneFlyYouCantKill yea me too
@@ThatOneFlyYouCantKill He's on some real PUNK shit.. Just take the L and respect it.
At least he couldn't rage quit 🤷😂
ＤＵＵＵＤＥ
Watching this live was actually pretty damn awesome.
Seeing his mate come running on when Idom won, just the two of them bouncing around celebrating after overcoming all the odds. Awesome stuff.
No sponsor, no proper backing, no high-end strats.
God bless him.
And i don’t even watch FGC.
+Respect.
What do you mean by high end strats?
Using meta’s or popular/powerful characters.
sometimes not using a top tier character can be an advantage. Since most players were ready for Karin and Rashid they didnt have much Season 4 Laura match up knowledge
@@felixfox3968 He doesn't "watch FGC" and probably needed three.
@@copperdragon9214 how is playing a popular character "high end strats"?^^ joking aside, you have to go full frame data even for online at a certain skill level, plus it's just you, not a team. so it's always high end strats.
on his stream a couple of days ago, he broke his personal, and steet fighter 5's online ranked win streak. dude hit like 120+ ranked games in a row. shit was crazy
Lmfaoo man... how do I even compete these days 🤣
Isn't Idom currently ranked #10 overall online?
Wow. And in tekken there is chikurin. He goes like ~300. These people are crazy. Lmao. Chikurin also won the 2019 tekken world tour.
Not detracting from how insane that it is but sfv’s best streak ever was via tool assisted when it was playing guile under the name rzr_infiltration, and no one knows how long the streak actually was because the system stops counting at 999, it was on an episode of excellent adventures of gootecks and mike ross back in the day
@@Venom272X This bot cheated his winstreak. I'm not talking about the input reads but rather the fact that his winstreak kept going even after the bot was defeated. There are many videos on youtube where the bot loses on a streak like 200, comes back after a couple sets and still has the same streak. So no, this bot doesn't hold any winstreak record.
All I want is FGC content, always the best storylines
Agreed, though I hate that the FGC developers are shit at supporting the tourneys (yes we are looking at you Nintendo).
@@lucasalcaraz2199 capcom and namco do support I believe arcsys too
@@lucasalcaraz2199 Just Nintendo.

He is so humble. Good for him, he seem like a very thoughtfull dude.
I always like these underdog stories of people making mid-low tier characters work.
He's also the only one to ever make it with a mid-low tier in SFV Capcom Cup. Du had that broken season 1 Mika and Guile. Mena had Birdie when he was easily top 5. Gachikun played no other than effin Rashid. It was a top tiers only club until 2019.
Its funny. Laura got a huge buff in season 2 and everyone was afraid of her yet Idom was one of the few really making her work. One part of her design that never got nerfed was her ability to rob matches and die to characters/players who know how to keep her out consistently. That is one part of Idom's game that got better along the years is learning to fight that match up. In comparison to other Laura's he never over extends so he is always in good position to make a make that play. He even worked on his mental focus in crucial moments. It is what got him top 8s in big events in 2019.
@@t4d0W his reads are also amazing! Dude catches so many jump backs with that badass looking anti-air heavy elbow it's crazy.
Also also, he's got some really sharp fundamentals and can play neutral miraculously even with Laura's stubby normals. He even uses light elbow to whiff punish sometimes (!). It's beautiful watch him go toe to toe with characters that clearly got the upper hand against Laura on neutral like Cammy, Karin and Ibuki and it feels so satisfying when he manages to get in and put them in the blender.
Man, I must confess I'm becoming kind of a Idom stan. lol
Dude deserves it for real.
Laura and Poison are actually pretty good, despite what people thought about them. Two underutilized, and full potential unrealized characters whic iDom broke virtual noses with :)
Sometimes mid or lower tier characters are effective on tournament because top players busy studying against top tier characters match up.
“I liked her huge... damage”
That's a lotta damage
It’s enough to stun quickly🤩
IDOM is like one of the coolest pro gamers out there. He didn't just beat the best SFV player, he outright DESTROYED him. Hoping to see a lot more from him. He is a true legend.
He wants to finish school. That's a great man right there.
aye bruh you pay all that money for that shit ur gonna wanna finish it
@@redghost8500 Exactly hahaha
oh come on just look at poison and laura we all know *exactly* why he plays them
Because of great, meaty, huge normals
*Great Pastrami*
I really like their plots
Dem Yams
@@MASrose8 oh they’re *meaty* alright
I was expecting you put the clip from FGC translated when Bonchan reiterates a conversation between Punk and Idom after the Capcom Cup bracket was revealed
when Punk saw Idom’s first opponent was Fujimura, he immediately said “you’re done”
Can you find the clip?
I also wanna see

skip to 1:05 if you want to watch what I’m talking about
I'm so happy for iDom, I clapped and cheered when I saw him start celebrating. So happy he achieved something that so many of us gamers wish we could do. He did it! People close to us can be unsupportive of our dreams as gamers, and I felt like that there was a great satisfaction because he won despite the lack of support (or worse). I watched his celebration several times. You did it, brother!
I was late for my office christmas party because I wanted to see the outcome of the punk/idom match. Such a great CAPCOM cup finale!
Idom was the first guy to show Laura was a threat. I have been a fan of him since season 1. Was so happy seeing him win CC
@Lauren Mcdaniel yea i didnt like wolfkrone, still dont dude has a lot of drama around him
Facts. I love laura
I have no idea about who idom is. After I finish this video I will probably be a fan of his. These are the kinds of videos I love from you guys.
Humble beginings. Always a great start for a story to greatness. A wonderful underdog story. Idom earned this.
I remember watching Idom in NLBC years ago playing against smug. Personally this is one of my favorite stories
Chris team idom is known fairly well in the East Coast
Agreed. We knew about Ivan Domination for a long time. Heck, I still remember when JB first showed up at nl.
@@LuciJr1 I'm Australian and I've heard of the guy. Maybe he's "unknown" to randoms? Most likely a click bait title
such great dude, he let everything flow and let life takes him everywhere. living it moment by moment, i got massive respect for a man like him.
Dude these Fighting Game Story Videos of yours are the best! :)
I don't like fighting games, but this channel made me a fan. I still don't like playing since I am shit at it, but I like watching streams now. Thanks guys!
thank you for giving the fighting game community some exposure, it doesn't get much love and sponsored look the other way but maybe one day that will change.
mickael remy your first point makes sense even if i don’t agree with it 100% but your second point is not based in reality. fighting games are just like any other games, some have great art direction and some have horrible art direction. if you think DBFZ or for an older game, MvC2 are bad looking games then i don’t know what to tell you besides most people disagree with you.
This story about Idom is so touching. My eyes have tears right now. Your narration delivered it powerfully! Thank you.
Man this hits so different after the 2022 evo top 8
Punk with the 2nd place curse. EVO 2017 & Capcom Cup 2019. Damn.
He won a capcom cup, so not that bad. But feel like EVO still puts a few nightmares on his nights.
@@ljdoff Except Punk didn't win Capcom Cup yet though. From 2016 to 2019 it goes: Du, MenaRD, Gachikun and now our boy Idom.
I guess Punk kinda has a mental block since he has shown to crack under pressure when he loses momentum. Happened in Evo and happened here. Lost momentum and advantage and lost. Still a great player tho
He's like Knee for Tekken World Tour
D Santiago Except Knee has actually won Evo.
PLEASE KEEP THESE COMING!!!! love them
i watched this happened and at first i didnt believe it would go in idom's favor , ive started watching the fgc in the past 3 yrs and i always hear of punk dominating idom but that win really hit me with the feels seeing him breaking down that steel wall in front of him
so proud of this most humble dude in the FGC
Always respect the humble underdog.
I love fighting games and the FGC sooooo much. This is always the most hype content.
I remember this. I scared my dog when iDom won. It was so fun to watch.
This is so astounding to me, iDom is a legend, he’s a beacon for the future generation that any normal gamer playing online can rise up if you just commit, work hard and enjoy gaming
This need to be made into a movie.
i love idom and punk two of the greatest sfv players around , much respect!
I haven't played fighting games for years now and thanks to your fgc vids, I feel like seeing an old friend again(cheesy I know). Cheers to this channel!
Not huge into fighting games but Pretty cool see his reaction to winning something he loves, Respect brother!
I just gotta say. I'm so happy this channel exist for stories related to the fgc like this one. (I don't even care for sfv)
This tournament was so hype!
13:09 Yipes looking at the camera like "Reebok's Nike's!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I watched this live and even after watching this video I still can't believe Idom actually happened. Like, what?! He played out of his mind in every match, I was SCREAMING.
This might've been the hypest GFs I've ever seen. It was crazy. Congrats to iDom. Punk is incredible too, and I hope he wins the big one eventually.
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
i love that u guys cover the FGC
Great video! Thanks for putting this together. What a great FGC story!
Damn, I don't watch fighting tournaments enough.. The basement where all the underdogs are bouncing out! *edited after seeing the end of the piece.
I actually had iDom for my capcup pick, once he got to day 2 I was certain he'd win it. I play with a friend who mains laura, we were sitting in chat losing our minds watching him take it.
Also, i'd say it's kind of a downplay to say it didn't change his life at all.. 250k is a life changing amount of money xD. And shame on his family for not supporting him, that's shitty. He even sounds a bit salty about it (and he has a right to).
These are my favourite kind of vids people not playing the meta and the underdog stories
Punk wasn’t really playing the meta either, but I was rooting for the underdog too
This guy is so good he makes Mena look like a joke. No flame to Mena but iDom is a classic rags to riches story came out of nowhere, played so well and legit had no sponsors.
thats basically the same story as mena ... minus the second world struggle?
This kind of negativity serves no purpose other than to make yourself feel better about having an opinion. Mena is incredible, as is iDom. Stop giving people reasons to hate the FGC.
Like a joke? 😂😂
Good stuff IDOM you deserved it more then anybody there dude! So humble dude
2:58 HAHAHHAH #feelsbadman
Punk or Ponk whatever his name is, I didn't like how when idom finally won he refused to shake his hand but when he won he did. Like really man?
You look too much into it. He's probably still in his head, going throught everything he did wrong or could have done differently. It's not always about disrespect.
He DID shake his hand, you guys havent watched the actual set, you can even see punk smiling while talking to idom after the set, theres no disrespect especially if you ever watch punks stream or his appearances on excellent adventures hes a pretty chill guy
Wow. Actual esport content
2:58 man became a pillar of salt after a biblical beatdown
Lmao
Lmao
Lmao
this tournament was so fucking hype to watch. I loved it, the underdog story, the fighting all of it. truly great to watch live
Punk drops one combo and it all went downhill. How many times have we've seen that happen in the FGC. He could have CA.
Punk has to have the world record in choking
"Punk chokes on a mayor final "
Punk--its just another day
Anyone who knows about the "Floe Curse" will understand why Punk lost against Idom.
JReeces explain
@@LeoLarrosa1987 there's a guy in the FGC named Floe who used to play a lot but only streams now. He has a "curse" where if he pre-maturely says someone is gonna win and they end up choking and losing.
Floe sends out a tweet basically saying Punk's about to win with Cammy and we're gonna get a cammy costume. After that pre-mature tweet Idom starts to complete the comeback and eventually win. It's a fun thing to watch if you have the time. EDIT* looks like the VOD is gone :(
That’s why you should always support your friends and family. Never know what greatness someone will achieve always fun to watch it happen.
He was geeked at the end!
Glad we're seeing more Street Fighter content again. Loved to see you guys do one for Bonchan
Been waiting for this long while.
So happy watching him win CAPCOM CUP on Livestream.
Fun fact: I actually predicted him winning EVO 2019 right after watching his win at "Defend the North".
Someone claimed otherwise and said he wouldn't even make T-8.
He made T-8. (Close enough) 😂
But that CC win was the cherry on top for his amazing year against PUNK of all people.
In the NA scene for me,
PUNK, SMUG, IDOM & KNUCKLEDU are my 4 favorite players in no particular order.
Idom aka Ivan Domination, Loved watching him at nlbc, I was so happy when he won
I have never played this game but, that Laura and the way he plays her it is absolutly insane.. and that poison combo at the end.. jesus
love the content on this channel great stories and coverage keep it up
Saddest part is that the parents dont seem to care. Dude is a legend and they're clueless
I’m ever rich Im gonna fund a campaign to make video games more relatable to chess in the minds of elders
Iv been following idom sense season 1 im glad he got to shine
Idom is the definition of a self made man in esports
I dont play SFV or watch evo
But i think ill watch it if hes in
Watched it all live. I cried when Idom won. Always so close.
can't wait to become a legend, to get a nice highlight reel like this.
man, i dont even play this game and this video is so hyped and well-written. gj
Noone is gonna talk about how Kenny Omega was the announcer
I kinda was missing xavier woods
he’s more relevant in FGC than in wrestling nowadays somehow
@@AshGAM3BO1 true😂😂
Isn't that normal already? He's been hosting Tournaments for a while.
@@ChiriConCarne idk i have not been in the FGC since 2018
NLBC and NYC represent!!!
i didnt kinda know street fighter scene,but this channel make the story interesting
I dont think Punk is his demon, he basically is everyone's demon at that period of time.
Punk was. Both guys were young up and coming talented players in SFV within the northeast region (Idom for NYC and Punk in Philadelphia). Idom didn't get to travel much early on outside of regionals but when Punk was there in the same bracket, he handily beat him. Even in the TKONY SFV exhibition, Idom was the guy everyone in NYC was afraid of. But everyone else was afraid of Punk as he beat everyone else in such effortless looking fashion. It just looked like Punk was in another level of consistency and as good as Idom was, his demon will always remind him where he's at. But that all changed.
Tokido exorcised that demon.
@@willn8664 lmao
The Hollanesian punk was like 18 when tokido beat him at evo, sure he’ll win an evo eventually
15:05 when you're already so hyped with the Video and then you realized that Kenny Omega is like the MC of the tournament? damn. Hahaha
IDom is the GOAT. with chip and a future college degree, he has bright future. As for Punk, he was only the best because IDom is in school.
Punk will remain the best sfv player overall, nobody has dominated the cpt like he has for as long as he did
@@Subject18 hell no. he still doesn't have a capcup or evo title. the kid still has a long way to go. Bonchan's 2019 run is a lot better. Bonchan won 3 majors then finally won evo.
@@josefernandez4423 lol what? a single evo or capcom cup has the value of 3 premier wins at most (in terms of points evo has the value of 1.43 premier wins). punk's consistency far surpasses any other player, bar maybe tokido, who arguably comes close
@@Subject18 Idom qualified off of only 8 tournaments. He's a great player but he does't travel much due to school.
Damn he's so humble i love him
I don't really play any fighting games but damn I love these videos.
Watch Evo this year, brother! In August.
Even tho I don't know shit about these fighting games I love to check on them sometimes and see what's going on there. Idom seems like a really chill dude, he definitely deserved it!
these are some nice quality videos - always well put together
very nice indeed
IDOM is known in Peru, and rightfully so. Man's a legend.
Watched this whole tourney live rooting for iDom the entire way. What a ride - phenomenal stuff. Down 0-2 in the losers bracket to Punk it was almost "turn it off out of disappointment" style. But the dude dug so deep and battled. I was as hype as he was at home when he won.
Damn this was wholesome!
Y’all better make a video about his killer EVO run!
*Competitor yawns and stretches*
Commentator: "AND LOOK HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO HIM!!"
I don't play or watch Fighting Games but sheeesh. Love that story. Good for Him!
Great video!
I'm so glad I subbed to this channel. What a great story.
Respect to this Man right here!
I had never heawrd of him until evo 2022. I did stop watching sf5 2 years ago but this dude is really good
We have no idea, but I'm glad that Idom is representing the US East Coast, because I live there.
didn't expect that end. Pog Clap
Dude is stoic AF. One of the traits I like about him. Aura of mystery. But when he won the big one, his explosion transcended computer screens around the world.
The people’s champ 🔥
The ghost of EVO GF vs Tokido... Punk just can't handle the pressure.
This hits so hardd
This is special if you kept up with NLBC SFV History. Idom became the new up and comer (though technically he's been around since UMVC3) from the NLBC scene and definitely the guy who would challenge Punk in those EC events like King of New York for SFV (shout outs to Chris Hu's excellent commentary). But every time these 2 collided in those events, Idom would always fall short to Punk's decisive and confident play. At the same time Idom went from a regional threat being the strongest Laura player to a guy who couldn't even get out of EVO pools 2018. To making top 8 at EVO 2019 and finally making the most out his situation when he was knocking at the door of destiny. Sounds like a short TV documentary but there is always that guy who comes from humble beginnings, always has fun but learns to become a better competitor. Even after winning Capcom Cup he was still waxing people back home in his locals like nothing has changed.
idom's my favorite player. if i could play like anyone, i'd like to play like him.
2019 is really a year for comeback and upsets
gotta love underdogs man
A hero without a mask!!
