From June 13 to 15, 2025, the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando hosted the 15th edition of CEO (Community Effort Orlando), one of the most iconic events in the fighting game scene. The tournament brought together top players from around the world, especially in Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and Guilty Gear Strive
High-Level International Tournaments
CEO 2025 was the stage for fierce competition across more than 30 titles. Among them, the Capcom Pro Tour for Street Fighter 6 stood out, as many valuable qualifying points for the World Tour Finals and the Esports World Cup were up for grabs.
Mister Crimson’s Performance
Among the many competitors, Aegis | Mister Crimson made his mark in the Street Fighter 6 bracket. He finished in 33rd place, a solid performance given the incredibly stacked field that included 24 of the world’s top players. In his pool, he notably scored a 2–0 win over GuyGuy (Zangief) before falling to Caba (Guile) in Top 32.
Atmosphere, Community, and Discoveries
CEO 2025 wasn’t just about competition. At the heart of the massive venue, the NACON booth drew in crowds of curious fans and pro players alike, eager to test out the Daija Arcade Stick, the Revolution 5 Pro, and the RIG 500 Pro headsets—the official headsets of EVO 2025. Ambassadors, players, and fans had the chance to exchange, explore the brand’s latest innovations, and fully immerse themselves in the NACON universe, now a major force in the fighting game community.
What’s Next?
Following CEO 2025, the FGC is gearing up for the year’s biggest showdowns: EVO Las Vegas (August 1–3) and EVO Nice (October 10–12). NACON, official partner of EVO for the 2025 season, will play a central role at both events, with its controllers, arcade sticks, and RIG 500 Pro headsets featured at the official gameplay stations. These events will also give fans the opportunity to test the latest innovations from the brand.
The points earned at EVO will be crucial for qualification into the World Tour Finals and upcoming international championships.
