How much has your community supported you in the process of becoming a champion?
Kagami
Capcom Cup X champion
I’d like to thank my community back home and my family. They very much supported my participation in this Street Fighter tournament, allowing me the chance to win this championship today.
Immediately after Kagami’s win, the Chinese Taipei Esports Association posted a congratulatory message on Facebook. The post was blasted by internet users, who said the association had offered Kagami no help or promotion, and was now trying to cash in on his success.
In response, the association said the Capcom Cup X was a commercial competition held by a gaming company. Players generally participate in such competitions on their own, as they are not eligible for subsidies under the association’s rules. The association added that the post had simply aimed to give Kagami more exposure.
Taiwan esports players have performed well at fighting game tournaments in recent years. Last year, two Taiwanese players snatched silver and bronze at the Hangzhou Asian Games in the Street Fighter V event. Kagami’s win on Monday has once again put Taiwan on the map for its esports prowess.

自帶300美金出國比賽! 台灣選手奪冠 電競協會祝賀文被酸
2024-02-27
台灣電競選手Kagami遠赴美國加州，參加格鬥電玩比賽卡普空盃(Capcom Cup)，但因為預算有限，出發時只帶了300美金，不過，他最後拿下冠軍、抱回百萬美元獎金，粉絲都很替他高興，只是奪冠消息一出電競協會也在臉書上發文祝賀，卻被網友反酸，沒有補助還來蹭熱度。
K.O對手的那一刻，台灣電競選手Kagami比出勝利手勢。發表獲獎感言，展現自信。

“公佈獎金有100萬(美元)的時候，我就知道這個冠軍我拿定了。”
帶著300塊美金約台幣近1萬元就赴美參賽，一路過關斬將，連續打敗墨西哥、韓國、香港的選手，拿下冠軍。

“一路走來，你的社群如何給予支持？”
[[台灣電競冠軍Kagami]]
“我很感謝台灣的社群，還有我的家人，很支持我參加這個格鬥比賽，所以我今天才有機會拿到這個冠軍。”
台灣電競之光消息一出爐，電競協會也在臉書上發文恭喜，卻立刻遭網友狂酸，協會賽前沒有任何幫助跟宣傳，得了獎才要蹭選手熱度。
對此電競協會回應，由於是屬於遊戲公司主辦的商業電競賽事，一般都由選手自行參賽，按照規定無法進行補助，而發文目的主要也是希望能夠讓選手得到更多關注。
台灣格鬥遊戲項目近年成績十分亮眼，去年才剛落幕的杭州亞運《快打旋風5》項目中，兩位台灣選手分別奪銀、摘銅，表現精彩。這次Kagami首度參賽就奪冠，也讓台灣再度站上電競世界的舞台。
