Jiewa was a Ken player during Year 1 and Year 2 of Street Fighter 6 but switched to Mai in Year 3. Although he had not achieved any major results in Street Fighter 6 until now, this marks his first major tournament championship. Throughout the 2025 World Warrior circuit, he consistently achieved high placements in the fiercely competitive Asia region, finishing 5th, 25th, 13th, 5th, and 7th.
Furthermore, since the Asia region is a Super Region, Vxbao (M.Bison, Mai, Ed), who ranked 1st in the points standings, also secured a spot in Capcom Cup 12.
The Grand Finals featured a match between Jiewa (Mai), advancing from the Winners side, and Zhen (Ed, Dee Jay, M.Bison), who climbed up from the Losers side. The two players had previously met in the Winners Semifinals, where Jiewa had emerged victorious.
Zhen played M.Bison and Dee Jay in an attempt to counter Jiewa's Mai, but Jiewa won the set with a final score of 3-1. As a result, Jiewa secured the championship without dropping a set in the Grand Finals.
