  • ... that 18-year old Dominican Street Fighter V player Saul Leonardo Mena "MenaRD" Segundo won the 2017 Capcom Cup despite high costs and difficulty traveling to the United States presented him with? [1]; "MenaRD, ranked 25th in the CPT standings, told us just how difficult it is for him to make it out to other premier events. “It’s really hard to get an American Visa when you are Dominican, so it’s really hard to travel to the States. Also, the U.S. dollars are worth a lot more in DR, so a $700 ticket is not as expensive to an American player as it is to a Dominican one.”"
    • ALT1:... that the $250,000 USD 1st prize of the 2017 Capcom Cup was won by the 18-year old Dominican Street Fighter V player Saul Leonardo Mena "MenaRD" Segundo?
    • ALT2:... that the 18-year old Dominican Street Fighter V player Saul Leonardo Mena "MenaRD" Segundo wants to invests his first-place earning at the 2017 Capcom Cup back into his local community? [2]; "At 18 years old, Mena is more than a young champion — he is also a beacon of hope for the Caribbean FGC, which faces difficulties traveling to events as well as getting premier tournaments for their region. With his winnings, Mena hopes to invest back in the community and create more great players like himself."

  • Ah yes, I hadn't added any sources there (and none were really necessary I suppose) because it was basically a summary of the 2017 Capcom Pro Tour article. That being said, it's good that I quickly looked through the sources again, because I spotted an error (There were 15 Premier Events, not 11). Either way, the section is now properly sourced. ~Mable (chat) 12:17, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
I'll continue the review either tomorrow or in the next few days, but I would suggest that you include at least one hook that mentions Hurricane Maria. Based on a preliminary check, everything checks out (newness, length, sourcing, file licensing, plagiarism, QPQ, etc.). But I'm holding off approving this pending action on my suggestion.

Hurricane Maria would make for a good DYK, but I'm not able to bring it up within a 200-character blurb. The hurricane happened two months before the tournament and simply made it even more difficult for MenaRD to travel to the US in order to qualify for the Capcom Cup. If you know a way to work it in without making the blurb misleading or overly long, I'd love to hear it. ~Mable (chat) 18:11, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
How about:
If that doesn't work out, then I guess ALT0 would be an acceptable hook as well. I'm approving ALT0 (ALT1 seems uninteresting to be honest), while letting the promoter decide if ALT2 or ALT3 acceptable. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:34, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
I believe ALT3 is misleading, unless "participation" was replaced with "qualification". Even then, it didn't actually stop him. Lastly, the blurb seems uninteresting without noting that MenaRD is the champion. Thank you for putting thought into it regardless :) ALT0 and ALT2 are both good to me. ~Mable (chat) 09:24, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
