Crimson Viper

Career

Latif grew up in

Super Battle Opera in 2009.[1]

Latif didn't like the gameplay of

Crimson Viper and became invested in practicing the character. In an interview with Red Bull, Latif stated that "in 2011, I remember playing eight to nine hours a day. Wake up. Eat. Play, play and play. Sleep. I was still in school so I did this training routine during summers."[1]

Latif made a splash in the Street Fighter scene at

Fei Long in the finale, but lost all three matches.[3]

In 2012, Latif joined Razer Inc.'s "Razer Academy" project, which was designed to provide an interactive and in-depth learning experience for esports fans.[4][5] Since the 2011 Evolution Championships, Latif has been able to get into the top 16 twice. He wasn't able to qualify for the 2015 Capcom Cup after losing against Fuudo again in the KO Fighting Game Festival in Kuwait.[1]

Latif left Team Razer in late 2013 and remained a free agent until his break in 2015.[6] In July 2021, Latif announced his return to competition with Guilty Gear Strive.[7]
