BECKLEY, W.Va. — WVU Tech's Ralph Aaron Etaba Ateba (known in-game as Wreck) delivered his first ECAC Street Fighter 6 win Tuesday evening, sweeping Kizi of Alice Lloyd College 4–0 from the Golden Bear Esports Lab.
Competing as Ryu, Etaba Ateba controlled the pace of every round through disciplined spacing and clean execution. The freshman from Ijamsville, Maryland, improved to 1-1 overall after opening ECAC play last week against Fredonia State.
Etaba Ateba entered the match carrying a Gold Rank with 12,382 League Points (LP), while Kizi held Iron Rank with 1,000 LP. His decisive win highlighted the growing confidence and precision of WVU Tech's newest competitor as he continues representing the Golden Bears on the ECAC Street Fighter 6 circuit.
Wreck returns to ECAC action Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m., with the opponent to be announced.
🕹️ Street Fighter 101 — How ECAC Competition Works
Street Fighter 6, developed by Capcom, is a one-on-one fighting game featuring fast reflexes, combos, and strategy.
- Format: ECAC matches are best-of-seven (first to four wins) and played on North American servers with cross-platform access.
- Character rules: The losing player may switch characters after each game; the winner must keep their current fighter.
- LP (League Points): A global ranking system reflecting player performance. Higher LP corresponds to tougher tiers — Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and beyond.
- Drive System: A shared gauge that fuels offensive and defensive options, encouraging creativity and risk-reward decisions.
- DLC Eligibility: New downloadable characters may be used once they've been available for at least two weeks.
Each ECAC season builds toward playoffs, where players with at least four or five wins advance to bracket play.
