EXPERTISE

Stephen has played fighting games since he could walk, watching veterans like Daigo, legends like Knee, and current champions like Arslan Ash dominate the scene. Having previously worked as a freelance gaming content writer, Stephen is used to keeping an eye on the latest trends and stories in esports.

Stephen Tang's Recommendation

"If you want to get into fighting games, it can be tempting to start by learning combos, but don't if you're a beginner. Instead, learn the fundamentals, like spacing, movement defence, and get a feel for the flow of the game you have chosen. Combos won't help you if you can't set them up or land the move to start them. It will stop the initial difficult curve fighting games are known for, from being more frustrating than they need to be."

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
