He faced off against Derek \u201cBlaz\u201d Blaz in the grand finals of the tournament, which saw Leshar getting pushed to the limit and even trying out Elena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leshar\u2019s top 8 path to the grand finals started with a match against his kryptonite and training partner, Hajime \u201cTokido\u201d Taniguchi. The match went down to the wire, with Leshar\u2019s Ed securing the victory in game 4 by a pixel in a timeout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">They&#39;ve done it again. \ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leshar15?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@leshar15<\/a> is your first-ever EVO France Street Fighter 6 Champion.

While his results were middling in most major tournaments, his highest placing was actually at Evo Japan 2025, where he placed third. However, Leshar quickly ended their match 3-0 and sat comfortably on the winner\u2019s side of the grand final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blaz\u2019s path, on the other hand, lay through a gauntlet of veterans, including Ryo \u201cDogura\u201d Nozaki, Tokido, Nathan \u201cMister Crimson\u201d Massol and, finally, Kobayan before being able to challenge Leshar in the grand final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evo France\u2019s grand final was as intense as it could have been. As mentioned above, it had Leshar looking for answers, shocking the crowd by switching to Elena, but it did not prevent Blaz from winning the first set 3-2 and resetting the bracket. In the grand final reset, Leshar stuck with his trusty Ed and defeated Blaz 3-1 to win his first Evo title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite finishing in second, Blaz earned a qualification for Capcom Cup 12 since Leshar had already qualified.<\/p>\t\t<div class=\"spgn__social_share\" data-testid=\"social-share\">\n\t<button class=\"spgn__social_share__toggle active spgn__social_share__link
