The recently crowned new world no. 1 in the virtual kata is still not satisfied with his achievements and is looking for more success.
There is no stopping James De Los Santos as he is again racking up gold medals after dominating in the Okinawa eTournament World Series #2 and the Nox Dojo Markham City Open eTournament.
In just a span of 10 days, De Los Santos took down virtual kata giants from all over the world and proved why he is the new king.
In the Okinawa eTournament, De Los Santos edged United States’ Alfredo Bustamante, ranked as the world’s no. 10 virtual kata athlete, with a score of 24.80-24.48.
Meanwhile, in the Nox Dojo eTournament, world no. 4 Matias Morento Domont of Switzerland attempted to snatch the gold away from De Los Santos but fell to the Filipino in the championship round, 25.3-24.2.
“Continuing to widen the gap in the virtual kata world rankings! I’m much more motivated!” said De Los Santos.
