Before he was the face of Street Fighter League US, the most prolific host in the FGC, and the man behind the "Hold up, his writing is this fire?" meme, @HollywoodRobTV was all in on going pro and taking on the world in Street Fighter. We discuss how he got started in the scene, how he managed to host events he could potentially have won, and his ventures into the world of entertainment to grow and reach new audiences beyond the Fighting Game Community.
