Abdullatif "Latif" Alhmili is a Saudi Fighting Games player currently representing NASR eSports.

Biography[edit]

Latif grew up in Saudi Arabia, where he resided before moving to Texas in 2007 to study English. He was primarily a player of the Guilty Gear series, winning Final Round 11 for Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, causing his parents to approve of his tournament travels. He became EVO champion for Accent Core Plus in the same year using Eddie, a victory which fully launched his competitive career.

Street Fighter IV[edit]

Initially Latif wasn't a fan of Street Fighter IV, disliking the slow speed of the game compared to the Guilty Gear series. However, he was eventually motivated to practice the game using C. Viper, a high-flying rushdown character who drew favourable comparisons to higher-paced series of fighting games such as The King of Fighters from the community, as well as Guilty Gear, when she was launched.[1]

With his Guilty Gear stand-in character, Latif stuck to an intensive practice regime of 8-9 hours a day during his 2010 summer vacation.[2] Latif went into EVO 2011 as an underdog, yet he clawed his way into the top 8 where he surprised everyone by eliminating Tokido, Poongko, and Daigo Umehara. He ended the tournament in 2nd place, losing to Fuudo in the Grand Final.

Return[edit]

Following the launch of Guilty Gear -STRIVE-, Latif returned to competitions online playing events like The Big LEVO and the ARCREVO series of events. He was signed by NASR eSports on December 14th 2021, and still enters Guilty Gear tournaments as of 2023.
