Evo champion MenaRD becomes Bandits Gaming co-owner
Image credit: Esports World CupStreet Fighter 6 player Saul Leonardo ‘MenaRD‘ Mena II has become a co-owner of Dominican esports organisation Bandits Gaming.
The two-time Capcom Cup champion will assist the organisation in “building a sustainable legacy in esports” in addition to developing new talent competing in FGC tournaments.
Revealed on March 2nd, 2026, MenaRD becoming a co-owner of the organisation is the latest chapter in the player’s relationship with Bandits Gaming. Since 2019, he has competed under the Bandits Gaming banner, alongside becoming a Head Coach and General Manager.
Founded in 2019, Bandits Gaming has established itself as a prominent organisation within the FCG scene, competing in several high-profile Street Fighter competitions. In December 2025, it won the Street Fighter League Pro-US team competition, taking home $60,000 (~£44,706) in prize money and securing a place at the SFL World Championship taking place in March.
“Everything I have accomplished in this game has been connected to the people around me, my teammates, the players I’ve coached, and the community that raised me as a competitor,” said MenaRD on social media.
“Becoming an owner of Bandits isn’t just a title change; it’s a commitment. I want to build something that outlasts my playing career, an organisation that finds the next generation of champions and gives them everything to reach their highest potential.”
In addition to competing for Bandits Gaming, MenaRD also represents Chinese organisation Weibo Gaming. Shortly after joining the organisation, he competed at Capcom Cup 11, where he scored a top-16 finish.
MenaRD’s FGC Legacy
Since starting his playing career in 2016, MenaRD has cemented his place as one of the most successful Street Fighter players of all time. 2025 saw him win two Evo tournaments in Japan and Las Vegas, Nevada, adding to his expanding trophy cabinet.
Becoming a co-owner of Bandits Gaming enables MenaRD to build a lasting legacy within the FGC community by developing the next generation of talent rising through the ranks and onto the international stage.
