While it’s unknown what games will be played, we can only imagine it will be Street Fighter V as Fchamp was elected as the fighting game community’s representative on the Bud Light All-Stars eSports team. Who knows, we may also see both players face off in Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn, which was successfully crowdfunded on Indiegogo back in 2014.

Shaq is also a huge supporter of eSports, being an investor for the NRG eSports team which focuses on various games including League of Legends, Counterstrike: Go and even Smash Bros.
