Leon gave his best performance to battle among Asia Pacific’s hottest breakers at Seoul’s AX Hall on Saturday and grabbed the winning ticket to Rome in a unanimous vote against finalist Japanese B-Boy Issei (Found Nation Crew).
Throughout the night, he dazzled the judges and crown alike with an incredibly unique style that combined originality, attitude and playfulness. Leon showed he was a master of B-Boying and proved that he has what it takes to make his name among the best of the best.
B-Boy Leon will now represent his crew and country at the Red Bull BC One Italy World Final 2015, to be held in Rome on November 14.
The World Final will be livestreamed at both redbullbcone.com and redbull.tv.
