The Biggest Prize in Fighting Game History: Street Fighter 6 Crowns its First World Champion
In a thrilling culmination of months of intense battles and fierce competition, everything is finally set for the crowning of the first-ever Street Fighter 6 world champion, who will receive the largest prize in fighting game history.
The Capcom Pro Tour 2023 season came to a close last weekend in the Midwest region, revealing the players who have qualified for Capcom Cup X, which is set to take place next month, with a chance to win the grand prize of $1 million.
This season of CPT introduced several alterations, incorporating a comprehensive community-based tournament system called World Warrior, alongside a mix of online and offline premier events that fans have come to expect.
There were three premier tournaments: Evo 2023, CPT Singapore, and CPT France, along with 18 online events and 26 World Warrior finals qualifiers, bringing the total number of participants from around the world to 47.
The last player will be added to the roster through the surprising Last Chance Qualifier, which will be held during Capcom Cup week, bringing the final count to 48 participants.
Not all players who qualified technically won their respective tournaments, as there were players like SL|Xian who secured their premier and World Warrior slots, resulting in another player earning the Capcom Cup qualification.
Speaking of Xian, he has now qualified for 9 out of 10 possible Capcom Cups in three different Street Fighter games, which is an incredible feat.
