With the Capcom Cup 11<\/strong> kicking off next month, Street Fighter 6\u2019s Capcom Pro Tour 2024<\/strong> is heading into its final stages.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
From March 5th-8th, Capcom Cup 11 will see 48 players compete at the Ry\u014dgoku Kokugikan<\/a> in Tokyo, Japan for its $1m (~\u00a3790,000) prize pool<\/a>. Here is everything you need to know about Street Fighter 6\u2019s biggest event of the year,<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Capcom Cup 11 format explained<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nSimilar to last year\u2019s iteration, Capcom Cup 11 will consist of a Group Stage followed by a double-elimination bracket to determine its champion.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nFirst, participants will be randomly divided into eight groups. Throughout three days, they will play best-of-three (BO3) round-robin matches within their groups. The top two emerging players in each group will qualify for the Top 16 Finals.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nOn the final day of the event, the top placing athletes from each group will start on the Winner\u2019s side (upper bracket), while the 2nd place players will commence on the Loser\u2019s side (lower bracket). Players who lose on the Winner\u2019s bracket will descend to the Loser\u2019s side and are only eliminated from the competition after losing a match on the Loser\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nParticipants will play BO5 matches throughout the bracket until the tournament\u2019s winner emerges.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \nThis year\u2019s event will run alongside the Street Fighter League: World Championship 2024. Held at the same location, the World Championship takes place on March 9th between 11 am and 6 pm JST.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \nPlayers to watch<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAmong the 48 total participants of the Capcom Cup 11, ten have qualified through Premier Tier Tournaments, such as the Evolution (Evo) Championship Series 2024. The remaining athletes emerged from the World Warrior Circuits within their region.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nFans will closely follow Dominican player Saul Leonardo \u2018MenaRD\u2019 Mena<\/strong>, who is already a two-time Capcom Cup champion, with victories in 2017 and 2023. This season, the fighting game veteran has also won Evo: Japan 2024.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nDespite a relatively even playing field among the world\u2019s best Street Fighter athletes, some individuals have consistently performed during the 2024 competitive calendar. For instance, American FlyQuest team member Victor \u2018Punk\u2019 Woodley<\/strong> has won several high-tier events this season, including Evo 2024 and DreamHack Atlanta 2024. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
