The anticipation for Capcom Cup 12 is escalating as the global leaderboard reveals the elite Street Fighter 6 competitors who have secured their spots. With the recent conclusion of the Kuaishou FightClub Championship 6, the stage is set for an electrifying showdown at this prestigious event.
The Return of the Capcom Pro Tour Global Leaderboard
The return of the Capcom Pro Tour’s global leaderboard this season has reignited competitive spirits, encouraging participants to battle their way to the top. With only the top six competitors gaining direct entry to Capcom Cup 12, the stakes were high at the final Premier event, Kuaishou FightClub Championship 6. Victor ‘Punk’ Woodley’s stellar fifth-place finish earned him 600 points, catapulting him to the top of the leaderboard. This significant shift saw Samuel ‘EndingWalker’ Arm fall from the top six, a reminder of the intense competition on the circuit. However, players still have opportunities to qualify through other upcoming events like the World Warrior series.
The Elite Competitors
Only the fierce and skilled have secured qualification through points alone:
1. Punk – 600
2. Momochi – 570
3. Kobayan – 510
4. Ryukichi – 490
5. Dual Kevin – 470
6. Itabashi Zangief – 440
These competitors will join a formidable lineup, including Amjad ‘AngryBird’ Alshalabi, who takes Kakeru ‘Kakeru’ Watanabe’s place following his retirement announcement. Adding to the intensity are Saul ‘MenaRD’ Mena and Zeng ‘Xiaohai’ Zhuojun, promising a thrilling competition ahead.
The Capcom Cup 12 is slated for March 11th to the 15th, though fans are advised that the final stages might be part of Capcom’s new controversial pay-per-view approach.
