In an electrifying display of competitive spirit, Capcom Cup 12 and the Street Fighter League 2025 World Championship are capturing the spotlight this week in Tokyo, Japan.
Some formidable players participating include various top competitors.
This year’s format introduces a fresh twist. With 48 players organized into 12 groups, each grouping features a mini-bracket where four competitors battle it out in a first-to-3 matchup. The champions from the winner’s bracket secure spots in the Top 16 bracket, while others get a chance through a secondary qualification round.
In the latter phase, competitors from the loser’s bracket will regroup into clusters of three for an internal Round Robin. The standout from each group will secure final spots in the Top 16 showdown.
Transitioning to the Top 16 means a shift to single-elimination rounds, but with a first-to-5 games format determining the champion. The winner will take home a considerable prize of $1,000,000, contributing to a total prize pool nearing $1.3 million.
Moving on to the Street Fighter League World Championship, three championship teams will engage in a Round Robin format culminating in a final showdown played to 70 points.
