Capcom Cup has the FGC drooling as it enters a new era with Street Fighter 6, $2 million prize pool
The fighting game community (FGC) is one of the largest communities in all of esports, but it is also grassroots to the core. So when Capcom announced last night the next Capcom Pro Tour would have Street Fighter players duking it out for a chance at $2 million, it wasn’t just the SF players who took notice.
That’s right, Capcom Pro Tour 2023 will be shifting away from Street Fighter V and embracing the new title, Street Fighter 6—which launches globally on June 2. Not only that, but it will feature the biggest prize pool for any fighting game ever while bringing the competition into a new format.
