The Capcom Pro Tour is a series of international fighting game tournaments sponsored by video developer Capcom. The Pro Tour culminates in the annual Capcom Cup, a single-day tournament held in the San Francisco Bay Area.
2016
Like the previous year, Capcom Pro Tour 2016 has a $500,000 USD prize pool. Street Fighter V replaced Ultra Street Fighter IV as the game played during the series. Final Round 19 was the first major tournament in the circuit. Capcom plans to make the Capcom Cup itself much more balanced nationality-wise. The organizers also stated that only first place finishers of each twelve premier events and regional finals can qualify, meaning that if someone who is already qualified takes first place, another global points qualifier will be added. Eight players will qualify from regional point leaderboards (two from North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America each).
