The Street Fighter League in 2022 has reached its final stage!
Alongside the Capcom Cup IX, this tournament is going to be the culmination of an entire year’s worth of Leagues. While a little smaller than the main cup, the Street Fighter League World Championship is a fun event with a different approach to competitive fighting.
While most Street Fighter tournaments are one-v-one, the League takes a fresh approach. It’s a team-based game. Squads of players from esports orgs are fielded in the League and this final World Championship is the culmination of the year’s long event. This is how it works, how you can watch and more.
The Street Fighter League World Champion has its own format but it is taking place as part of the wider Capcom Cup. You can find the tournament to watch along at home in all the same places. It’s available as part of the Capcom Fighters stream of the even:
You can find the tournament catch-up and VODs of the matches aon the Capcom Fighters YouTube.
This is the final event for an entire season of tournaments, so it isn’t going to be a huge tournament with qualifying stages. Instead, this is essentially the final bracket or round of matches! Everyone here has already earnt their spot at the final. The competing teams will be playing each other in three matches, with a potential tiebreaker afterwards.
Each match starts in best of three for the two games, giving 10 points to the winner. The third match switches to best of three with 20 points. A tie-breaker at the end moves to sudden death best of one, with only 5 points at stake to push a team into winning.
The whole event will be taking place from February 17-18. It’s only over two days, with a winner of the whole League claimed at the end.
There’s a $150,000 prize pool at stake for the Street Fighter League World Championship. With only three teams taking part, they’re going to be leaving with a decent payout. Although, it’s the top team that’ll take home the biggest win and share of the prize.
The Street Fighter League World Championship is based on a whole season of events. It’s only taking in the best players at this stage of the event though. The top-ranking team from each of the participating Leagues is fielding a team. There are the top teams from the Japanese Street Fighter League, the European League, and the US League’s 2022 season.
These are the teams that made it all the way to the final.
Right after the Street Fighter League World Championship crowns a winner, we’ll move into the Capcom Cup’s final stages! Keep an eye on the streams to see which players come out on top of one of the final esports events for Street Fighter V.
