Following successful Capcom Pro Tour ranking events at other trade shows such as PAX East, and San Diego Comic-Con, we are happy to announce that PAX Prime will be the next show to host an official CPT tournament! The qualifiying rounds will be a little more intense this time around, with them being single elimination, but there will quite a few chances. Continue on for more details.

Similar to previous trade show events, qualifiers will be held throughout the show with the top two placers for each moving on to the top 16 finals on Sunday. With a $3000 prize pool and CPT ranking points on the line, you can be sure that everyone will be bringing their A game.

Qualifiers take place at the Capcom booth (#3217) and the top 16 finals will take place at the Twitch booth, which is right next to the Capcom booth. Sign ups will be taken at the Capcom booth everyday from 10am on a first come-first serve basis, so be sure to show up early to get your name on the list! The winner of each qualifier will move on to Sunday in Winner’s bracket, while the runner-ups will move on to Sunday in Loser’s bracket.
