Final match "UMA" vs "Yesports | Chris Wong
The Grand Final will begin at approximately 7:06:25 of playback time.
The two players who advanced to the Grand Final of the CAPCOM CUP X are UMA (@uma327_sf6 ) from Taiwan and Yesports | Chris Wong (@ChrisWong1028 ) from Hong Kong. UMA has the advantage after winning the Winners Final, but Chris Wong, who beat Red Bull | Gachi-kun in the Ruizers Final just before, has a lot of momentum.
UMA's Juri was aggressive, but Chris Wong's Luke did not miss a chance to counterattack. Three games ahead in the Grand Final, the final game went to the Grand Final Reset!
UMA's Juri, perhaps having changed his mind after the reset, began a furious counterattack. His broad offensive moves were more effective than Chris Wong's momentum, and he won all three games in a row! He won his third straight match, and the $1,000,000 prize. Congratulations to Chris Wong!
The prize money for winning the "CAPCOM CUP XI" is also 1 million dollars!
After the Grand Final, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, President and COO of Capcom, took the stage. He announced that the next "CAPCOM CUP XI" would continue to be held with a prize money of 1 million dollars! The tournaments for the main event will start in June 2024 in various locations around the world.
The CAPCOM CUP is a high hurdle to overcome in order to qualify for the main tournament, let alone win it, but it also brings with it the wealth and prestige that comes with it. The third additional character for Year 1, "Ed," is scheduled to be added on February 27, 2024 (Tuesday), and the fourth additional character for Year 1, "Gouki," will be added in the spring of 2024, so it is not too late to get started. If you are at all interested, please pick up a copy of "Street Fighter 6" and challenge your dream of winning one million dollars!
