The "Street Fighter League: Pro-JP 2021 Playoffs" was scheduled to be held offline in a studio, but it will now be held online.
The event will still be held today, January 8 (Sat.) at 1:00 p.m. and can be viewed by those who purchased tickets.

Capcom's decision is highly praised.

Not long ago, when e-sports offline tournaments and events were beginning to be held, players and fans alike were looking forward to them.
However, with the spread of the Omicron strain, a mutant strain of the new coronavirus, there were a variety of responses from different countries, and I wondered if it would be possible to hold offline events without any change...? However, the decision was made to cancel the event.
However, Capcom decided to cancel the event this time.
It is very unfortunate, but we are considering an alternative event, so let's wait for further news.
