Gamer Network, Capcom and Unequalled Media, have just revealed that EGX 2016 will host a Capcom Pro Tour Premier Event.
The Capcom Pro Tour is described by Capcom as “the world’s most exciting fighting game tournament” and sees expert players will take part in Street Fighter V tournaments all over the world. Those who gain the most ranking points make it to the Capcom Cup where the best players fight it out and a world champion is crowned.
Last year, EGX 2015 hosted a similar “Ranking Event” but this year more points and a larger prize pool will be up for grabs. The Capcom Pro Tour event will be staged over the 3 days of EGX 2016 – Friday September 23rd to Sunday September 25th – at the NEC in Birmingham, UK.
Tickets for EGX 2016 are set to go on sale tomorrow, February 11th; more information is available from the official website.
