Capcom has today revealed that its first ever European team championship competition – Street Fighter League Pro Europe 2022 – will begin in October featuring several UK players.
This championship will take place across 17 weeks starting from October 10th 2022, and will feature 24 players from across Europe.
Six four-player teams will face off on Street Fighter V: Champion Edition (Season 5), the publisher’s flagship fighting game, with Street Fighter 6 still due to launch in 2023.
There will be eight UK players across two organisations: Mouz (with team captain Problem X, plus Shakz – who recently won at EGX 2022, Broski amd The4philzz) and Reason Gaming (with team captain MQS, plus OneStepLayered, SoundBoi and Shivs).
Matches will be hosted by the UK’s Logan Sama and feature commentary from fellow UK talent F-Word and Jammerz.
The winning team will receive a place in the Street Fighter World Championship 2022, which will pit them against the best SFL US and SFL Japan teams in 2023. A total cash prize of €75,000 will be divided between the winners and finalists of the competition.
Capcom is launching its Street Fighter League Pro in Europe this year, following the success of its US and Japanese leagues, which have been running since 2018 and 2020 respectively.
Well-known esports competitors such as Problem X (UK), MQS (UK), Luffy (France), Mister Crimson (France), Phenom (Norway) and Vegapatch (Spain) will captain the teams.
Stuart Turner, COO of Capcom Europe, commented: “We are proud to inaugurate this year’s Street Fighter Pro League in Europe.
“This is a huge leap forward for European esports, and a great place to start watching for anyone wanting to get into the sport.”
