The next Capcom Pro Tour North American Finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds will take place at The Castle in Boston on November 18-19. As the Street Fighter franchise celebrates its 30th Anniversary, the competition has evolved from local arcade meetups to multi-day national events like Red Bull Battle Grounds, which will crown the top Street Fighter V player in North America.
Beginning on Saturday, November 18, hundreds of Street Fighter V hopeful challengers will gather at the two-day spectacular for a 512 player open bracket tournament and a chance at winning a spot at the grand finals on Sunday, November 19.
Champions from the regional, monthly Red Bull Proving Grounds tournaments will also get a seat at the open bracket qualifier event.
On Sunday, the top 7 players from the Capcom Pro Tour Regional Leaderboards and the winner from Saturday’s last chance open qualifier will then compete in an 8 player bracket for North America’s Street Fighter V crown.
Additionally, for the 30th Anniversary of Street Fighter, fans can play in Street Fighter II, Street Fighter 3rd Strike and Ultra Street Fighter 4 tournaments.
