Capcom Pro Tour 2024 has events later this year, and the pro community has dedicated their efforts to getting a spot at the Esports World Cup 2024.

SF6 Esports World Cup 2024 qualifiers
Thirty-two players will be able to attend the SF6 tournament at the Esports World Cup 24 from August 8 to August 11. To get a spot, they need to reach Top 2/4/6/8 placements at various qualifiers. There will be eight EWC spots distributed at DreamHack Summer, which makes the event a qualifier of the highest rank.
Some players have already qualified from:
- Evo Japan 2024, six spots: MenaRD, Kakeru, Lexx, Ryukichi, Vxbao, and moke
- DreamHack Dallas 2024, eight spots: gachikun, Problem X, Phenom, Zhen, Chris Wong, NuckleDu, Oil King, and Higuchi
- Battle Arena Melbourne 14, two spots: Tokido, and Tachikawa
In addition to DreamHack Summer, there will be only three more qualifiers:
- CEO 2024: Two spots
- The MIXUP 2024: Two spots
- Riyadh Festival LCQ: Four spots
Another fighting games tournament at DreamHack Dallas has the same status as an Esports World Cup qualifier — Tekken 8.
Top players to watch out for at SF6 DreamHack Summer 2024
As the event happens in Sweden, it’s logical to see many strong European players attending the competition. Still, the prospect of getting to EWC attracts professionals from far away too. Let’s highlight some big Street Fighters names to watch out for.
- Daigo — the legend himself is here. Daigo Umehara is always a threat to his opponents.
- Kawano — he is the winner of EVO 2022, but Kawano still needs to establish himself in Street Fighter 6.
- Bonchan — one of the strongest SF players in the world. Bonchan finished 3rd at BAM 14, so he needs another chance to qualify for EWC 2024.
- Big Bird — the player got many top placements in the Capcom Pro Tour events in 2023.
- Xian — a competitor from Singapore. He was overcome by Japanese opponents at Battle Arena Melbourne 14.
- Punk — a prominent player from the US. Punk won Frosty Faustings XVI at the beginning of 2024, and he should be hungry to repeat his success.
- Nephew — the guy needed just a couple of steps to qualify from DreamHack Dallas 2024. Can Nephew do this in Sweden?
It’s hardly possible to predict the outcome of such top-level matches, but these players should deliver a great show!
