Street Fighter V Had Its First Major At Final Round 19 Starts Capcom Pro Tour 2016 Street Fighter V

With Capcom Pro Tour 2016 offering $500,000 USD again this year, the number of participants isn’t surprising for the first major of the year. Ultimately, SFV resulted in first place to Team Razer’s Infiltration (Lee Seon-woo) and second place to MadCatz Tokido (Hajime Taniguchi). These veterans to the world of Street Fighter squared off again, as they have many times over their careers. Infiltration displayed more control of the match with Nash, which proved to be too much for Tokido’s Ryu.

With SFV still being new, there’s DLC characters yet to be released, and updates on the horizon. So, who knows who will be the next winner of a major along the tour? The pro tour ends in December, and that is many tournaments to look forward to along the way.
