Capcom announces hybrid Capcom Pro Tour for 2022
Capcom has revealed its plans for the Capcom Pro Tour 2022, signaling a return to physical competition following a year of online events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new tournament format, dubbed the “hybrid” Capcom Pro Tour, will combine both online and offline events.
Players from around the world will have the opportunity to participate in the competition through both regional and global tournaments. The Capcom Pro Tour will feature a series of online tournaments, known as the online Premier events, where players can compete for a spot in the offline tournaments, called the offline Capcom Cup events.
The online Premier events will be held throughout the year, allowing players to accumulate points that will determine their eligibility for the offline Capcom Cup events. The offline events will showcase top players from each region, providing them with the opportunity to compete in a more traditional offline setting.
Capcom has also introduced a new point system for the 2022 season. Points will be awarded based on performance in both online Premier events and offline Capcom Cup events, with higher point values for the latter. This change aims to better reflect the skills and achievements of players in both formats.
The Capcom Pro Tour 2022 will kick off with its first online Premier event in March. The tournament will showcase some of the best players from around the world as they battle it out for a spot in the offline Capcom Cup events. Additional tournaments and events will be announced as the year progresses, offering players the chance to prove their skills on the global stage.
Capcom’s announcement of the hybrid Capcom Pro Tour 2022 marks a significant step towards the return of physical competitions in the fighting game community. Players and fans alike can look forward to witnessing the intense battles and rivalries that come with offline tournaments, while still enjoying the accessibility and inclusivity of online events.
With the implementation of the new point system, the Capcom Pro Tour 2022 aims to provide a fair and balanced playing field for all participants. The combination of online and offline events ensures that players from all regions have the opportunity to compete and showcase their skills.
Overall, the Capcom Pro Tour 2022 promises an exciting and dynamic season for the fighting game community. Players can expect fierce competition, memorable moments, and the return of the offline tournament atmosphere that was sorely missed in the past year. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as the Capcom Pro Tour 2022 unfolds.
