The Capcom Pro Tour is a series of international fighting game tournaments sponsored by video game developer Capcom.
The Pro Tour culminates in the annual Capcom Cup, a single-day tournament held in the San Francisco Bay Area.
[1] Like the previous year, Capcom Pro Tour 2016 has a US$500,000 prize pool.
The points leaderboards and qualification mechanics for the 2017 Capcom Cup were greatly streamlined in the 2017 season, with automatic qualification upon winning a Premier Event being taken away.
[7] At the first official online event, two leading competitors, including Idom, dropped out live on air, citing the poor netcode of Street Fighter V.[8] In August 2020, top player Punk was penalised by Capcom for a public outburst against the poor netcode.
