Hong Kong Esports Festival

In an interview with the South China Morning Post, general manager of event and product development at the Tourism Board Mason Hung Chung-hing stated that the organizers hope that "through the festival we will be able to make Hong Kong a destination for the younger generation."

Playing as Guile, Daigo gained the upper hand in an earlier match against Tsunehori by flooding the stage with ranged attacks, knocking his opponent into the loser's bracket.

The Esports Festival was the first Premier Event tournament Daigo had won in nearly a year,[4] and this win essentially guaranteed him a spot in the 2017 Capcom Cup.

[3] Capcom first announced the downloadable content Street Fighter character Menat at the Hong Kong Esports Festival, revealing her in a trailer during a break in the top 8 of the tournament.

Players from Spain, Germany, China, the United States, and Hong Kong competed in order to win the HK$300,000 cash prize.
