The Return of the Capcom Pro Tour Global Leaderboard
The Capcom Pro Tour’s global leaderboard was removed from the circuit for years before returning this season. This gave competitors more incentive to grind tournaments to climb up the leaderboard.
Only the top six competitors on the leaderboard qualify for the Capcom Cup 12, so the final Premier event, Kuashou FightClub Championship 6, had a lot riding on the Top 8. After this tournament, Victor ‘Punk’ Woodley‘s fifth place finish put him at 600 Points, enough to get him into the top spot.
This shook the leaderboard up in a big way, pushing Samuel ‘EndingWalker’ Arm out of the top six completely. Keep in mind, top players can qualify for the Capcom Cup 12 in other ways, including the upcoming World Warrior events.
Here are the competitors qualifying for the Capcom Cup 12 through points alone:
1. Punk – 600
2. Momochi – 570
3. Kobayan – 510
4. Ryukichi – 490
5. Dual Kevin – 470
6. Itabashi Zangief – 440
They will join a very stacked group of qualified players, including Amjad ‘AngryBird’ Alshalabi, who is taking Kakeru ‘Kakeru‘ Watanabe‘s spot after the veteran announced his retirement from pro play. Saul ‘MenaRD’ Mena and Zeng ‘Xiaohai’ Zhuojun round out a pretty intense competition.
The Capcom Cup 12 will take place from March 11th to the 15th, although the final battles may be locked behind Capcom’s new and controversial pay-per-view system.
