Capcom Pro Tour Premier: What makes SF6 UFA 2024 so special

It’s always a treat for the fighting games community (FGC) when top-level players gather at a high-stakes event. Street Fighter 6 UFA 2024 is exactly such an occasion!

The tournament here has the status of Premier qualifier within the official league Capcom Pro Tour 2024. The winner at Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024 proceeds to Capcom Cup 11, which is arguably the most prestigious event for Street Fighter 6.

Top players to watch out for

The level of registered players is fantastic. You will not find Punk and MenaRD, though — but only because the player already qualified for the Capcom Cup from Evo 2024 and Cream City Convergence 2024. As for other notable competitors, we can mention just a few names to highlight the level of this tournament.

  • Daigo Umehara is here. Witnessing The Beast competing is an amazing chance for everyone in the FGC.
  • Big Bird — He is the winner of DreamHack Summer 2024. The performance of Big Bird at Evo 2024 is memorable, to say the least, even if he finished 2nd there.
  • EndingWalker is one of the brightest young talents in Street Fighter 6. The guy won VSFighting XII and was 3rd at the previous Premier qualifier, Cream City Convergence 2024.
  • Nephew is one of the best players in the U.S. His Juri style is remarkable! You could notice that at the Esports World Cup 2024, even if Nephew’s placement there wasn’t too high. He finished 3rd CEO 2024, after being eliminated by Punk, the tournament winner.

It’s always great to see these players in action — whether they win or get destroyed by an underdog competitor.

There will be five more Premier and Super Premier qualifiers for Capcom Cup 11 after UFA 2024. The next one is East Coast Throwdown, and it takes place in Hartford, Connecticut, from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13. For Street Fighter 6 news and updates, stick around on esports.gg!
