This tournament is a Premier qualifier for Capcom Cup 11. Also, the community expects new info on the next DLC character, Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury.

Evo 2024 features the top-most fighting games esports tournaments — as it should be for the Evolution Championship Series. Street Fighter 6 Evo 2024 sure follows this trend. Players participate in a Capcom Pro Tour Premier event, with a direct invite to Capcom Cup 11 for the winner. The best SF6 players in the world gather in Las Vegas for such a competitive opportunity.

The community expectations go even beyond the top-level matches. We need great announcements from the developers! It feels like more info on Terry Bogard will satisfy this hunger. A nice trailer revealed during the Evo 2024 Street Fighter 6 tournament will do the trick.

Evo 2024 Street Fighter 6 results

Punk and Big Bird defeated their opponents in the semi-finals and then faced each other in the final — for the first (but not last) time in this tournament. Punk got a clear 3:0 victory.

Big Bird defeated EndyWalker in the losers final to proceed to the grand final and play vs Punk again. The winner of DreamHack Summer managed to reset the bracket with 3:0.

The final game was back and forth; both players got their games, and the fight reached the final. Punk won it and became an SF6 Evo 2024 Champion. Congratulations!

Punk is the first player qualified for the Capcom Cup 11.
