Capcom Pro Tour North American Finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds Lands in Boston!

Check out the details for the Capcom Pro Tour that’s heading to Boston in November!

Santa Monica, CA – July 14, 2017 – Today at the Evolution Championship Series (EVO) in Las Vegas, Red Bull announced that the next Capcom Pro Tour North American Finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds will take place at The Castle in Boston on November 18-19. As the Street Fighter® franchise celebrates its 30th Anniversary, the competition has evolved from local arcade meetups to multi-day national events like Red Bull Battle Grounds, which will crown the top Street Fighter® V player in North America.

Beginning on Saturday, November 18, hundreds of hopeful challengers from around the continent will gather at the two-day spectacular for a 512 player open bracket tournament and a chance at winning a spot at the grand finals on Sunday. Champions from the regional, monthly Red Bull Proving Grounds tournaments will also get a seat at the open bracket qualifier event. On Sunday, the top 7 players from the Capcom Pro Tour Regional Leaderboards and the winner from Saturday’s last chance open qualifier will then compete in an 8 player bracket for North America’s Street Fighter V crown.

The art-deco style of The Castle in Boston will provide a fantastical backdrop for the tournament. This historical landmark is reminiscent of the Street Fighter V “Union Station” stage, giving attendees the opportunity to feel like they are in the game.
