Starting on Saturday, November 18, hundreds of hopeful challengers (both pro and amateur) will gather at the two-day event for a 512 player open bracket tournament, and a chance at winning a spot at the North American grand finals the following day. 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 battle in an 8-player bracket for North America’s Street Fighter V top spot.
Fans who tune in for the livestream will get inside access to the tournament with two wireless cameras capturing every nail-biting moment. In-depth interviews with the 8 players who qualified for the Capcom Pro Tour North American Finals will be shown live on Day 2.
Industry luminaries from last year’s Red Bull Battle Grounds are scheduled to return including host Joshua Gray and commentators from the group known as Ultra Chen TV (David “UltraDavid” Graham, James “JChensor” Chen, Steve “Tasty Steve’ Scott and Stephen “Sajam” Lyon).
Who will reign supreme in 2017?
At Battle Grounds 2016 the current top ranked player in the world, Punk, had his national coming out party when he nearly won the 512 man open bracket out of nowhere. Eventual Capcom Cup Grand Champion NuckleDu also made a huge splash at Battle Grounds 2016, winning it in dramatic fashion over Tokido, priming his eventual coronation at the World Finals only a few weeks later. Who will make storylines this year? Who is peaking at the right time in the season? Battle Grounds was a bellweather last year and it should be again in 2017.
