TOPANGA LEAGUE 5 (B) is a pay-per-view series of broadcasts. See our preview thread for more information.

This Friday is the start of the fifth season of TOPANGA’s high-level Ultra Street Fighter IV league competition, TOPANGA LEAGUE. As usual, this season starts off with the lower B League. Over the course of ten days, twenty of Japan’s strongest Street Fighters will take each other on for a chance to ascend to the high-profile A League. Seasoned veterans, rising stars…and a Dee Jay player? This year’s B League is looking to be as entertaining as ever.

Rules & Format

Players will be broken up into two groups of ten. To prevent repeated match-ups, players using the same character will be separated into different groups. The remaining rules are the same as previous years: B League will be played online in best-of-five game matches. Players are ranked by win-loss record, or in the case of a tie, by game win-loss difference, followed by head-to-head match-up results.

First and second place in each group will be promoted to A League. Third place in each group will join BE|Nemo and MCZ|Tokido in a four-player offline playoff league for a shot at promotion. Each match there will be a best-of-thirteen game set, with deuce rules to ten wins. The top two players will be promoted to A League.
