NorCal Will Fight Against SoCal in ESL’s King of the Hill for Street Fighter V

After successful King of the Hill events for Overwatch and Hearthstone, the ESL are bringing their King of the Hill tournament format to Street Fighter V this October. This month-long tournament series will see players from Northern and Southern California facing off in weekly first-to-10 brackets, live from the ESL Studios in Burbank. This series begins on October 18th, with two invited representatives from each region coming together to determine who will be the first King of the Hill.

Whoever takes or defends the hill will earn $500, as well as a spot in the following week’s tournament. It will then be up to another player from either region to come and retake the hill from the enemy team. All of this action will be commentated by stalwart commentary duo, Ultradavid and James Chen, with all the action being streamed live on the official ESL Twitch channel.

Following the initial clash on October 18th, the next three battles will be on Tuesdays at 3pm PST, so make sure to tune in to see which region is truly dominant in Street Fighter V. With the recent success of ESL Brooklyn Beatdown, I’m sure this event will be up to the same high standard and usher in yet more top quality Street Fighter V events, hosted by ESL.
