While Europe has its Capcom Pro Tour Regional Final, Japan will have its own CPT Premier Event with the annual Tokyo Game Show tournament. The tourney is massive, with over 700 registered players set to compete with over 10 million Yen (~88,850 USD) and precious Global Ranking Points on the line.
Unsurprisingly a large number of top players from Japan, the rest of Asia and beyond will be participating over the weekend, including Verloren, NL, PoongKo, JeonDDing, Xian, Oil King, Xiaohai, Justin Wong, Ricki Ortiz, Commander Jesse, Tokido, Daigo Umehara, Fuudo, sako, gachikun, Fujimura, Bonchan, Momochi, Nemo, Kazunoko, Mago, stormKUBO, Machabo, moke and many, many more.
