Following its success last year, Capcom have decided this year’s EGX will be another European Premier event on the Capcom Pro Tour, providing players from the continent a chance to win an automatic spot at Capcom Cup 2017. Hosted in partnership with Capcom and Unequalled Media, this 512-man event will run over three days, whittling down that initial roster to just eight for a Grand Finale event on Sunday 24th September.
Similar to last year, players will have to purchase a special Capcom Pro Tour EGX ticket in order to attend the event. There are only 512 spots available, so register your interest now to avoid disappointment. Not only will this ticket grant you entry for the tournament, but it will give you access to the EGX show floor for the entire weekend. Tickets cost £35 but based on attending last year’s EGX event, it is worth the money.
With Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite scheduled to come out the Tuesday before the event, expect Capcom to be exhibiting the game and who knows, maybe even holding some mini-tournaments over the weekend.
