Capcom Pro Tour Online Starts this June 6th

Due to COVID-19, many companies are canceling events to prevent its spread. E3, EVO, and Gamescom are a few of the many events canceled, with digital events replacing the canceled events when able. Capcom is doing the same with the Capcom Pro Tour Online event starting this June 6th.

Capcom will hold 18 online regional tournaments starting June 6th. Those who win will qualify for the Capcom Cup 2020, with 2019's winner iDom being offered a slot at the 2020 event. The final slot will be provided through a community vote.

In light of the various travel restrictions and social distancing guidelines around the world, Capcom has decided to cancel all remaining offline (live) premiers, ranking events and World Warrior events for the 2020 season. We recognize this may cause difficulties for our tournament operators and production partners, but we strongly believe that this is the best way to protect the community.
 
In place of the previous schedule, Capcom will be introducing 18 online regional tournaments, which kicks off with a tournament in the NA East region on June 6th. The stakes will be high for these events, as the winners from each of the 18 online tournaments will auto qualify for Capcom Cup 2020. In addition to the 18 online winners, the Capcom Cup 2019 Champion (iDom) will be offered a slot at Capcom Cup 2020. The final slot will be awarded to one of the 31 finalists from Capcom Cup 2019 through a community vote, bringing the total to 20 players who will compete to become the Capcom Cup 2020 champion.
