The 2016 Capcom Pro Tour has officially run its course and 32 players have qualified to compete for Street Fighter V’s $350,000 prize pool at Capcom Cup.

You can see the full standings on the official CPT site, but due to the nature of its complicated qualification system, it isn’t as easy as 1 to 32 on the list.

Ten players qualified for Capcom Cup directly by winning Premier Events (including Regional Finals.) Another 14 players qualified via the Global Leaderboard and eight more players qualified through Regional Leaderboards, with two players coming from each region.

The potential Capcom Cup bracket should look as follows, with seeding determined by the players’ Global Leaderboard points:

As you can see, Team Razer’s Seon-woo “Infiltration” Lee owns the number one seed thanks to his success through Evo 2016. He will face off against number 32 seed Ray “DR Ray” Rosario, who qualified by winning the Latin American Regional Finals.

However, it should be noted it has not been confirmed whether Felipe “Misterio” Carvacho will not make it to Capcom Cup due to visa issues, thus allowing Kenneth “K-Brad” Bradley to take his spot.

Other notable first round match-ups include a Chun-Li mirror match between Joe “MOV” Egami and Evil Geniuses’ Ricki Ortiz, Daigo Umehara vs Flipside Tactics’ Thomas “Brolynho” Proenca (Daigo has struggled against Necalli players this year), the Ken god Evil Geniuses’ Yusuke Momochi vs Ken upstart Denial Esports’ Chris Tatarian, and a match featuring two long-time FGC veterans, Justin Wong versus HORI’s Naoto Sako.

In case you were wondering, here is a character breakdown of Capcom Cup:

Chun-Li – 6
Ken – 5
Necalli – 4
Ryu – 3
Karin – 3
Cammy – 2
R. Mika – 2
Dhalsim – 2
Guile – 1
FANG – 1
Vega – 1
Alex – 1
Nash – 1

Some players, like Infiltration, NuckleDu, and Nathan “Mister Crimson” Massol, are known for playing multiple characters so the character breakdown could and likely will change at the conclusion of Capcom Cup.

Capcom Cup kicks off December 2 at the Esports Arena in Santa Ana, CA. It then moves to the Anaheim Convention Center on December 3 as part of Sony’s PSX conference.
