Finally, we are happy to announce the final two pro players we are inviting to the event. While we did say that they would be “Team Japan,” due to scheduling issues we had to secure some other candidates. However, we are sure that everyone will be happy with the final choices:
Team International: Infiltration, Ryan Hart
– Twitch will be flying out two of the most experienced international players we have on the scene today. Look for both players to put on a clinic at the event and demonstrate why Street Fighter truly is a worldwide game.
That makes our official pro player line up look like this:
Team Evil Geniuses: Justin Wong, Ricky Ortiz, Eduardo Perez, Kenneth Bradley
Team Southern California: Alex Valle, Jayce the Ace
Team International: Infiltration, Ryan Hart
Remember, these players will be duking it out for a $3,000 prize pool on Thursday! Be sure to check out all the action on twitch.tv/capcomfighters next week.
