The Street Fighter League in Japan has expanded further this year and is now incorporating 12 different teams in its roster.
These 12 teams have been split up into 2 different groups where they will battle it out in the classic points format from prior years, and once the groups have ended the top 3 teams in each group will advance to a final bracket format where the 1st place teams have a bye.
This bracket will play out until only one team remains as the true champions of Japan and will then advance to the World Championship at the next Capcom Cup.
As usual, teams will pick 3 players froim their 4-person roster for each game with the first two sets being first-to-2 and being worth 10 points and the final set being first-to-3 and worth 20 points. Home and Away rules still apply, where the Away team must reveal their player order in advance, but each matchup will happen twice meaning that teams will get the opportunity to be the Home team in each matchup once as well.
Streaming is being done at Capcom Fighters JP.
