You Can Become a Millionaire by Winning the Next Capcom Cup | Push Square
Fancy your chances at winning a global Street Fighter 6 competition? If you think you could be the next Daigo Umehara, you should probably know that the next Capcom Cup — which begins this summer with a worldwide tour, running all the way into 2024 — is offering up an unprecedented $1 million to the eventual champion. Yep, win this thing and you could become an instant millionaire.
