Fifteen contestants will qualify from the ranking point leaderboards, with EGX being a crucial event in the calendar.
The EGX Fight Zone ranking event will be one of the most exciting CPT tournament events on the circuit. Seventy-two players from all over the country face-off in USFIV on the main EGX stage, Sunday 27th September. Not only do the top 16 winners receive Capcom Pro Tour ranking points, for the first time this year there will be a £2000 prize pot for the top 3.
All 72 finalists are selected during the EGX Qualification Series, taking place in numerous offline and online qualifiers between now and Sunday 27th September.
