We are a step closer to finding out who will qualify for Capcom Cup from a slew of regions. Here's how everyone fared.
Around the world, different regions have held their 4th World Warrior event and the respective tables now look pretty set. The rules of the World Warrior event is that there are five of them and players accumulate points based on their placement in each tournament. At the end of 5 tournaments, the top 8 on the leaderboard play a final regional final with the winner obtaining the right to go to Capcom Cup to win the big bucks.
Below, we'll look at the current state of various regions.
NamikazeExTM was the winner of the World Warrior event taking it over HKDASH after coming from the lower bracket. Namikaze has been dominant with this win being his third in the series and the only one he hasn't won is the one he didn't partake in. He now has 150 points and is guaranteed a spot in the top 8 regional final.

Digital Havoc - World Warrior 2023 - Canada East 4
JOE UMEROGAN is one of the most prominent names out of the Canadian scene and he is doing the job to ensure that he is in Capcom Cup again. He was the winner of the 4th WW tournament taking it over Sayff, another veteran name on the scene. JOE had to work for it though as he lost the first set before rallying and finding the win. This only puts him in third place on the table though as Sayff still sits safely on top.
Nuckledu was the winner of the Carryout Clash defeating BananaKen in the Grand Final. He has so far taken second place twice losing to Punk each time. However, this time, Punk was not in attendance, so it seems Nuckledu was the King in absence of the King. This win puts him in first place sealing his spot in the regional finals.

Versus Masters - World Warrior 2023 - Asia Southeast 4
Xian is a former Evo winner and is also one of the men responsible for one of the biggest FGC scene, the Singaporean scene. In Street Fighter 6, he has shown some incredible form and he has been at the forefront of the World Warrior series. He is also at the top of the table having won three out of the four WW tournaments.
In Japan,Fuudo is the king as he won his second World Warrior event making him the only person to win two World Warrior events. He defeated Nemo in the Grand Finals and with Japan we have the regional final locked in.
In Asia East, Chris Wong was the winner. Chris has been insanely consistent, if a little unlucky in his results so far. He was close to winning the CPT online event, but narrowly lost to NL. In the Singapore tournament, he was on a tear, even defeating Tokido on his way to Grand Final. He had even defeated Gachikun, but couldn't clutch it out at the end. With that, his chances of qualification is slimmer than ever, but he has a huge chance here and will be a deserving entrant into Capcom Cup.
JabhiM is the most well-known name in South Africa and he has already qualified for Capcom Cup. But, he is not letting up in the region and entered for the tournament again and winning meaning he is eligible for the regional final, but will probably not appear for it giving his place to the next ranked player. He defeated Chibi_K to win and keep himself sharp for the upcoming battle.
The Middle East scene is dominated by two men— Big Bird and Angrybird.
The latter has won Evo so he is already in Capcom Cup. So, Big Bird has been the next standout player winning three World Warrior events in a row. More or less guaranteed to make the regional final, he didn't partake in this event, letting others shine. LordG was the winner in this occasion defeating WESS, who we last saw at the Gamers8 Invitational.
In South Korea, with NL already qualified, Leshar is the one blazing the trail and he has won all four of the World Warrior events meaning he is on a whopping 200 points. If regional finals was not a thing, he would already be in Capcom Cup. However, he will now have to prove his dominance once more when the regional finals roll around.

Super Saturdays - World Warrior 2023 - US Midwest 4
In the Midwest the many, many, super talented Street Fighter pros are fighting for a spot in the regional final and for this 4th event, Joey was the winner. He defeated Dual Kevin to give himself a healthy bump in points and place him solidly in a spot for the regional finals. With other notable names like FlashMetroid, JAK, and Brian_F, the regional final is sure to be a lively event.
In the Oceania region, Australia is the major force within the FGC, and the winner of the 4th World Warrior event was none other than the E.Honda user, FREESER. FREESER made a strong impression at the Singapore offline event and was really good. He even gave some backstory to his gamer tag and explained that he used to be considered a free fight and a scrub. But, he persisted and is now one of the top names in the Australian scene. With Travis Styles already in Capcom Cup, FREESER has a strong chance of being the next person to qualify from the region.
This region has been dominated by India who are not a scene we are very familiar with in Street Fighter. The leader here had been BD, but this time, the winner of this event was Shadoken. We will be interested in seeing more of thise scene.
Valmaster was the winner of the last event which continues to solidify him as one of the very best in France. He defeated Kayne who has really come to the fore in Street Fighter 6. But France is full of killers and Valmaster will have to fend off the likes of Mister Crimson, Kilzyou, Luffy, Akainu and so on to make his way to Capcom Cup.
The Central American West is a region with some absolute gems that are a little unknown, but are awesome. TODAKAI is a great example and while he has so far led the way in this region, he was unavailable for this tournament because of commitments to First Attack where he took 3rd place. In his absence, DestroyGodz took the victory and will hope this will help propel him to a win at the regional finals.
Uriel Velorio was the winner in this tournament and is well on his way to fighting for the spot at Capcom Cup. Kusanagi is the current representative of Mexico at Capcom Cup and one of Uriel Velorio, SolVNG, Jazdero among other will join him at the showpiece event next year.
Dookie has already qualified for Capcom Cup, but like JabhiM, is still very interested in messing people's day, so he entered into the tournament and won. This puts him pretty up there in the table even though his spot will eventually go to someone else.
