Smug Wins Capcom Pro Tour North America East 2

Most regions in the series Capcom Pro Tour have two events, so Street Fighter V players can try their luck and prove their skills twice. For the Western part of North America, the first such tournament happened on August 15-16, where Nephew became the winner and Punk surprisingly lost in the Top 16 part. Esports fighting professionals from the Eastern North America played their first CPT on June 20-21, and DR Mandrake claimed the victory. The final qualifier for this region took place on August 29-30. Have you watched it?
