You can watch the next event on , June 22 at 8 pm central time. The league is scheduled for three broadcasts a week: Monday, Thursday and Friday. The start time is 8 pm central time for all broadcasts.
The league is currently in its round-robin phase. All players play one another during the round-robin portion of the tournament. After the round-robin phase is complete, the top 8 players will compete in a double-elimination tournament to determine the league champion.
The match winners are determined by the first player to win two games in a best of three games format. As with other Street Figther V tournaments, only the losing payer of a game can change characters for the next game, if the match has not yet been decided. The winning player of a game must keep the same character in the next game of a match.
The June 19 broadcast featured 9 total matches.
Here’s a recap of the first match of the night. In the first match Aza_belmont (playing Ibuki) took on Rob_Mty (playing Guile). The first round of the match started with Aza_belmont starting aggressively on the attack. But not to be outdone, Rob_Mty countered with an offensive plan that saw him come from behind to take the round in a close contest. Aza_Belmont got out to a big lead in the second round as he continued to employ an aggressive strategy that earned him the second round. Rob_Mty got off to a great start in the final round of the first game, before Aza_Belmont launched a comeback but Rob_Mty was able to clinch the first game with a suplex slam knockout.
