Kakeru wins Capcom Cup 11 & $1 million
Over the course of five days from March 5th to 9th, the Ryogoku Kokugikan Arena in Japan hosted the final rounds of both the Capcom Cup 11 Finals and the Street Fighter League World Championship 2024. A variety of skilled players who had earned their place throughout the previous year were present, including Tokido, MenaRD, EndingWalker, among others. In a fierce battle at the end of the tournament, Japan’s Kakeru and Chile’s Blaz emerged as the final two competitors.
The young 15-year-old phenom, Blaz, demonstrated impressive determination against a tough lineup of opponents with his powerful Ryu game. However, Kakeru’s JP character proved to be too formidable in the end, securing a 3-1 victory over Blaz and claiming the championship title for Capcom Cup 11. As a result, Kakeru walked away with a grand prize of $1 million USD.
