Capcom Cup champ stomps Juri swarm to win Street Fighter 6s first Major

A champion has been crowned in the inaugural major tournament for Street Fighter 6 at CEO 2023 in Daytona Beach, Florida, with veteran Saul Leonardo “MenaRD” Mena II claiming victory over Alan “Nephew” Sun on June 25.

The hotly-anticipated fighting game hit the global stage earlier in the month, with the game’s true leap into the competitive spotlight coming at CEO 2023. Over 1,000 players hit the convention vying to become the first SF6 champion, but in the end, it was the reigning Capcom Cup champion who stood above all at the end.
