The new European competition shows a slightly different format from the US and Japan editions. Here is everything you need to know.

For its first season within the fifth season of the Street Fighter League Pro Japan and US, the Street Fighter League: Pro EUROPE 2022 is based on a two-legged “home and away” format in 4v4 team  confrontation.

 

Each of the 6 teams of 4 players will thus play each set twice, once at “home”, once “away”.

 

Teams in the “home” position have the advantage as they will be able to announce the order of their players and the characters they choose just a few moments before the start of the set, the team playing “away” having to provide this information in advance.
Each match between two teams is split in 3 games : 2 “best of 3” (BO3) 1v1 battles games that grant 10 points each to the winning team, and 1 “best of 5” 1v1 battles game that gives 20 points to the team that wins 3 battles or more. In the end, the team with the most points at the end of the 3 games wins the set.

In case of a tie, a final 1v1 battle in BO1 will give 5 points to the winning team.

 

The total points determine the ranking of the 6 teams until the playoffs, where only the first 4 teams remain to compete for a place in final.
