Wondering if the announcements will only be about the Pro Tour or some juicy new details or confirmations about SFV

Mike and Peter are pretty terrible when they're together.

nvm
it has always been like this since last year
And having ECT back seems strange.
There are 12 premiere qualifiers and only 11 listed in that link.
Safe to say the writer just forgot to include CEO.
I hope so. That line is the best. But I kind of expect them to give him a michael jackson voice.

He mentioned 12 premier events and there's only 10 there, so I'm guessing it's just missing from the page along with another event-- my guess being one in Latin America since that's the only region that isn't represented in the premier category.
Maybe Mike Ross will turn heel this year? It could breathe new life into the business. No, he's probably selling too much merch for Vince to be ok with it
But Mike's strength is that he can seamlessly transition between the two
EVO is the 11th.

I thought I heard them mentioning EVO being "its own entity." It's also listed separately on the redbull page. But yeah maybe it's EVO.

Also Mexico is part of North America. But yeah, I think they just made some arbitrary distinctions to even out regions/competition.
at least we'll get hype mic blowouts

Looks like their is going to be plenty of good tourneys to stream this tour. Should be hype
Hasn't this year shown that people can go to most anywhere?

No more traveling outside of your region for easy points anymore. Either you win the tournament or you have to keep going to make it count. This might discourage less internationals at ranking events but it guarantees more international presence at Capcom Cup whether people think the best players are there or not. I do believe that will be true to a degree, but I think it's a nice experiment by Capcom to try and include more international presence.
It's like when someone gets near an explosion in a movie and they only hear a ringing in their ears and everything's in slow-mo
No travelling? I think they should restrict that for Qualifying events instead
More internationals is always good

You have to travel a lot more than before because of the Regional Qualifier. There's more chances to qualify though as a trade off. Even if you lose the RQ, if you have enough points, you can get in through one of the point slots.
Kind of.
It's like two point columns. One regional and one global. If you win 20 pts in NA and 10 in Latin America, you have 30 global points....but only 20 for NA and 10 for LA.
I think.
It's set up in a way that discourages international travel for the regional events. You need to spike one if you're an outsider to get on a regional CPT.
That makes more sense.
It still gives incentive for international players to farm a specific region (like let's say Tokido just enters all the Latin American tournaments and gets the highest region points for Latin America to get into Capcom Cup).
