Manila Cup 2017 Results

Manila Cup 2017 has concluded and is part of the Capcom Pro Tour as an Asia region event, which means, as with all Asia regional events, the amount of talent stuffed into one room will be incredibly dense with a mixture of established top players and skillful unknowns. Aside from the headlining game, tournaments were also held for Tekken 7, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, Injustice 2, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mortal Kombat X, The King of Fighters XIV, and BlazBlue: Central Fiction.

Streaming was handled by Team Spooky and Playbook PH. As usual, players will be listed in “[sponsor/team name] | [player name] [[characters used]]” format. If you'd like to see the brackets, you can do so here on Challonge.
