How can I watch the Capcom Cup Finals?
Capcom is going to be streaming all of the games on its main Twitch channel, CapcomFighters, so it will be very easy to keep up with all of the matches and player interviews going on throughout the weekend.
All of the side events will also be streamed to the main page, which is why the schedule was laid out to have the Street Fighter League World Championship occur after top 32. This will keep the content on one channel so no one has to manage multiple streams, like Evo 2019.
Where can I keep track of my favorite games and players?
Smash.gg has all of the brackets available for viewing right now, which will be constantly updated as the event goes on. Since the event is only 32 players deep, you should be able to open up which bracket is currently live and see how each player is doing.
