Cooperation Cup 18 and Beat Tribe Cup 18 results
Update: This story has been updated with final results for both events.
This weekend, the first DreamHack Japan is taking place and at it we have some extravagant fighting game events going on, most notably the 18th Cooperation Cup for Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike as well as the 18th Beat Tribe Cup for Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown.
Notable players participating include Victrix|Momochi, Haitani, Deshiken, Nuki, Kokujin, MOV, RX, Boss, Hayao, Sho, Raoh, Mester, Kindevu, Kuni, Pierrot, Tominaga, Higa, Genki, KSK, Sugiyama and of course many more.
Although the headline of this story focuses on Cooperation Cup due to it being a bigger deal outside of Japan, we will also be including the results for the Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Shodown Beat Tribe Cup in this story, so rest assured that all of your fighting game needs for this weekend will be covered.
Both of these events are played in a 5v5 format, so every entry is made with 5 players teaming together to try and grab the ultimate glory at the end of the road.
There's no shortage of entrants either — Cooperation Cup lands at a whopping 85 teams, meaning that 425 players have entered the competition. Even then, the Beat Tribe Cup manages to outdo that number with 125 teams signed up, thereby totaling 630 players in the event.
The Japanese stream is being done at Game Newton with an English stream hosted by Majin Obama.
