A unique Street Fighter 6 tournament in Japan prioritizes sleep! The "Sleep Fighter" tournament demands participants prioritize rest for optimal performance. Let's delve into the details of this intriguing competition.
Japan's "Sleep Fighter" SF6 Tournament: Sleep is Key
This official Capcom-backed event, organized by SS Pharmaceuticals to promote their sleep aid Drewell, introduces a novel twist to competitive gaming.
Sleep Points: A New Metric for Victory
Sleep Fighter is a team-based tournament (three players per team). Teams earn points through match wins (best-of-three format) and "Sleep Points." In the week leading up to the tournament, each team member must log at least six hours of sleep nightly. Falling short of the 126-hour total results in a five-point penalty per deficient hour. The team with the most accumulated sleep time gets to choose the tournament's match conditions.
Promoting Healthy Sleep Habits
SS Pharmaceuticals aims to highlight the importance of sleep for peak performance with their "Let's Do the Challenge, Let's Sleep First" campaign. The Sleep Fighter tournament is reportedly the first esports event to penalize insufficient sleep.
Tournament Details and Viewing Options
The Sleep Fighter tournament takes place August 31st at Ryogoku KFC Hall Tokyo. Attendance is limited to 100 lottery-selected individuals. However, fans worldwide can watch the live stream on YouTube and Twitch. Specific broadcast details will be announced on the official tournament website and Twitter (X) account.
Top Players Participate
The tournament boasts a stellar lineup of professional players and streamers, including two-time EVO champion "Itazan" Itabashi Zangief and top SF player Dogura, among others. Get ready for a day of intense competition and a focus on sleep wellness!
