Street Fighter Blink Respawn 2024 presents a high-stakes showdown with two main objectives: to conquer one of Street Fighter 6’s top players, MenaRD, and to secure a coveted spot in Capcom Cup 11.
This tournament, a Capcom Pro Tour (CPT) 2024 Premier qualifier, offers the winner a direct entry into the Capcom Cup Finals, which has drawn fierce competitors from Japan, the U.S., and beyond.
MenaRD’s Dominance and a Battle for Glory
The star attraction of Blink Respawn 2024 is Saul Leonardo “MenaRD” Mena II, the two-time Capcom Cup champion. MenaRD has already qualified for Capcom Cup 11 by winning an earlier qualifier, yet he’s back to compete on home turf in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
As one of the greatest SF6 players and a recent Evo Japan 2024 winner, MenaRD’s presence adds a unique level of excitement. While he’s confident about winning, other players are eager to challenge his dominance, and defeating him could be as exhilarating as winning the Capcom Cup qualification.

The SF6 tournament at Blink Respawn 2024 will be streamed on Capcom Fighters’ YouTube and Twitch channels, and the event will run from November 8 to November 10, with finals scheduled for Sunday.
