There are a number of relatively unknown entities here from around the globe; it will be interesting to see how they fare in this tournament, up against some of the best recognised players in the world. From the players we are familiar with, Group A looks like the group of death with Laugh and Yamazaki, two strong Ryu players, Yagami from Sweden sporting a souped-up Dhalsim and Ryan Hart, playing a multitude of characters. With an $8,000 first prize, competition in every group is going to be fierce. Second will pay $4,000 and third $2,000.
The group stages begin Thursday July 1st at Disneyland Paris, continuing on Friday. Group playoffs and finals will be held on Saturday. So far there is no information on a live stream.
