A unique Street Fighter 6 tournament in Japan is prioritizing sleep! The "Sleep Fighter" tournament demands participants prioritize rest for optimal performance. Let's delve into the details.
Japan's "Sleep Fighter" SF6 Tournament: Sleep is Key
This Capcom-backed event, organized by SS Pharmaceuticals to promote their sleep aid Drewell, introduces a novel concept to esports competition.
The Sleep Fighter tournament is a team-based competition. Three-person teams battle in best-of-three matches to accumulate points. Winning isn't the only way to score; teams also earn "Sleep Points" based on their collective sleep hours.
A crucial element: Team members must log at least six hours of sleep nightly for the week leading up to the tournament. Teams failing to reach a total of 126 sleep hours face a five-point penalty for each hour short. The team with the most total sleep time gains a significant advantage – they get to choose the tournament's match conditions!
SS Pharmaceuticals highlights the importance of sleep for peak performance with their campaign, "Let's Do the Challenge, Let's Sleep First," aiming to raise sleep awareness in Japan. The Sleep Fighter tournament is officially the first esports event to penalize insufficient sleep.
The Sleep Fighter tournament takes place on August 31st at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo. Limited to 100 attendees (lottery-based), the event will be livestreamed on YouTube and Twitch for global audiences. Specific broadcast details will be announced on the official tournament website and Twitter (X) account.
The tournament features a roster of prominent professional players and streamers, including two-time EVO champion "Itazan" Itabashi Zangief and top SF player Dogura, promising a thrilling blend of competitive gaming and sleep wellness advocacy.
