There's always next year (fingers crossed)
Remember when we said we would have a two week lockdown? We were so naive. As you all know, we have been in this two-week lockdown for two years. When was the last time we saw strangers, happy to have a common interest instead of fearing for our health? Either way, the Capcom Cup 2021 is banned.
Just like the Capcom Cup 2020, this year's highlight at Capcom Pro Tour 2021 was defeated by COVID-19. Faultless victory. The eighth cup, which was to take place last year, must take place in 2023. That is, while waiting for the continuation of the plague.
The competition was originally scheduled for February 2022 in the United States. However, due to the health risks of an in-person event, an online contest will be held. While we all wish we could attend an event in person, we'll just have to make do with a virtual event.
Due to the increase in COVID-19 cases and after careful consideration, Capcom once again finds itself in the difficult position of having to cancel #CAPCOMCUP. We will be producing an online season finale similar to last year. #CPT2021 #SFL2021 following details: pic.twitter.com/BwW8YqN9F4

The Street Fighter: World Championship 2021 was also scheduled to take place in February 2022. However, since it was part of the Capcom Cup 2021, this will also be cancelled. An alternate or virtual event has not yet been announced or planned. The Street Fighter event was planned as a competition between the top teams from the Pro US and Pro Japanese leagues.
Street Fighter also celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. COVID-19 is available in Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants.
