Arneb Expands Street Fighter 6 Division

Arneb, a prominent e-sports team managed by LeGAME Co., has made headlines by signing two talented female players, syado (しゃど) and tpz (ちぽじ), as part of their new Street Fighter 6 division. This initiative, which began in March, aims to promote greater female participation in e-sports and foster the industry's growth.

Both syado and tpz are set to showcase their skills at the highly anticipated `EVO Japan 2026`, which will take place from May 1st to 3rd at the Tokyo Big Sight. This event is recognized as the largest fighting game tournament in Japan, featuring titles such as Street Fighter 6, The King of Fighters: City of the Wolves, 2XKO, and Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Notably, the Street Fighter 6 tournament has attracted over 7,000 entrants, marking it as a significant gathering within the EVO series. Participants will compete for a total prize pool of 30 million yen.

The decision to create a female division within Arneb is rooted in a vision to expand the horizon of e-sports and encourage more women to engage in competitive gaming. Syado has previously demonstrated her commitment to this cause by organizing multiple community tournaments, further motivating female players to enter the esports arena. On the other hand, tpz has a noteworthy history in the field, having previously defeated a member of a past team at a significant event, showcasing her competitiveness and experience.

As they step into this new chapter with Arneb, fans can catch glimpses of syado and tpz donned in their new team uniforms. The commitment from Arneb to provide robust support during their journey signifies a strong investment in their talent and potential.

EVO Japan 2026 will not only feature the Street Fighter 6 championship but also provide an opportunity for syado and tpz to gain invaluable experience by participating in various international tournaments.
