No Snooze? You Lose! SF6 Tournament “Sleep Fighter” Requires You to Rest

A unique Street Fighter 6 tournament, dubbed "Sleep Fighter," is making waves in Japan. This Capcom-endorsed event, sponsored by SS Pharmaceuticals to promote their sleep aid Drewell, introduces a groundbreaking rule: prioritize sleep or face penalties.

Sleep Points: A New Metric in Esports

The Sleep Fighter tournament is a team-based competition. Three-person teams battle in best-of-three matches, accumulating points for wins and "Sleep Points" based on sleep logged the week prior. Teams must achieve a minimum of 126 hours of collective sleep (six hours per player, per night). Falling short results in a five-point deduction for each deficient hour. The team boasting the most total sleep time earns the privilege of dictating match conditions.

This innovative approach highlights the importance of sleep for peak performance, aligning with SS Pharmaceuticals' "Let's Do the Challenge, Let's Sleep First" campaign. The tournament's website claims it's the first esports event to penalize insufficient sleep.

Event Details and Broadcasts

The Sleep Fighter tournament takes place on August 31st at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo. Capacity is limited to 100 attendees, selected via lottery. For global viewers, the event will be live-streamed on YouTube and Twitch; specific broadcast details will be announced on the official website and Twitter (X) account.

The tournament features a stellar lineup of over a dozen professional players and streamers, including notable names like two-time EVO champion "Itazan" Itabashi Zangief and top SF player Dogura. Get ready for a thrilling blend of competitive gaming and sleep wellness advocacy!
