ASIA Premier 2019 Results: Japan’s VICTRIX|Momochi Wins!

Super Premier Event: ASIA Premier 2019 Results

The second of three Super-Premier events for this season, ASIA Premier 2019, is now concluded and we have the results! The event was held in Chiba, Japan from September 14th through 15th. It was a sensational event with over 1,000 players from around the world participating. Being a Super Premier, up to 1,000 points was up for grabs for first place. This is enough points to earn yourself a qualifying spot in Capcom Cup this December.

The winner of the first Asia region Super Premier is Japan’s VICTRIX|Momochi, who defeated fellow Japanese legend Mago in Grand Finals 3-1. Momochi has already had a great season up to this point holding the 20th place position on the global standings prior to this event. His previous best performance was a 2nd place finish at the first Premier Event of the season, Final Round in mid-March. He also has several top 16 finishes at other Premier Events and earned 9th place at the season’s first Super Premier, Evo! Momochi went through the entire tournament in the Winners Bracket. Momochi already held a strong position to get into Capcom Cup but pocketing 1,000 points from this win assures his qualification.

Coming in at second place is Japan’s Mago. We said in our recap of last week’s PPL Fighter Masters Premier Event that Mago would possibly make a late season run for points to get into Capcom Cup and so far that’s holding true. He earned 3rd place during that event and this week he did even better. This accomplishment is even more impressive than last week due to this being a Super Premier with the increased level of competition that brings. Mago got all the way to Winners Finals before he was defeated by Momochi 1-3. He would get the rematch against Momochi in Grand Finals but fell short.

NASR|AngryBird is having a great 2019 season with some runway left to go. He was sitting at 16th place on the Global Leaderboard with a 1st place finish at the Brussels Challenge Major Edition Ranking Event in late April as well as two high finishes at Premier Events (3rd at The Mixup in April and 4th at VSFighting in late July) already on the record. The 300 points for 3rd place earned here is certainly enough to secure his spot at Capcom Cup. AngryBird took his first loss to Momochi in Winners semi-finals 1-3 and was finally eliminated in Losers Finals by Mago in a close 2-3 set.
