Booce Lee secures Capcom Cup berth with runner-up finish at CEO
A winners-side run through Orlando puts Booce Lee one game from the title and earns him a place at Capcom Cup 13.
Booce Lee is headed to Capcom Cup 13.
Competing as ONIC | Booce_Lee at CEO 2026, the Terry specialist finished second in Street Fighter 6 after advancing undefeated to Grand Finals and pushing VARREL | Tokido through two full five-game sets.
CEO 2026 took place August 14-16 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida. Street Fighter 6 was an official Capcom Pro Tour 2026 Premier event, played on PlayStation 5 under a double-elimination format. Matches became first-to-three once the competition reached Top 8.
From Round 2 onward, the official bracket records Booce victories over Docmorales24, takepi, VARREL | Mizuha and G8S/Hit Box | Kawano. His closest test came at the start of Top 8, where he defeated Falcons | Craime 3-2 in winners semifinals.
Booce then beat Tokido 3-1 in winners final to secure his place in Grand Finals. Tokido fought back through the losers bracket and had to defeat Booce twice to take the championship. Both sets went the distance: Tokido won 3-2 to reset the bracket, then survived another 3-2 set to claim the title.
The result also produced a major competitive milestone. Premier winners receive direct qualification to Capcom Cup 13. Because Tokido had already qualified, Capcom officially awarded CEO’s direct berth to runner-up Booce Lee.
For Bandits Gaming, the result arrives ahead of Street Fighter League AMERICAS 2026, where Booce will compete alongside Noah The Prodigy, Psycho and Enzo the Hokage. He left Orlando with a confirmed place among the 48 competitors heading to Capcom Cup 13.
