ELEAGUE will be running their Street Fighter 5 Invitational 2018 event beginning this June. 24 of the game's best competitors from around the world will battle against one another for a prize pool of $250,000.

The organization announced their first-ever reality TV show today, which will lead up to the invitational. The Challenger: Street Fighter 5 will place seven familiar fighting game community members under one roof to compete for a spot in the invitational line up.

We'll be seeing the likes of Commander Jesse, SB|JB, GRPT|Gllty, HZRDS|RobTV, Dayasha, LowTierGod, and SherryJenix compete in Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition. Steve “Tasty Steve” Scott and Stephen “Sajam” Lyon will be the hosts of the show.

In addition to Arcade Edition action, the series will take viewers along with the participants as they experience the greater Atlanta area through unique “Challenge” activities.

The five-part series will kick off on Friday, April 20th at 11 p.m. EDT / PDT. There will be weekly episodes each Friday following the debut, and you can check it all out on TBS.
