“We are supporting the biggest battle held by the Street Fighter V community by collaboration with [two of] the game’s stages. In recent years, more people have woken up to gaming receiving much more attention. We see countless competitors around the world who are showing their talents. Momofuku Ando, the founder of [Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd.], invented the world’s first instant noodles, Cup Noodle, which has been enjoyed by many competitors for being time-saving, allowing for them to hone their skills in their spare time. Cup Noodle wholeheartedly supports Street Fighter League: Pro-JP 2020 and the fiery passion of participating competitors. Hungry To Win!”
