Did Anyone Ask For A Celebrity 'Street Fighter V' Tournament? Because We're Getting One

TBS! One of the few cable networks still willing to take chances on random chaos is throwing the dice one again and hoping you tune in. They've already had two successful seasons of an eLeague show based around CS:GO, and now they're partnering with Capcom to create a celebrity TV game show based around a Street Fighter V tournament.

The eLeague Street Fighter V Invitational Celebrity Showdown will kick off on April 28 on TBS, there are no real rules out there as to how the tournament is going to work, but we do know that players will compete for a $45k jackpot that will go to a charity of their choice, while the losers will all receive various amounts to go to their charities. Who is on board you may be asking? A couple interesting names that might actually make this worth watching. First of, Shaquille O'Neal! The man who helped bring you one of the worst fighting games of the '90s is a contender. He'll be competing against musician/rapper Lupe Fiasco, soon-t0-be-former WWE wrestler Eva Marie, and NFL running back (currently a free agent) Reggie Bush. Regardless of who wins, it looks like it might be fun to check out. Let's hope it isn't made into a total frankenbite-dramafest reality show as they make their way to the competition. Enjoy the trailer below from B/R eSports.
