If we look at the scale of the FGC events, the top-3 will be taken by EVO, Esports World Cup and World Championships from the publishers of the game. Outside of this S-tier, there are many big events, and one of them is CEO. The 2024 edition of the event gathered almost 2,700 participants across 27 different brackets.

The two biggest brackets of the event were Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 tournaments. The former was a Master Tier event at the Tekken World Tour. While the victory doesn't guarantee you a spot in the TWT Final tournament, you greatly increase your chances to get there. While the one and only Arslan Ash did not compete in Florida, his compatriot Atif, who is the 2022 Tekken World Tour champion, won the event with his unstoppable Dragunov. As a side bonus, the Pakistani player also received an invitation to the Esports World Cup.

In the Street Fighter 6 bracket, Punk used three different characters and went almost undefeated. After a loss to DCQ in the upper bracket finals, he easily came back and claimed the championship.

As for the Guilty Gear -Strive- and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, both these brackets were given a gold AWT status and brought 100 valuable points to UMISHO and Elsa, respectively.

As for the other brackets, the legend of fighting games, Justin Wong, won the Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike bracket.
