NorCal Regionals 2017 (sometimes shortened as NCR 2017) was a Street Fighter V tournament that took place in Sacramento, California on April 14-16. Being one of the eleven Premier Events of the 2017 Capcom Pro Tour, the winner of the tournament automatically qualified for the Capcom Cup in December 2017. This was the 15th NorCal Regionals event and the second to feature a "death pool" for competitors who failed to register ahead of time. The tournament was won by Victor "Punk" Woodley, who spent much of the final match taunting his opponent NuckleDu.
NorCal Regionals 2017 was hosted in Sacramento, California on April 14-16. Much like in 2016, NorCal Regionals 2017 featured a "death pool" for all competitors that registered on-site rather than in advance. Tournament organizer John Choi stated that this featured returned because "people really liked [having] exciting matches right off the bat." The winner of the 2016 death pool, Martin "Marn" Phan, registered in time, but told ESPN that he planned to de-register himself so he can battle through the death pool again, stating that he wanted to do it every year.
Competitors in NorCal Regionals 2017 included NuckleDu, Tatsuya Haitani, Yusuke Momochi, Justin Wong, Daigo Umehara, Tokido, Fuudo, and Eduardo "PR Balrog" Perez. A few days before NorCal regionals, Evo 2016-winner Lee "Infiltration" Seon-woo announced through Twitter that he had canceled his flight tickets for Sacramento, stating that he was not yet ready to attend Capcom Pro Tour events.
NorCal Regionals also features other fighting game tournaments, such as for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Tekken 7.
