Every single year, the best of the best in the fighting game world flock to the sparkle and shine of the Las Vegas desert to duke it out in “the biggest, hypest, and most prestigious fighting game tournament in the world” until only ONE is crowned KING! That’s right, I’m talking about the Evolution Championship Series! This July, players from all over the world will make the trek to Nevada to test their skill in gaming combat! When I say all over the world, I mean All Over The World! From the islands of Puerto Rico to the pacific island of Japan, from the jungles of Brazil to the urban jungles of New York. And now, yours truly from sunny Southern California, will be joining the mix! I have always wanted to go to the Evolution Championship Series, but for some reason I’ve never gone. I made the decision this past weekend during the Lunar New Year that that was going to change; my Lunar New Year’s resolution is to take part in EVO 2017!
I GOT NEXT!
The Evolution Championship Series, or EVO for short, will be held in grand Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas and will be a 3 day event starting on Friday, July 14th and finishing off that Sunday, July 16th. I’ve already registered for the event, so now all I’ve got to do is train! The games that will be showcased at this year’s event are:
- Street Fighter 5
- BlazBlue: Central Fiction
- Injustice 2
- Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator, Rev2
- King Of Fighters XIV
- Super Smash Bros. Melee
- Super Smash Bros. for WiiU
- Tekken 7
- and one last game which will be determined through voting
