From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2019 Evolution Championship Series, or EVO 2019, was a fighting game event held in Las Vegas from August 2nd to 4th, 2019 as part of the long-running Evolution Championship Series. The event offered tournaments for various video games, including Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, and Dragon Ball FighterZ, as well as the newly-released Soulcalibur VI, Mortal Kombat 11, Samurai Shodown, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; the latter received the most entrants with over 3,500 players participating, making it the largest Super Smash Bros. tournament of all time.
Venue
EVO 2019 was, once again, hosted at the Mandalay Bay resort. THe Mandalay Bay Convention Center hosted the first two days of the event, while the Mandalay Bay Events Center hosted the final day for the fourth consecutive year.
Games
The lineup was announced in February 2019 to have 9 games. Returning from last year are Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Tekken 7, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. New additions are Soulcalibur VI, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st], Samurai Shodown, Mortal Kombat 11, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which effectively replaced Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Notably, this is the first year since EVO 2013 where Super Smash Bros. Melee was not included in the lineup, and was relegated to a side-event.
Participants
Over 9,000 participants were at Evo 2019.
Broadcast
As usual, the tournament was streamed on the streaming site Twitch.tv, broadcast across multiple different streams.
