The Evolution Championship Series is an annual esports event that focuses exclusively on fighting games. In fighting game communities it is commonly referred to as "EVO" or just "Evo". The tournament uses the double elimination format.[5] The tournament is well known, considered to be one of the most (if not the most) important tournaments in competitive Street Fighter and typically contestants will travel from all over the world to participate.
The tournament started as "Battle by the Bay", a 40-man[2] Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Street Fighter Alpha 2 tournament in 1996 in California[1], eventually moving to its recurring venue in Las Vegas. The event changed its name to Evo in 2002. Over time, the tournament grew, recording over one thousand participants in 2009.
Road to EVO
Evolution is positioned at the end of the tournament season, and starting in 2011 it has allocated seeding points to those who place highly in other selected major tournaments around the world. These tournaments are then considered part of the "Road to EVO". At EVO, the group stages are arranged so that players with high seeding points that season do not meet each other until later in the tournament.[4] The organizers also endeavor to prevent people from the same vicinity from facing each other early in the tournament[6]
