EVOLUTION CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (EVO) 2017
The Evolution Championship Series (EVO) 2017 is coming up this weekend, so clear your schedule and grab your popcorn! EVO is the biggest single event of the year with more than two thousand players from all over the world taking part! Most big players from all regions competing in one big event is exciting on its own, but what makes EVO so fun to watch is the unknown. Each year there are players who you have never heard of that upset professional players and make names for themselves. Last year it was Japan’s YOUDEAL|Yukadon, who had only placed in one Ranking Event prior to EVO 2016, who surprised almost everyone to take 3rd place. Who will it be this year? Who will falter in Pools and who will rise to the Top 8? Who will be this year’s EVO 2017 Champion? Tune in to find out!
