'''Evolution 2008''', or simply '''EVO 2008''', was the 7th edition of the [[EVO|Evolution Championship Series]], a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, which took place from August 8th to 10th, 2008 at the {{iw|wikipedia|Tropicana Las Vegas}}.
The '''Evolution Championship Series 2008''', or simply '''EVO 2008''', was a fighting game tournament held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from August 8th to 10th, 2008 at the {{s|wikipedia|Tropicana Las Vegas}}. It was the 7th edition of the [[EVO]] tournament series and featured [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as an official game, replacing Melee from 2007. Over 110 players attended the tournament. CPU's R.O.B. defeated Ken's Marth in grand finals to win the tournament. The tournament was widely criticized for having many items turned on, including the Smash Ball.  


It was the second time EVO featured a Smash game on the official lineup, with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' replacing ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' from 2007. EVO 2008 was criticized harshly by the competitive community for its ruleset which turned on [[item]]s, including the [[Smash Ball]], and many [[stage]]s that were universally banned in competitive play. {{Sm|CPU}} won the tournament, despite not having any prior experience in competitive ''Smash'', after defeating {{Sm|Ken}} in Grand Finals in a victory that was widely attributed to the ruleset.
