'''Evolution 2007''', officially '''EVO World 2007''' or simply known as '''EVO 2007''', was the 6th edition of the [[EVO|Evolution Championship Series]], a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada,  which took place from August 24th-26th, 2007, at the {{s|wikipedia|Green Valley Ranch}}. It was the final tournament of the {{Trn|EVO 2007 circuit}}, which consisted of {{Trn|EVO South}}, {{Trn|EVO North}}, {{Trn|EVO West}}, and {{Trn|EVO East}}. The top 8 finishers for each of the previous events were automatically qualified for the bracket round at EVO World.<ref>http://smashboards.com/threads/evo-east-the-east-coast-championships-may-25-27-2007-all-information-updated.100616/#post-2301847</ref> It was the largest ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' tournament before the international release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' with 270 players in attendance.

==Stagelist==
* Starters: [[Battlefield]], [[Final Destination]], [[Dream Land]], [[Yoshi's Story]], [[Fountain of Dreams]], [[Pokémon Stadium]]
* Counterpicks: [[Mute City]], [[Green Greens]], [[Rainbow Cruise]], [[Kongo Jungle 64]], [[Brinstar]], [[Poké Floats]], [[Corneria]], [[Jungle Japes]]

No stage striking provision was present in the documented ruleset.

==Tournament summary==
Some notable upsets occurred during this tournament. {{Sm|Mango}}, who at the time was a {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} [[main]] on the come up, beat {{Sm|Mew2King}} in pools, then considered to be the best player in the world. Mew2King then lost to {{Sm|Chillin}} in the losers top 8 qualifier to finish at an underwhelming 9th place. Mango continued his run by upsetting {{Sm|Ken}} in winners-semis. He then lost to {{Sm|HugS}} in winners finals and Ken in a losers finals rematch to finish at 3rd place. Ken, after getting upset by Mango, made a losers run beating {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|PC Chris}}, Mango, and HugS in 2 sets of grand finals to win the tournament. This became Ken's final major victory, and was also one of the closest a {{SSBM|Samus}} player came to winning a major; since then, this placement has only been tied once, with {{Sm|Duck}} being the runner-up at {{Trn|Full Bloom 3}}. After the tournament, many analysts wrote off Mango's win against Mew2King and 3rd place finish as a fluke until his win at {{Trn|Pound 3}}.
