'''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 [[EVO 2007 circuit]], which consisted of [[EVO South]], [[EVO North]], [[EVO West]], and [[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 ''[[Melee]]'' tournament before the international release of ''[[Brawl]]'' with 270 players in attendance.

==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. After the tournament many analysts wrote off Mango's win against Mew2King and 3rd place finish as a fluke until his win at [[Pound 3]].
