'''Evolution 2013''', or simply '''EVO 2013''', was the 12th edition of the [[EVO|Evolution Championship Series]], a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, which took place on July 12th to 14th, 2013, at the {{s|wikipedia|Paris Las Vegas}} Hotel & Casino. It was the largest Smash tournament of 2013 and currently stands as [[List of largest Smash tournaments|one of the largest to date]], with 709 entrants for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

It was the largest Smash tournament of 2013 and broke the record for the [[List of largest Smash tournaments|largest Smash tournament]] at the time, with 709 entrants for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. EVO 2013 also had twice the entrants as the previous largest ''Melee'' tournament, {{Trn|Pound 4}}.


Originally, ''Melee'' was not to be a featured game at EVO. However, when looking for an 8th game to add to the roster, the EVO staff held a donation drive for breast cancer research, wherein the game community that donated the most money to the drive would have their game featured as an official game at EVO. Although there was stiff competition from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Skullgirls}}'' community, a massive push from the [[Melee It On Me]] podcast staff resulted in the Smash community raising [https://wepay.com/donations/243970321 nearly $95,000] by the final day of the donation drive.

A particular event that sparked outrage among the entire gaming community was when [[Nintendo]] attempted to block streaming for ''Melee'' at EVO a few days before the tournament was set to begin.

The tournament is now known as a landmark event and a major turning point in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee in competitive play|''Melee'' history]]. It marked the beginning of an explosive rise in the game's popularity, and ushered in an era that featured significantly increased turnout and more new tournaments hosted than ever before. EVO marked the beginning of the [[Platinum Age]], in which ''Melee'' transitioned from a largely grassroots scene to a more professional "eSport."

==Tournament summary==
EVO 2013 was {{Sm|Mang0}}'s first supermajor victory since {{Trn|Pound 4}} in 2010; after losing to {{Sm|Wobbles}} in winners' quarters, he went on an extended losers run, defeating {{Sm|SFAT}}, {{Sm|Ice}}, {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}}, {{Sm|Armada}}, and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} to make it to losers' side of grand finals; he then defeated Wobbles in two sets of grands to win the tournament. Wobbles also went on an impressive run in 2nd place, defeating {{Sm|Shroomed}}, Mang0, Dr. PeePee, and Hungrybox en route to grand finals. His performance at EVO has become one of the most well-known "Cinderella runs" in the game's history, having defeated three of the [[Five Gods]] using the Ice Climbers, considered below the standards of a top tier character. This was also the first supermajor since {{Trn|Viva La Smashtaclysm}} in 2007 where at least one of the players in grand finals was not a member of the Five Gods.
Armada had initially announced his retirement from competing in early 2013, but decided to attend EVO regardless; he was defeated by Dr. PeePee and Mang0, finishing 4th, his lowest placing at a North American tournament since Pound 4.
 
The winners' finals set between Wobbles and Hungrybox became particularly infamous. Wobbles defeated Hungrybox 2-1, but after game 3, neither player knew that the set had ended, as both assumed that winners' finals was a best-of-five set. Livestream footage shows a EVO founder Tom Cannon walking up to inform both players that the set was over. Hungrybox later stated that the event had been advertised as having best-of-five sets for winners' and losers' finals, but the TOs changed the set count at the last minute.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUU0Yur8cIo|title=Hungrybox reacts to his winners' finals set}}</ref>
 
Mang0's set-winning {{mvsub|Fox|SSBM|up smash}} [[roll]] read vs. Hungrybox in losers' finals has become one of the most well-known moments in competitive ''Melee'' history.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFQpI660UvM|title=Most Iconic Moments in Melee History}}</ref>

In actuality, Fiction defeated Darkrain and proceeded to lose to Axe, while Lord lost to Shroomed.

Evolution 2013, or simply EVO 2013, was the 12th edition of the Evolution Championship Series, a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, which took place on July 12th to 14th, 2013, at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. It was the largest Smash tournament of 2013 and broke the record for the largest Smash tournament at the time, with 709 entrants for Super Smash Bros. Melee. EVO 2013 also had twice the entrants as the previous largest Melee tournament, Pound 4.

Originally, Melee was not to be a featured game at EVO. However, when looking for an 8th game to add to the roster, the EVO staff held a donation drive for breast cancer research, wherein the game community that donated the most money to the drive would have their game featured as an official game at EVO. Although there was stiff competition from the Skullgirls community, a massive push from the Melee It On Me podcast staff resulted in the Smash community raising nearly $95,000 by the final day of the donation drive.

The tournament is now known as a landmark event and a major turning point in Melee history. It marked the beginning of an explosive rise in the game's popularity, and ushered in an era that featured significantly increased turnout and more new tournaments hosted than ever before. EVO marked the beginning of the Platinum Age, in which Melee transitioned from a largely grassroots scene to a more professional "eSport."

A particular event that sparked outrage among the entire gaming community was when Nintendo attempted to block streaming for Melee at EVO a few days before the tournament was set to begin. However, because of extreme community backlash, Nintendo retracted the ban hours later. It was later revealed that Nintendo had also attempted to shut down the Melee portion of the tournament altogether.

However, the tournament proceeded, and Melee joined such games as Super Street Fighter IV and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on the main stage. For commentary on the main stage, Prog was joined by famed Street Fighter commentator James Chen.

Tournament summary[edit]

EVO 2013 was Mang0's first supermajor victory since Pound 4 in 2010; after losing to Wobbles in winners' quarters, he went on an extended losers run, defeating SFAT, Ice, Dr. PeePee, Armada, and Hungrybox to make it to losers' side of grand finals; he then defeated Wobbles in two sets of grands to win the tournament. Wobbles also went on an impressive run in 2nd place, defeating Shroomed, Mang0, Dr. PeePee, and Hungrybox en route to grand finals. His performance at EVO has become one of the most well-known "Cinderella runs" in the game's history, having defeated three of the Five Gods using the Ice Climbers, considered below the standards of a top tier character. This was also the first supermajor since Viva La Smashtaclysm in 2007 where at least one of the players in grand finals was not a member of the Five Gods. Armada had initially announced his retirement from competing in early 2013, but decided to attend EVO regardless; he was defeated by Dr. PeePee and Mang0, finishing 4th, his lowest placing at a North American tournament since Pound 4.

The winners' finals set between Wobbles and Hungrybox became particularly infamous. Wobbles defeated Hungrybox 2-1, but after game 3, neither player knew that the set had ended, as both assumed that winners' finals was a best-of-five set. Livestream footage shows a EVO founder Tom Cannon walking up to inform both players that the set was over. Hungrybox later stated that the event had been advertised as having best-of-five sets for winners' and losers' finals, but the TOs changed the set count at the last minute.[1]

Mang0's set-winning up smash roll read vs. Hungrybox in losers' finals has become one of the most well-known moments in competitive Melee history.[2]

Trivia[edit]

  • Taylor Hicks, winner of the fifth season of American Idol, tied for 257th place for the Melee tournament.
  • Three matches that were played in Losers' were not accurately reflected in the bracket; in Quarter-Finals Pool I57, the bracket shows that Darkrain defeated Fiction and proceeded to lose to Shroomed, while Axe defeated Lord. In actuality, Fiction defeated Darkrain and proceeded to lose to Axe, while Lord lost to Shroomed. Due to how the brackets work, this seems to have been the players accidentally playing the wrong matches rather than any actual fault of the bracket (with the exception of the incorrect result between Fiction and Darkrain).
