Evolution 2017, or simply EVO 2017, is the ongoing 16th edition of the Evolution Championship Series, a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is scheduled to take place on July 14th to 16th, 2017, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. It was announced on January 24th, by EVO's tournament director Joey "Mr. Wizard" Cuellar, that both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U would be featured as official games on the EVO 2017 game lineup. The ninth game was chosen via a donation drive with the proceeds gone to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Disney XD channel will be broadcasting Smash 4 Top 8 live on Sunday evening, having been confirmed by a tweet from the official Disney account. The Smash 4 Top 8 will also be broadcasted live on the ESPNU channel. These are the first two instances of a Smash 4 tournament being televised on a platform other than the Internet.[1][2][3]

Trivia

  • Bear, who is the main TO for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, was invited as a guest during the EVO 2017 lineup announcement to comment about Smash 4 and the fixes the staff at EVO would do in order to improve on the title's tournament performance from the previous year.
  • This will also mark the first time that the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U finals will be held on Sunday, and the Super Smash Bros. Melee finals will be held on Saturday.
  • This is the fifth consecutive appearance for Super Smash Bros. Melee at EVO (sixth overall), as well being the third consecutive appearance for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
  • EVO 2017 is the 10 year anniversary of Melee's original appearance at EVO 2007.
  • Hungrybox was yellow carded following his set with SFAT due to being coached when the rules disallow coaching after round 2 pools.
