EVO 2014 was a fighting game tournament held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from July 11th to 13th, 2014. It featured Melee as a game once again, being the successor to the previous year's EVO 2013.
The tournament was the largest Melee singles tournament of all time (and the largest Smash tournament for any individual game), with 970 entrants in total, surpassing the record of 709 entrants set by EVO 2013 the previous year. EVO 2014 notably featured Nintendo, the publisher for the Super Smash Bros. series, as a sponsor, with a speech given by Reggie Fils-Aimé, President of Nintendo of America; this was in stark contrast to Nintendo's attempt to shut down Melee at EVO 2013 a year earlier. In addition, EVO was the last tournament to feature Prog as a livestream commentator, who retired from commentating due to health issues; as a result, he was presented the Cannon Award in his honor for his service to the Smash community.
Before Top 8 for Melee began at EVO, Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aimé wished the remaining professional smashers good luck in a YouTube video, thanking them (as well as all other Melee participants) for their dedication to the Super Smash Bros. series and their participation in the Super Smash Bros. Invitational.
