Known as the world's largest fighting game tournament, EVO 2018 is right around the corner and you can expect to see some top level action from many of the world's best, including Cygame's own Daigo "Beast" Umehara and Fuudo! ‘EVO 2018 presented by Cygames’, will take place at the fabulous Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on August 3-5, 2018.
As part of the sponsorship, Cygames will host an Esports booth showcasing Cygames Beast, and will also show off its digital card game Shadowverse – giving fighting game fans a chance to check out Japan’s leading esports title. Amongst the feast of official swag, show attendees will even get a chance to become a Shadowverse card themselves thanks to a ‘be a card’
photobooth.
EVO is about more than just winning. Evo is open to anyone, features stations available for relaxed free play, and offers unique opportunities to meet people from different countries and different walks of life who share your passion. Established champions face off against unknown newcomers, and new rivals that might have only talked or fought online meet up and become
old friends. For more information about EVO and sign ups, be sure to check out the official website for details!
