Evo 2020 has been canceled due to the covid-19 pandemic. The annual fighting game event was previously scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, but will instead shift its focus to online competition. It’s currently unknown if the official lineup will remain intact.

The Evolution Championship Series has revealed the official 2020 lineup. This year’s event will include obvious choices like Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as well as the return of community favorite Marvel vs. Capcom 2, among others. Fighting games!

Leonardo “MkLeo” Lopez is Evo 2019's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate champion. He barely survived grand finals opponent Gavin “Tweek” Dempsey, eventually resetting the bracket and solidifying his reputation as the strongest player in this relatively young game moving forward.
