EVO Online has released what countries and games are available to register for along with the release date.
The announcement informed that the following countries will be eligible to participate in the online major tournament:
- United States
- Canada
- Mexico
- Japan
- South Korea
- All European countries
They can register for the following open bracket tournaments:
- Killer Instinct
- Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath
- Skullgirls 2nd Encore
- Them’s Fightin’ Herds
Registrants can enter for free but those who contribute more than $25 will receive a commemorative EVO badge and lanyard. And 100% of the proceeds will be going to Project HOPE, a crisis response organization, that will be helping to fight the current global pandemic.
EVO Online is the answer for the cancellation of the Evolution Championship Series, an event that is practically considered the “Olympics of Fighting Games”. The event takes place every year in Las Vegas, Nevada and is one of the biggest in-person fighting game events of the year. Due to the global pandemic, the event was forced to shutdown. So the EVO staff has offered to set up this online tournament with games that are known for the excellent roll back style net code that they offer.
Registration will be open for the online tournament on June 5, 2020.
