Evo is getting five more regional events and a new world championship: here's what's good, what's bad, and what matters
Evo, the largest fighting game tournament series, announced an expansion with five new regional events in China, Brazil, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico, alongside a new World Championship requiring mastery of multiple games. The Qiddiya Investment Company, owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, is behind this expansion, aiming to support local communities while facing scrutiny over sportswashing and potential dilution of the Evo brand's prestige.
