EVO 2020’s rather strange series of events has led it through some rather interesting problems. From an in-person event cancelation, to an announcement of the event taking place online, to concerns being raised about netplay, this event’s been through the wringer in May. Now that most of the problems have been addressed, it seems like the show will finally go on.
On that positive note, the team at EVO has also announced that they’re opening registration on June 5th (tomorrow, as of the time of writing). This means that the four open tournaments that were previously scheduled, will be available to the public very soon.
Details About EVO Online Registration
EVO Online’s news has come in the form of telling people various details regarding the registration tomorrow. For starters, the series will have three different regions, and platforms have been revealed, both seen below.
(Author’s notes: MrWiz has stated that he and the EVO team are looking into the Skullgirls platform choice, so it might be subject to change soon. Also, Windows 10 extends to Xbox One players in the case of Killer Instinct.)
Evo Online has 3 regions.
Region 1 = USA, Canada, Mexico
Region 2 = Japan, South Korea
Region 3 = EuropeUnfortunately we can't include many countries outside of these regions due to laws and regulations.
