EVO 2015
July 17-19, 2015
Las Vegas, NV
I don't think anyone ever made a thread for EVO 2015 here in tournament listings, so here it is!
The Evolution Championship Series (Evo for short) represents the largest and longest-running fighting game tournaments in the world. This year will mark the third consecutive time that Melee is featured as a main game, and the first time that Smash 4 is featured as a main game.
- LOCATION -

Bally's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Main Ballroom
3645 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Stay inside the venue by booking at the Bally's hotel, or alternatively, the Paris connected in the same building series.
Since the Las Vegas Airport (LAS) is fairly close to the venue, those who fly in are recommended to take a cab.

- SCHEDULE -
http://evo.shoryuken.com/schedule/
Usually posted a few weeks before the tourney. Based on EVO's scheduling history and turnout expectations, all Smashers should expect to arrive no later than 8am Friday if participating in the events, and expect to leave no earlier than 6pm Sunday if spectating Top 8 finals.
According to Mr. Wizard, one of the Smash games, Melee or Smash 4, will have their Top 8 finals on Sunday, while the other will have their Top 8 finals on Saturday. This will most likely be determined by turnout size. Street Fighter and Marvel are likely to take up Sunday evening with their Top 8 finals, so expect the higher-attended Smash game to have its Top 8 finals featured on Sunday afternoon.
