Ever since PlayStation and Sony made the big move to acquire the Evo Championship Series back in March, the world has been waiting for what comes next. With August fast approaching, Evo 2021 will soon be upon us. To get the community and fans excited, PlayStation will be hosting several open-format fighting game tournaments on PS4 as part of the Evo Community Series before the actual showcase event.
Announced in a new blog post, the Evo Community Series will see three smaller-scale competitions. This will be the perfect place for fans to start feeling the hype again. Play, watch, and learn about your favourite fighting games in this global celebration.
Evo Community Series – 10 June to 3 August
Starting in about a week’s time, there will be over 120 tournaments across the world. A total prize pool of US$74,000 will be up for grabs as well. If you cannot catch it live, no problem, there will be over 100 hours of broadcasts too.
Eligible PS4 players in selected regions can join up and stake their claim to be the best in the Evo Community Series. Selected matches will also be broadcast on the PlayStation Twitch and YouTube channels, as well as Evo’s Twitch channel.
