Hey, everyone! So for the first time ever, there's a fairly unconventional format for the EVO championship this year. Everything is online, and the main tournament is held across two weekends instead of one. It'll take a little more work to keep track of the action across Twitch, so here's how you can watch:
2 EVO WEEKENDS
Week One: August 6-8
Week Two: August 13-15
TOURNAMENT DATES AND TIMES
The tournaments are split into 4 regions, with each starting at 12 PM in their local time zone:
For MK11/GG specifically:
The NA Mortal Kombat 11 tournament runs Friday/Saturday, August 13th/14th
The NA Guilty Gear Strive tournament runs Saturday/Sunday, August 14th/15th
The ASIA Guilty Gear Strive tournament runs Friday/Saturday, August 13th/14th
Here are the dates for ALL MAIN GAMES (Tekken 7, SFV, Skullgirls, MK11, and Strive):
For Europe only:
And for Latin America/Brazil only:
And for North America only:
And for Asia Only:
TOP 8 SCHEDULE
With 4 tournaments happening, that means 4 separate Top 8 days: this Saturday and Sunday, and next Saturday and Sunday.
(All of these times are in United States Pacific Daylight Time, GMT/UTC-7, the standard time zone for EVO)
MORTAL KOMBAT 11
The main EVO tournament will be followed by an offline championship featuring the top couple of players from each region playing in November with 8 players per game.
RULES
STREAM INFORMATION (AND HOW YOU CAN HELP)
Since everyone's online, there won't be traditional 'pools' main streams, like in previous years; and so it'll be up to individual competitors to stream their runs on Twitch.
They'll be collecting the streams on juked.gg: https://juked.gg/c/evo2021#overview
As such, I'd like to use this thread for all of us here to keep track of what's going on. If you have any updates, are aware of a key matchup coming up, or are spectating a streamer on a hot run, please post it in the thread and let everyone know here!
