EVO
2024 Breaks All Time eSports Attendance Record, Final Player Registration
Numbers
|
|
|
|
 This
week, player registration for Evolution Championship Series 2024
finalized and the tournament's organizers confirmed that EVO 2024
broke another all-time attendance record. EVO first announced on Twitter
that over 10,000 players registered for the world's largest fighting game
tournament, beating out last year's record-breaking event which held 9,182 players.
Even more impressive, this 10,000+ number doesn't just
break the record for a fighting game event... but for any live eSports event!
[UPDATE #1]
On
July 1st, EVO revealed the final player registration numbers for Evolution Championship Series
2024.
Street
Fighter 6
and TEKKEN
8
finish in the top two with over 5,200 and 4,600 players, respectively. Guilty Gear -STRIVE-
impressively holds on strong in its third EVO appearance with
2,000+
players. Also worth mentioning, SFIII:
3rd Strike will have 1,101 players at EVO '24 —
a
huge achievement for a 25-year-old fighting game.

EVO
2024 FINAL NUMBERS
|
In
contrast... Mortal Kombat 1's
player registrants are abysmally low for the game's first ever EVO appearance —
awkwardly thudding into the final EVO '24 leaderboard in second-to-last
place. And as far as KOF XV
goes...
we can probably assume KOF XV won't be coming
back as a main title at EVO 2025 (to be replaced by Fatal
Fury: City of the Wolves in all likelihood).
[UPDATE #2]
The official broadcast schedule
for EVO 2024 has been released.
Evolution
Championship Series 2024 takes place July 19-21, 2024
in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Las Vegas Convention Center (West
Hall). A huge congratulations to the EVO team
for setting another monumental attendance record! Once again, EVO 2024's
main games are Street
Fighter 6, TEKKEN
8,
Guilty Gear -STRIVE-,
The King of Fighters XV,
Street
Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Mortal Kombat 1,Granblue Fantasy
Versus: Rising, and Under
Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes]. Stay tuned on
The Fighters
Generation for upcoming EVO 2024 coverage.
