Turnamen fighting games terbesar di dunia EVO 2018 berakhir siang tadi. Delapan pemain dari delapan cabang yang berbeda berhasil membuktikan diri sebagai yang terbaik di tengah ratusan hingga ribuan peserta yang ikut bertanding selama tiga hari ini.

EVO 2018 mempertandingkan delapan cabang fighting games yang berbeda, yaitu Street Fighter V Arcade Edition, Tekken 7, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. for WiiU, _Injustice 2, dan Blazblue Cross Tag Battle.

Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, EVO tahun ini juga penuh dengan kejutan. Nama-nama besar seperti Infiltration dan Punk di Street Fighter V misalnya, gagal menembus delapan besar. Tidak cuma itu, tahun ini kita mendapatkan juara baru di beberapa cabang seperti Super Smash Bros. Melee dan Tekken 7. Lalu untuk pertama kalinya setelah sekian lama, Street Fighter dimenangkan oleh pemain dari barat.
