COVID-19 Concerns Lead To Cancellation Of Evo 2021

The Evo 2021 Showcase has officially been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. The invite-only event was originally scheduled to take place in Nevada this November.

“Due to the continuing complications of COVID-19 and the spread of the Delta Variant we have made the tough decision to cancel the Evo 2021 Showcase,” reads a statement from the organization. “The players invited to participate in the Evo 2021 Showcase represent many of the best fighters in the world. We’re incredibly saddened to cancel the event. The Evo team will be contacting each player individually to recognize their efforts. We remain dedicated to Evo’s mission of celebrating the FGC, and will continue to work towards the return of the big, live events that you expect from us.”

Evo is one of the world’s most famous video game tournament competitions. 40 esports athletes were expected to face off in Las Vegas for a chance to win the event’s $125,000 prize pool.
