EVO World Finals: Rio Las Vegas, July 29-31 2011 and the New Evo Tournament Season
It’s official. Evolution World Finals, the world’s premier open competitive fighting game tournament, will take place at the Rio Casino and Resort in Las Vegas on July 29-31. And with the introduction of the brand new Evolution 2011 Tournament Season, this year’s event will without a doubt be the biggest and baddest ever.

The Evolution 2011 Tournament Season:
This year, we’ve partnered up with 8 major tournaments from all over the United States and Canada to create a full season of Evolution events that will offer tournament seeding at Evo World Finals to the overall highest place finishers. Participating events include West Coast Warzone, GVN Winter Brawl, Final Round XIV, PowerUp 2011, and more! For more information on how the Evolution 2011 Tournament Season will be structured and a full schedule of events, visit the tournament season blog post here.

A Quick Introduction to Evolution World Finals:
If you’re new to the fighting game scene and Evo is something that is new to you, here’s a very brief primer: As the world’s largest open fighting game tournament, the Evolution Championship Series has grown into a global event attracting thousands of competitors of the highest caliber from all over the world seeking victories, cash prizes, and community respect. For more than a decade, the tournament is where new talent emerges as champions, and where reigning champions grow into legends.

However, in recent years, Evo has evolved (no pun intended) into something more. It’s where community members and players ranging anywhere from the casual gamer and spectator to the hardcore tournament junkie can gather en masse and connect to meet in person, learn about the newest fighting game titles and hardware, witness the history in the making, and most importantly, throw down against opponents from all over the world. No matter who you ask, they’ll all tell you the same thing: If there’s only one event you can attend, Evolution is the tournament you will not want to miss.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We've gotta do this, I've no doubt It's going to be the biggest one so far. I think it'll be the first one with a proper showing from all nations. More Japanese more Euro's and more hotel sessions! Pretty good rates for Evo people in the Rio. The Rio is a mad looking multicoloured skyscraper-ish yoke I didn't have the pleasure of visiting but I'm sure it's grand. It's not actually on the Vegas strip like Caesars Palace so we'd want to get booking early enough not to miss out or we'll have a little travel every day to get to it which is a bit of a pain.

Chopper is the real life Ryu, traveling the world looking for new challengers.

I think France is the only trip I'll be swinging this year.
