One Angry Gamer "The Evo 2014 Championship Series is underway and you can start watching the event right away. The live-stream of the tournament pools and finals will be broadcast over the weekend and that means you can scope out the action from the comfort of your home as if you were watching the World Cup or the Playoffs."
Some people haven't quite figured out why people enjoy watching others play games. Why is that? Why is it so difficult to explain to someone who enjoys watching other forms of media or entertainment, the joys of watching gaming?
VGW's Will Harrison: With the bloodiest day in Evo tournament history in the record books, Sunday night came and brought with it even more shocking endings and tense match ups than the crowd of 8,000 live spectators and 128,000 watching on Twitch.TV could have anticipated. Would America capture its first Street Fighter IV Evo crown via SnakeEyes, the west coast Zangief player? Could Ricky Ortiz bring home the trophy? Would the title of Grand Finals Winner go back to Fuudo and Japan? Top 8 was full of surprises and saw a gripping conclusion that will be talked about in Fight Game Community circles for years to come.
Kevin from Denkiphile: "EVO has arrived, which means that the titans of competitive fighting games are duking it out Greek-style to claim supremacy over their fellow man. Featured at EVO are the best and most popular games the genre has to offer. Street Fighters, BlazBlues, Guilty Gears, and King of Fighters are the bread and butter of any fighting game competition, but like with any other genre, there are games that wouldn’t make the cut for competitive play for various reasons. Here’s a list of fighting games no one will ever play at EVO."
