Evo is considered to be the apex of the fighting game year for a reason, and this year proved that by having over 9,000 total entrants—with more than 7,000 of those players competing in the Evo debut of Street Fighter 6. Three days and countless sets later, AngryBird stood atop the masses and hoisted the trophy after an incredible grand final against MenaRD on Aug. 6
Along with this being the biggest Street Fighter and Evo tournament of all time by a wide margin, AngryBird had to fight through dozens of top players who have all had a place in Evo history at some point over the last two decades. That includes wins over SonicFox, Momochi, Fujimura, and Fenritti just to make it to the final day—showing just how stacked the bracket was from top to bottom.
