The Evolution Championship Series is the pinnacle of fighting game competition every year, and 2017 should be no different. Playing host to no fewer than five major fighting game circuits, and one of the biggest events of the year for Super Smash Bros, it’s a show you won’t want to miss.

The Evo staff released the schedule for the festivities, with stream times to follow – but this is when you’ll want to be ready to tune in.

Friday, July 14:

Qualifying pools, where players will duke it out and attempt to advance to the upper echelons of the tournament, will kick off at 9 AM Pacific and run through 11 PM Pacific. Seven games will have their pools on Friday, including:

Street Fighter V

Super Smash Bros Melee

Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Tekken 7

Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2

Injustice 2

King Of Fighters XIV

Exact times and stream schedule will be posted soon. Streams are viewable at a variety of locations, including the Evo Twitch channel, as well as some developer channels like CapcomFighters and Bandai Namco’s Tekken channel. This will be one of the bloodiest days of the tournament, as most players do not advance beyond this point to the upper echelons of Evo placings.

King of Fighters XIV will be played out in its entirety on Friday.

Saturday, July 15

Saturday will see three of the Evo finals play out, in addition to the conclusion of qualifying matches for Sunday’s finale.

There will be tons of news coming out of these panels, which we’ll be covering here on PVP Live.
