With nearly 25 years of Fighting game evolution, EVO2022 reveals this year’s lineup for the biggest fighting game tournament in the world.

check out the lineup below : ⤵

We must say that we’re a bit surprised to see MK11 in the lineup considering that Netherealm studios decided to stop supporting the game with new DLC back in July.

And also a bit surprised to see Granblue Fantasy in the lineup since it hasn’t been a game we’ve heard a lot of the community still talking about. Check out this cool video by Akshon Esports — he covers some of the reasons why some of the game’s audience might have moved on.

Perhaps EVO2022 will bring the competitive hunger back to the game’s scene!

Also, EVO2022 announced that they will be having water stations for participants. That’s really cool! Gotta stay hydrated.
