EVO 2018
Super Smash Bros. Melee might have been released 17 years ago, but that didn't stop it from pulling in 1,351 entrants to the latest iteration of the Evolution Championship Series. That's a couple hundred fewer than than Evo 2017, but it was still enough for fifth place in attendance to this year's event. Not only that, but Melee has made its way back into Sunday's lineup at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas for the grand finals. With so many players heading out to the event, there will be no shortage of sparks flying throughout the bracket.
