Following the acquisition of the famous fighting game championship Evolution Championship Series (EVO) from RTS And Sony Interactive Entertainmentwhich took place last March 2021, Nintendo made the decision to withdraw Super Smash Bros. from the event.
This is an important choice, which will certainly have repercussions on the popularity of the tournament, especially considering that since 2007, the year in which the famous piacchiaduro of the big N joined the EVO, Super Smash Bros. it has always played a key role within the event.
To inform us of this revolution was the EVO team, through a tweet which we report below:

No particular light is shed on the reasons that may have led Nintendo to abandon support for the event, at least in these terms, but it is possible that, in addition to the recent acquisition of the EVO by Sony, the scandals related to the Smash community occurred within the league.
Despite everything, the twitter page of the event created by Tony And Tom Cannon offers words of hope for the future, giving, in the meantime, an appointment to all fans for March 8, the date on which this year’s edition will be officially announced. Regarding the series of Super Smash Bros.we recall that Nintendo has begun to organize its own tournaments in collaboration with the eSports company Panda Global.
