Summary: IGN is a very trusted internet website for gamers to view game reviews, tv show reviews, and articles on there favorite games. This particular article talks about the upcoming event Evo 2015. Evo is a huge gaming tournament that gamers worldwide go and compete in with games like Tekken, mortal kombat, super smash bros, and street fighter. A huge grand prize is won at this event and every winner gets much a ton of respect for winning a tournament like this. Tekken 7 will also be making a appearance on a arcade platform because it is not released officially yet for consoles.
Quotes: "This year's Evo will take place at the Bally’s / Paris Las Vegas in Las Vegas from July 17-19, with discounted hotel rates available from the official booking site. " 
"Thousands of players descended upon the Westgate Las Vegas Resort last year to compete for glory across eight games during Evo 2014. "
Reflection: As a gamer Evo is a very cool tournament to watch live streamed. There is very exciting thing about watching gamers fight in games that are so close and so intense. In fighting games like these the matches tend to be very close and come down to the wire, so seeing thousands of dollars be placed on a battle and then someone lose is very exciting and depressing. It is a very cool event and hopefully more games can be put in tournaments like this worldwide so we can gaming out there.

  1. Evo sounds pretty awesome! I like the fact that it allows gamers from all over the world to compete in various games. This is great for the gaming community because it unites gamers together who do not even speak the same language but share a mutual love for a particular game. I also like the game choice Evo uses in the tournament, it sticks to older games that were very popular at the times of their release dates and our now considered classics. I also never knew that Evo was held in Las Vegas and this is quite interesting because it is a perfect location. After all, Las Vegas is filled with crazy street life, fast living, fun times and neon lights creating a perfect environment for a gamer!
