This is EVO Prime. Evo Japan is in January.
This and T7 will be the only things I care about this year.
It also makes me wonder if they’re doing this to announce the rumored MvC4.

The reveal stream for evo lineup is always so dumb. Shit is like Lebron announcing himself going to Miami. Idk why people are surprised no NRS games, NRS games never last long.
Last year was ok cuz they had some reveal trailers… doesn’t look like this year is going to have any.
Marvel will be hype to watch.
MK is one of those games thats more fun to watch than it is to play

Update on WC3 Reforged bullshit
(I know it’s Kotaku. Stfu)
So loud has uproar among fans been, and so damning the shortfalls of the project, that Blizzard has begun offering instant refunds to anyone who bought WarCraft 3: Reforged .
Normally refunds have to go through a process of actually finding out what was wrong with your purchase, and won’t apply if you’ve had the game for a while and been playing it. In this case though, demand has clearly been so great—amid growing calls for legal action, given the discrepancy between what was promised and delivered—that players are reporting instant successes with their refund applications.
So what was wrong with the game? The final product fell vastly short of what was promised when Reforged was first announced, and making matters worse is that this new version of the game is now the default edition, with players unable to (officially) go back and play the game as it used to be.
UPDATE 7:15pm : Blizzard has responded to fan’s disappointment with a lengthy statement that addresses some—though not some of the more prominent—issues players have had with the game since release:
(below is the start of blizzards response to the scathing reviews and criticism)Hail War3 Players,
We’ve been following the discussions the past couple days and want to thank you for your feedback as well as your support. First off, we want to say we’re sorry to those of you who didn’t have the experience you wanted, and we’d like to share our plans for what’s coming next.
There were a few hours during launch day where we experienced server-load issues that impacted players’ ability to jump right in, but we were able to resolve those later in the day. Separate from that, we’ve seen community feedback about different aspects of Reforged that we wanted to take some time to address.
Before we go on: the team is excited that Warcraft III: Reforged is finally upon us and we’re fully committed to supporting the game for a long time to come. The next few patches and updates we’ll discuss below are just part of our ongoing plans. This game is an integral part of the Blizzard DNA, with a team that loves Warcraft III, and we’re looking forward to pouring our hearts into Reforged and the Warcraft III community for the long term.
One of the concerns with Reforged that we’ve seen are the visuals when selecting Classic Mode. We’ve identified the bug causing the colors and shading to look different from the original Warcraft III, and we’re testing a fix that will be incorporated in a larger patch addressing this issue and others. We expect to release that late this week. The patch will also address many other known issues, such as fixing some portrait animations and audio bugs, implementing some UI fixes, and more. Please keep an eye out for the patch notes for a detailed list of all the bug fixes.
Another area of concern we’re seeing is regarding online features such as leaderboards and clans, which applies to all Warcraft III players, including those who haven’t purchased Reforged. At BlizzCon we talked a lot about how the team is actively working on standing up the back-end to ensure a smooth transition to this new MMR system, much like we did with StarCraft: Remastered. As with Remastered, these and other features will be included in a major patch for Reforged, which will also address the issue for players of the original game. We’ll share release plans as work progresses in the coming weeks—please be assured that the team is hard at work on standing these features up.
There are some individual concerns we’ve seen that we’re not currently planning to address and we wanted to give the community a heads-up. As of Version 1.30 of the original game, we saw very low usage of tournaments and of the Reign of Chaos ruleset, so we removed both in mid-2019 (in Version 1.31). Eliminating the maintenance for underused elements has helped us streamline our overall support of the game and focus on areas impacting the most players. That said, we do anticipate that players who prefer Reign of Chaos will find custom games with similar rulesets, which we hope will help satisfy that concern.
Related to that, as we talked about last year at BlizzCon, we did not want the in-game cutscenes to steer too far from the original game. We went a little deeper into the thought process behind that at the show, but the main takeaway is that the campaigns tell one of the classic stories in Warcraft history, and we want to preserve the true spirit of Warcraft III and allow players to relive these unforgettable moments as they were (albeit rebuilt with new animations and the higher fidelity art).
We know this update doesn’t address all questions, but we’re committed to the development and support of this game. We hope you’ll keep an eye out for this week’s patch and future updates and let us know what you think as we continue fine-tuning things. Until then, thank you as always for your support and passion for Warcraft III. We appreciate all your feedback and will continue to keep the Warcraft III community updated on everything we’re working on.
Sincerely,
The Warcraft III: Reforged Team

The WC3/Reforged teams need to restore the original WC3 back to before they greedily downgraded it…I will not give them a pass no matter what improvements they do to reforged.

I’d be scared of a Marvel 4, one of Capcoms producers just left. Their fighting game division is on life support right now

I like the EVO line up, personally I’m not surprised that MK isn’t coming back. Only gripe is EVO acting like little bitches and trying to hide the fact that Infiltration won SamSho last year. What are they going to do if he wins SFV?
I’m lost with the Infiltration thing…is he being canceled from the community?
It’s like 75% are fine with him coming back and then there’s the loud 25% percent that act like he’s a danger to events. EVO been giving mixed signals about it, they congratulated him winning but backpedal after some outrage on Twitter. I don’t think he’ll be banned from EVO (he made top 8 in SFV in EVO Japan) or any other events, but it seems like they won’t acknowledge that he’s won stuff.
Also got to share this video with MvC2 coming back

That audio commentary for the IM Infinite is like going into a way back machine for me. The local FGC I grew up in was predominantly black. So I got yelled at like that constantly when I started getting heavily into fighters.
