Evo

D’Ron Maingrette, a Super Smash Bros announcer, tweets a list of the sponsors for the 2014 Evo fighting game tournament.  The list includes previous sponsors like IGN and Xbox, but this is the first time Nintendo sponsors the event. It marks a change in attitude from 2013’s Evo tournament when they attempt to block Super Smash Bros from being streamed from the event.

Time to memorize the list of sponsors for #Evo2014. One of them is a surprise, I wonder what the big N has planned? pic.twitter.com/x41LIdffWA
