Evolution 2010 should have the biggest names, will have a lot of money on the line, and is scheduled to have hundreds of players competing in the various tournaments. Here's some more juicy goodness to add onto the pie:
The team of Level|Up will be broadcasting the whole weekend. So if you're going to unfortunately miss out on the tournament in-person, they're going to hook you up with the crisp broadcast. You can see what they've done on their YouTube portal.
There's more incentive to make the final eight in the Super Street Fighter IV tournament. All eight finalists will receive MadCatz Tournament Edition golden sticks (pictured). There's only one way to get one of theses, and that's to survive perhaps more than 1,500 competitors and reach Championship Sunday.
In addition, EVO proudly announces the Mad Catz® Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick™ Tournament Edition as the official controller for the EVO 2010 World Finals. "Tournament players world-wide have turned to Mad Catz® Tournament Edition controllers for their premium components and impeccable build quality," said Tom Cannon, founder of the EVO Championship Series. In support of EVO’s spirit of top-level competitive play, Mad Catz® will contribute to the Super Street Fighter IV cash prize and produce a super-limited run of exclusive Tournament Edition "golden sticks" to be awarded as prizes to the top eight competitors in the Super Street Fighter IV tournament. The only way to get one of these sticks is to place in the top eight, so practice up! For more information on Mad Catz® products please visit madcatz.com.
Finally, if you didn't get to play Marvel vs Capcom 3 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or if you want to play some more, the game will be available for play at Evolution 2010 during the weekend. The game's producer, Ryota Niituma, will be at the event as well; make sure to share your opinions with him.
