2017 EVO World Championships: Street Fighter V

Many fighting game fans have long pushed back against the rise of eSports, but it's happening if they like it or not. The latest development in that is the confirmation that the grand finals of Street Fighter 5 at the Evolution Championship Series will be broadcast live on ESPN2. This first happened at last year's EVO, but the fact the game and event is getting a repeat performance will be a big deal to the community, players and tournament organizers. The grand finals take place this Sunday, June 16 at the Mandalay Bay Sports Arena in Las Vegas. Street Fighter kicks off at 7pm Pacific Time.
