EVO 2020 stands as one of the most famous e sports events, specifically tournaments that cover fighting games.

In theory, this edition had a lineup prepared before the Covid 19 outbreak but it was cancelled, so the event organizers have decided to change the format and go for the online method.

It turns out that the current lineup of games featured for official tournaments has nothing to do with the previous one and as you can see in the announcement from this tweet:

One peculiar highlight that one can abstract from the trailer is that a powerhouse like Smash Bros Ultimate hasn´t made the cut, not even for the public exhibition. Instead, the list of games that have managed to accomplish all the requirements are: MK11, Killer Instinct, Skullgirls and...Them´s Fighting Herds.

How about that? How does it feel that for the first time since 2012, EVO has always had Smash Bros in its roster but this time, it doesn´t? One tries to figure out why this has occurred and the factors around it are...quite paradoxical to say the least.
