EVO 2024, the world's largest fighting game tournament, will be held from July 20 (Sat.) to 22 (Mon.), 2024 Japan time! The winner of the main tournament title " THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV (KOF XV)" was decided by Xiaohai! We will bring you more photos from the event!







The first main tournament title of EVO 2024 is KOF XV!



The KOF XV division will begin at approximately 29:50.


KOF XV, the latest title in the King of Fighters series developed by SNK, will be released in February 2022, and will feature the series' signature team system, which makes the battles even deeper.

The Top 6 players in the final round were...


  • VSPO xiaohai (Xiaohai)
  • AMTRS SCORE (SCORE)
  • TMG Tamago(Tamago)
  • TxC ViolentKain(ViolentKain)
  • CDM KoferoHonesto ("KoferoHonesto")
  • XGear Brook Joy E.T.(ET)

Six players (names are based on start.gg ) from Japan, AMTRS SCORE won in the winners' bracket. "EVO Japan 2024" winner XGear Brook Joy E.T. and runner-up VSPO xiaohai also won in order. The stability of the competition is scary, as we thought it would be.

The matchup of SCORE, a Japanese player, against Xiaohai, the strongest player in KOF! SCORE is a veteran player who has maintained a top level of skill in Japan, but Xiaohai is also a strong player, having won EVO Japan 2023 and EVO 2023. Xiaohai is also the strongest player in the tournament, having won EVO Japan 2023 and EVO 2023. He showed his consistency in this tournament, winning 0-2.



The Mexican cheering for the Mexicans was hot!

The "KOF XV" tournament at EVO 2024 started in the morning, and the Mexican players were cheered on by the crowd. The crowd cheered for the Mexican players, especially during the match between Tamago and ViolentKain, two of Mexico's best players, and called out to them at every turn.

The Huevo call, which means egg in Spanish, is especially exciting.



Las M.Bisons are hot and cold.

Incidentally, the temperature in Las M. Bisons in July is about 40 degrees Celsius, which is normal, but the rooms are so air-conditioned that it even feels cold. The heat and adrenaline of watching the games is a good way to cover up, but if you don't like the cold, it's a good idea to bring something light to wrap yourself in!


ET players are adorable!

ViolentKain and ET players clashed in the Loosers Semifinals. The game went down to a one-on-one general match, but ET won the last-second game! Then, ET, who should have won, collapses...

ET then defeated Tamago in the Routers Final, leaving the final between Xiaohai and ET!


The matchups from EVO Japan 2024 are recreated!


ET and Xiaohai

In the Grand Final, Xiaohai won Winners and ET won Routers. The same matchups as at EVO 2023 and EVO Japan 2024 are also in the Grand Final, and we feel a connection. The two players are probably the best players in the world today!


Saiga NAK

Xiaohai's perfection of the red circle and his 3-attacks against Gheez had the audience in a frenzy, and before we knew it, Xiaohai had won the match in straight games with a 3-attack lead!






Xiaohai won the tournament!

  • 3rd: Tamago
  • 4th: ViolentKain
  • 5th: SCORE

Xiaohai
Saiga NAK

Xiaohai regained the title he missed at EVO Japan 2024! His record in KOF XV is especially impressive, and he is arguably the best active player in the game.



Xiaohai

What is even more surprising is that he is also one of the world's top Street Fighter 6 players. It seems that the genius's rapid progress will continue.

Extra

SCORE finished 5th in the "KOF XV" division, but he was the winner of the "FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves" exhibition tournament! It looks like we will be seeing more of this proud Japanese veteran!
