The professional gaming team "EVA:e," operated by NGM Co. Ltd., announced its dissolution effective Monday, March 31, 2025.
A final event is scheduled to be held in late March 2025.
Professional Gaming Team "EVA:e" Announces Dissolution
"EVA:e" was established in September 2020 as the official gaming team for "Neon Genesis Evangelion."
Immediately after its formation, its players made their presence known through their success, such as Masachu (@Masachu39) winning in the eFootball division of the JAPAN eSPORTS GRAND PRIX (Japan Esports Select Competition) and placing 4th in the Rainbow Six Japan Championship 2020.
This same "EVA:e" announced that its activities will cease on Monday, March 31, 2025.
Fans expressed their sadness on social media.
As of February 2025, "EVA:e" had nine members across three divisions: Fighting Game, eFootball, and Streamer.
At the inaugural "Esports World Cup 2024" in Saudi Arabia, Hikaru (@hikaru_shiftne) from the Fighting Game division placed 5th and earned $45,000.
Final Event to be Held in March 2025!
On the "EVA:e" official website, it was announced that:
While activities as "EVA:e" will cease, the affiliated players and streamers will continue their activities, further refining their skills.
