The Evolution Championship Series is an annual video game tournament that focuses exclusively on fighting games. In fighting game communities it is commonly referred to as "Evo", and is currently the premier video game tournament for fighting games in the United States. As with Super Battle Opera, the Evolution tournaments are so well known that typically contestants will travel from all over the world to participate, most notably Japan.

New world champions were crowned all around at EVO 2011 this year, with many upsets coming from several places in the Super Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat, and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift tournaments.
