EVO 2024 Is One of The Biggest Esports Events of The Year

EVO 2024 kicks off on Friday, with tens of thousands of fans flocking to Las Vegas to take in the sights and watch pro FGC players beat the daylights out of one another – digitally, of course. This is arguably the most important event in the FGC calendar, and this year’s super-sized spectacle is shaping up to be one of the biggest esports events ever.

It has already won that title according to the player count – more than 15,000 competitors are expected to turn up to take part, which decimates even the Esports World Cup, which is playing host to 21 games.
