EVO 2014 notably featured [[Nintendo]], the publisher for the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, as a sponsor, with a speech given by [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]], President of Nintendo of America; this was in stark contrast to Nintendo's attempt to shut down ''Melee'' at EVO 2013 a year earlier. In addition, {{Sm|Prog}} was presented the Cannon Award in his honor for his service to the Smash community.
