EVO World 2007 was the largest Melee tournament of all time for almost two years, with 270 entrants.

2008

EVO 2008 was the first EVO to feature Brawl as a game, replacing Melee. Over 110 players attended the tournament. CPU's R.O.B. defeated Ken's Marth in grand finals to win the tournament. The tournament was widely criticized for having many items turned on, including the Smash Ball.
