The Evolution Championship Series 2015, or simply EVO 2015, is an upcoming fighting game tournament held in Las Vegas, Nevada, scheduled to take place on July 17 to 19, 2015 at the Bally's Las Vegas / Paris Las Vegas Casino. Notably for this year's edition is the inclusion of two Smash games, with the return of Melee alongside with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, after continued interest in the game was noted by the staff following EVO 2014.[1]
EVO 2015 is set to allow custom special moves in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U by utilizing the Official Custom Moveset Project. Lucas, Roy, and Ryu will not be allowed due to how soon before the tournament they became available[2]. An official schedule for each game is expected to be released on early July[3]. It is also slated to be the largest Melee tournament by a huge margin, with 1,869 entrants, and the largest Smash Wii U tournament of all time as well, with 1,926 entrants.[4]
