'''Evolution 2017''', or simply '''EVO 2017''', was the 16th edition of the [[EVO|Evolution Championship Series]], a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event took place on July 14th to 16th, 2017, at the {{s|wikipedia|Mandalay Bay Events Center}}. It was announced on January 24th, by EVO's tournament director Joey "{{Sm|Mr. Wizard}}" Cuellar, that both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and {{forwiiu}} would be featured as official games on the EVO 2017 game lineup. The ninth game was chosen via a donation drive with the proceeds gone to the {{s|wikipedia|Make-A-Wish Foundation}}. The {{s|wikipedia|Disney XD}} channel broadcasted ''Smash 4'' Top 8 live on Sunday evening, which had been confirmed by a tweet from the official Disney account. The ''Smash 4'' Top 8 was also broadcasted live on the {{s|wikipedia|ESPNU}} channel. These are the first two instances of a ''Smash 4'' tournament being televised on a platform other than the Internet.<ref>http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/25/14379862/evo-2017-games-lineup-street-fighter-5-tekken-7-injustice-2</ref><ref>http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/18547482/central-fiction-tekken-7-come-evolution-championship-series-2017</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/DXPofficial/status/885695447649669120</ref> | '''Evolution 2017''', or simply '''EVO 2017''', was the 16th edition of the [[EVO|Evolution Championship Series]], a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada.
