Evolution 2017, or simply EVO 2017, is the ongoing 16th edition of the Evolution Championship Series, a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is scheduled to take place on July 14th to 16th, 2016, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. It was announced on January 24th, by EVO's tournament director Joey "Mr. Wizard" Cuellar, that both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 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 Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Disney XD channel will be broadcasting Smash 4 Top 8 live on Sunday evening. It was confirmed by a tweet from the official Disney account. This is the first instance of a Smash 4 tournament being televised on a platform other than the Internet.[1][2][3]
