{{*}}Project M was a side event organized by the community and not an "official" part of EVO.
==Controversy==
The event came under controversy during the grand finals match of the {{forwiiu}} event between {{Sm|Lima}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}}. Neither player seemed to take the match seriously, as evidenced by their lack of staidness throughout the set and by Lima granting CaptainZack a "homie [[stock]]" during game 5 of the first set. Additionally, during game 1 of the second set, both players held [[Bullet Climax]] in place for nearly two minutes, which caused [[tournament organizer]] {{Sm|Bear}} to [https://clips.twitch.tv/WonderfulPiliableSquirrelBleedPurple come on stage] and issue both players a [https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1025978601055776768 yellow card]. Many top players asserted that this set tarnished the competitive integrity of the event,<ref>https://twitter.com/DabuzSenpai/status/1025978214978445312</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/MVG_Mew2King/status/1025980476807294977</ref> and most of the audience members attending EVO had [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_eC3SBSJnE left the venue]{{dead link}} before or during grand finals. CaptainZack apologized after the match for his "disrespectful showing", but stated that he was "truly trying his best" throughout the set. <ref>https://twitter.com/CaptainZack_/status/1025996248380203008</ref> Lima also apologized for giving a "homie stock" to CaptainZack, saying that he did it because he was playing one of his best friends and didn't want the match to end with a [[self-destruct]]. Moreover, he explained that it wasn't his intention to "make grand finals look like collusion or childish", but that he simply "play[s] better when [he] play[s] to have fun".<ref>https://twitter.com/LimaBayo/status/1026004629786517504</ref> Many view the Grand Finals incident, timed with the arrival of ''Ultimate'' shortly after, as the death of competitive ''Smash 4''.
