Smash Bros Ultimate will wrap the day up and conclude Evo 2019. This is the first time that Smash Bros Ultimate will be at Evo, but it\u2019s important to note that Melee is absent from the lineup this year. However, doesn\u2019t mean that Melee won\u2019t be represented. William \u201cLeffen\u201d Hjelte, one of Melee\u2019s most dominant players, has picked up Ultimate and is the tournament\u2019s 51st seed, according to Smash.gg. Other notable entrants include #1 seed MkLeo, Tweek, Marss, Dabuz, Nairo and ESAM and Salem. It\u2019s promising to be a stacked tournament and one for the ages. As we earlier reported, Smash Bros Ultimate has the most registered players at the event with a whopping 3,492. Street Fighter V is a distant second with 1,929 participants. The registration deadline was July 14 at 8:00pm PST. In its debut year at Evo, Street Fighter V had a record 5,000 entrants. Evo will be taking place at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The event will run from August 2 to August 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
