When rumblings of MultiVersus started heating up around October 2021, rumors swirled regarding LeBron James\u2019 Space Jam 2 character being a DLC fighter. Now that the MultiVersus open beta is out and LeBron James is a fully playable character fans have had a lot of fun with the NBA star\u2019s inclusion. Unfortunately for competitive fans, it seems EVO 2022 banned LeBron James in its MultiVersus tournament and fans are loving the misconstrued news headlines. LeBron James \u201cbanned\u201d from EVO 2022 The news came from EVO 2022\u2019s official Tournament hub for the MultiVersus Open Beta $100,000 Tournament on start.gg. Under the \u2018Characters\u2019 section within the tournament rules, start.gg confirmed that \u201cIron Giant, LeBron James, or any other characters released after the start of Open Beta will not be allowed in the EVO 2022 Multiversus Open Beta Tournament.\u201d Of course, LeBron James is the only real human being among the MultiVersus roster, and fans on social media immediately created memes about the hilarious wording. \u201cIt\u2019s kinda hilarious to see the sentence \u2018LeBron James is banned [from] EVO,\u201d said MultiVersus Twitter leaker multiversusie. Others posted memes like EucerinOfficial, who said \u201cLeBron James waking up just to see he\u2019s been banned from some event called \u2018EVO\u2019 [that] he had no intention of attending in the first place,\u201d with a picture of James looking confused. Obviously, EVO hasn\u2019t banned James himself from attending the MultiVersus tournament at EVO, but it\u2019s an undeniably funny situation regardless. The hype surrounding the game has grown thanks to MultiVersus\u2019s recent success on Twitch, so the tournament will likely have a substantial turnout. Though players won\u2019t be able to see James in action at EVO 2022, fans can certainly expect to see some exciting competitive MultiVersus action during EVO\u2019s $100,000 MultiVersus Open Beta Tournament beginning August 5, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LeBron James is \u201cbanned\u201d from EVO and fighting game fans are losing their minds SIE \/ Warner Bros.The Evo Championship Series 2022 announced LeBron James is banned from the MultiVersus Open Beta Tournament and fans are loving the misconstrued news.
