EVO Japan 2023 Results: Taiwan’s Oil King Closes With Dominance
The FGC season is officially underway and here are the results of EVO Japan
The start to the Fighting Game season is now officially closed with the final brackets closing in the wee hours of the (North American) morning. We now have our first champions of the year, many of which are old stalwarts. Listed below are the top 8 finalists for each main bracket and their eventual champions. One interesting note about EVO Japan is that all of the main games received the same prize pool regardless of entries. First place for each main game took home $7,531 with the eight place winner taking home a little over $1k. This tournament also marks the march towards the final tournaments ever for Street Fighter V as the newest installment Street Fighter VI is set to release in June.
