One of the surprises this year is the omission of 2019's Mortal Kombat 11... but if you're in tune with tournament participant and viewership trends, this one is really no surprise. MK11 is the first NRS title to debut at EVO and not make it back a second year.
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, which appeared at EVO 2018-2019, also didn't make it in this year for EVO 2020.
EVO 2020 takes place July 31st - August 2nd at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas. You can now
register for the tournament on the official EVO website.
