Earlier today, the Evo Community Series PlayStation 4 Tournaments was announced to serve as a global celebration of the fighting game community. The Evo Community Series will begin on June 10 and will go on until August 3, just before the beginning of Evo 2021 Online.

After co-acquiring the major fighting game tournament this past March, PlayStation has announced plans for the 2021 Evolution Championship Series, beginning with the Evo Community Series on June 10.
The Evo Community Series will include over 120 regional tournaments across the world, offering a total of $74,000 in prize money throughout the competition.

June 26 through July 13 will be the PlayStation Tournaments Evo 2021 Online Warm-Up, a series of matches with rewards like themes and avatars. On July 8 and running through Aug. 3, Evo 2021 Online will also host its side tournaments, featuring some smaller communities in games like
Them’s Fightin’ Herds. And on Aug. 6 through 8 and 13 through 15, the two-weekend Evo 2021 Online series kicks off. You can find the full schedule and sign-ups on Evo’s site.
Each tournament series is offering a prize pool as well, so there’s a little extra incentive to show up and compete. But after a year without Evo, it’s nice to see the fighting return once again. As more companies add some modern, solid netcode and make it easier to play online, I’m looking forward to some weekends of close matches, big combos, and hype moments.
