EVO 2010 happened this weekend…along with some other thing. There were upsets, beat downs, and come backs. With so many major players, top 32 was amazingly brutal, with so many talented players moving on or going home.

Gamerbee from Taiwan was this years big surprise for sure, taking Adon to top 8, and sending the US champ Justin Wong home. He played so crispy and aggressive. Nothing but smart play and showing that his wins were not a fluke. Gamerbee made JWong actually look desperate, and was undoubtedly the highlight of the tournament. This elimination however seemed to clear the way for Daigo to take home first place unchallenged.

The coverage this year was really great. The only real issue was the stream dieing during the last match of the final set between Nor Cal’s Ricky Ortiz and Daigo. Thankfully, Level Up Series has made them available on youtube, at least for now. The internets could not handle the hype as the stream reached 30,000 viewers, almost 3x that of last year. Congratulations to the EVO staff for running a roughly 1800 man bracket and finishing on schedule! I hope I can make it out to EVO one year!
