EVO, known as the “Evolution Championship Series,” is the pinnacle of competitive fighting game tournaments. Founded in 1996, EVO has grown from humble beginnings in arcades to become the largest and most prestigious fighting game event in the world. Each year, players from around the globe converge to showcase their skills and passion for their favourite fighting games. One of the most thrilling aspects of EVO is its diverse lineup of games. From classic titles like Street Fighter and Tekken to modern favourites like Super Smash Bros. and Dragon Ball FighterZ, the event covers a wide range of fighting games, ensuring that there’s something for every enthusiast.

Among SOLO Esports’ formidable roster are two exceptional players, Ismaila “Verix” Gueye and Papa “Hamza” Amsata Niang, both of whom bring a wealth of skill and determination to their respective games.
