Can you feel it? The beginning of EVO 2012 starts today! I’m always incredibly excited for the yearly fighting game tournament, as it’s not only the largest one in the world, but there’s always a lot of incredible moments. Last year we saw Daigo Umehara, one of the best fighting game players in the world, get perfected by Korean player Poongko in what was one of the most exciting moments in fighting game history. Who knows what will happen this year? As usual, EVO will be streamed online this year, and the official stream (as well as the schedule) can be found here.
This year, there are three separate streams: Gameplay 1, Gameplay 2, and a Panels and Interviews stream. The schedule for all three is as follows. Note that all times listed are in PDT.
