EVO 2021 revealed today that they have opened up their registration system for all of their 2021 fighting esports tournaments. As it was previously announced after Sony Interactive Entertainment took over, 2021 would remain online as the U.S. and other countries continue to move forward with COVID-19 vaccinations. That being said, all of the tournaments will be streamed live exclusively on Twitch for the entirety of the event.

The event has also expanded this year by introducing more than 120 additional online regional tournaments, broadening their reach to as many players and games they can so everyone they can get feels like they have a place at Evo.
