Evo is our favorite esports event, and on this episode of the PCMag Pop-Off, we discuss the future of Evo with guests who would know a thing or two about it. Rick Thiher is Evo’s General Manager, while Stuart Saw is the CEO of RTS, a new company that co-owns the tournament alongside Sony following a 2021 reorganization.

Heavy hitter Street Fighter 6 drops next month, so the future of fighting games looks brighter than ever. How does Evo plan to draw in this new potential audience while still servicing hardcore veterans? How has Sony’s involvement enabled Evo expansion? If you enjoy alternate controllers, or even alternate kinds of fighting games, is Evo the tournament for you? What’s it like returning to live competition after years of pandemic-era online events? We talk about all this and additional fighting game topics.
