History was made, records were set, hearts were broken, and dreams came true.

We were fortunate enough to be invited to EVO and experience the Grand Finals as close as possible. We tried to capture the feel of the arena as best we could. We hope you enjoy the footage. Congratulations to all those that made it to Top 6, and to the winners, of course!

Special thank you to Mr. Mark Julio, b/k/a MarkMan, for inviting us. Special thank you to the entire EVO staff for putting on and running this incredible event. Special thank you to the FGC for making this happen, and making history – together.
