CEO 2013 is the last major event before EVO 2013 and is an absolutely amazing spectacle with tons of top level talent in attendance each year.
What is even more impressive is the fact that Super Smash Bros. Melee was not originally intended to be on the main EVO 2013 line up, but was voted in by fans.
Evolution 2013 is taking place on July 12 - 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Be sure to visit us here at EventHubs for live coverage of the largest fighting game event of the year.
