It has been confirmed that the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament at EVO 2019 peaked at 279,000 online viewers, claiming history as the most viewed event in EVO history. 

The peak viewership occurred as the tournament’s Top 8 finals were held as the “main event” for EVO 2019. 

After a three-day run, MKLeo has won the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tourney at EVO 2019.

Coming from the Loser’s side of the bracket, Joker-player MKLeo reset the bracket on Tweek’s Pokemon Trainer after being down 2 games to zero, and falling behind by two stocks in Game 4 of the first set. Then, MKLeo went on to win the championship by sweeping the second set in 3-0 fashion.
