This was definitely a match for the ages. vVv|CDjr battled his way out of losers, but unfortunately fell to last year’s champion after a back and forth set. Perfect Legend became the first player to defend his EVO title since Daigo Umehara in 2010, using his patented Kung Lao to take home another impressive victory.

We would like to extend our congratulations to both Perfect Legend and the rest of the top eight on placing in the biggest competitive gaming event of all time. The entire group of top finishers are included below, and you can also check out the match results in our official coverage hub.
