We just returned home from our crazy journey to Las Vegas, NV. In order to save money on shipping, we decided to drive nearly 2000 miles over the mountains and through the desert hauling the overly packed Focus Fire trailer. This year’s EVO was top notch, over 11,000 people attended, and that’s not including the randoms that walked in to check out all of the commotion. The entire 50,000o sq. ft. ball room was used and packed to the brim with tournament contestants, spectators and vendors. The Focus Fire booth was completely packed throughout the entire weekend. Unique items we brought with to sell such as Kidrobot Street Fighter vinyls sold out just hours after day 1 began. The capture station we set up on Saturday was a huge success. Some of the best players in the world sat down to compete and we had some GREAT MATCHES! EVO Sunday was such a unique experience, the crowd roars during finals sent shivers down my spine, it was SO LOUD! Big thanks to companies who gave us items to give away at our booth, Calibur 11, Hori, Innex, XCM & BGRMods! I would like to throw another shout out to all of the people who attended EVO, everybody was just so friendly! We’ll see everybody again next year…
