Fans get to watch competitors and see what developers have planned for the near future. EVO is more than just a series of esports tournaments; it is a chance for the fighting game community to grow and celebrate the unique video game genre.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since a good number of players in past United States-based EVO events were Japanese, EVO Japan was created to encourage more Eastern-based players to compete. This year\u2019s EVO Japan 2024 is going to be held at the Ariake GYM-EX in Tokyo from April 27-29, 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the tournaments that will be held for Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Guilty Gear Strive, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Street Fighter III: 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Strike, The King of Fighters XV, and Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes, some of the participating games have events of their own to get people hyped for EVO Japan 2024. In the case of Guilty Gear Strive, one of these events is the appearance of the recently crowned Arc World Tour 2023 champion Ismaila \u201cVerix\u201d Gueye at the Arc System Works booth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ARC WORLD TOUR 2023 champion Verix comes to Japan!<br>See him at the Arc System Works Booth at EVO Japan 2024 taking part in kumite and exhibition matches!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AWT2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AWT2024<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GuiltyGearStrive?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GuiltyGearStrive<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EVOJ24?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EVOJ24<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wjr4clSd68\">pic.twitter.com\/wjr4clSd68<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ASW_esports \u2503Arc World Tour 2024 (@ASWesports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ASWesports\/status\/1781216409974174046?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 19, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for his Nagoriyuki play, Verix burst onto the Guilty Gear scene in 2021. After winning several tier 3 InterContinental Fight Club Europe Season 2 events in his first year, Verix went on to win Ultimate Fighting Arena 2022 and The MIXUP 2022. 2023 was another great year for the Senegalese player as he won EVO Championship Series 2023 and CEOtaku 2023 before capping off with an Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023 victory. Verix\u2019s recent win at Arc World Tour 2023 saw him triumph over Molham \u201cSlash\u201d Qazili\u2019s May play in a very close 3:2 result.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I will be going to Evo Japan this year !

Instead, he will be there to play against other players in exhibition matches. Fighting other players to measure and strengthen skills is one of the pillars of growth for fighting game players, even if there is no money involved. Verix took to X (formerly Twitter) to say that he is looking forward to visiting Japan and fighting the best Guilty Gear Strive players the country has to offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guilty Gear Strive\u2019s EVO 2024 line-up consists of Japanese players such as Masaya \u201cGOBOU\u201d Shiratori, TY, and FAB. It will also include well-known international players like Korea\u2019s Moon \u201cDarkNecro\u201d Cheol-jin, United States\u2019 Matthew \u201cTempestNYC\u201d Tulloch, and Sweden\u2019s William \u201cLeffen\u201d Hjelte. Even without Verix competing in the tournament, EVO Japan 2024 already has some good names bringing some good fights for the upcoming weekend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guilty Gear champion Ismaila \u201cVerix\u201d Gueye will be making an appearance at EVO Japan 2024 at the Arc System Works booth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":29911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-29907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
