She thanked the Fighting Game Community (FGC) for coming to the first post-pandemic EVO event, calling the community one of the most wholesome that she has ever interacted with. imane @imanefgc is one of the most wholesome & welcoming communities i’ve come across in all my years of gaming.thank you for an amazing evo 15381777fgc is one of the most wholesome & welcoming communities i’ve come across in all my years of gaming.thank you for an amazing evo Back in October 2021, Imane became a co-owner of the EVO tournament due to her ties to RTS. Founded back in 1996, the Evolution Championship Series is a yearly fighting video game-focused esports championship. Recently, the major tournament was held from August 5 to August 7 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and featured various announcements and contests for video games, as well as a PlayStation lounge. Thank you for an amazing EVO EVO co-owner Pokimane hails fans for being a fantastic community EVO 2022 featured nine titles, with players across 63 countries representing their nation in an all-out brawl. Major tournaments for some of the most popular fighting games, including Mortal Kombat 11, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, and the newest entry, MultiVersus, were held at the event. The intensity of various matches in EVO 2022 clearly highlights the heights of the fighting game esports scene, making it one of the most competitive worldwide. Being one of the largest yearly competitions ever, it draws a large number of aspiring professional players with exceptional skills and talent to compete against one another. Pokimane, CCO of RTS and thus a co-owner of EVO, posted a celebratory tweet congratulating the Fighting Game Community, describing it as one of the best gaming communities she has ever seen. She also directly thanked the fans for their support: "FGC is one of the most wholesome & welcoming communities i’ve come across in all my years of gaming. thank you for an amazing evo." Sony and RTS acquired EVO in March 2021 to much fanfare. As co-founder of RTS, Pokimane’s position within the company makes her one of the co-owners of EVO. This year's tournament was highly anticipated by fighting game fans for a number of reasons, the primary one being that EVO 2021 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Twitter reacts to Pokimane praising the FGC As expected, the popular streamer's praise for the Fighting Game Community garnered significant attention on social media. Many gamers took to Twitter to appreciate the Twitch star's gesture and words, with both esports fans and professionals alike thanking her as well.
