Evolution 2017 has come to an end. As usual, the world’s largest fighting game tournament drew a number of eyeballs to it’s main stage. Thanks to the efforts of SRKRanking and Reddit, we have a reasonably clear snapshot of how each game preformed at this year’s event on Twitch.tv.
From SRKRanking, we have peak performance numbers on the main evo channel:

And from Reddit user Starfirefeet, we have the peak viewer numbers for each game:
- KOF XIV (Friday) – 32,760
- Guilty Gear Xrd REV2 (Saturday) – 38,518
- Injustice 2 (Saturday) – 45,557
- Super Smash Bros. Melee (Saturday) – 128,121

As noted in the detailed breakdown of the stats on Reddit, these numbers may not account for outside forces, such as: other streaming services/ESPN/DisneyXD not being counted and Twitch being down for one hour during Smash 4 finals.
