Four more tournaments get a boost to their Pokkén prize pools, courtesy of Evo.
Because of the huge contribution to Make-a-Wish International from fans of Pokkén Tournament during the Evo 2017 Player’s Choice donation drive, it was declared that while Pokkén would not see the main stage at Evo 2017 (that spot went to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3), Evo would provide $10,000 in pot bonuses to other Pokkén events this year. The first recipient was NorCal Regionals. Now, the last four events that will receive a $1000 boost to their Pokkén Tournament pot have been named, and are as follows:
The 4 remaining tournaments getting $1,000 pot bonus from @Evo are: Final Boss (NJ), Absolute Battle 8 (TX), SCR (CA), and Revo (London)!
