Two words for ya: Holy crap.
I have to say, I thought his Duo Lon would do well, but I never thought he’d go that far!!!! Tremendous!!!!
Did you hear the chants for KOF at the end? Awesome!!!!! EVO’s KOF was everything we could have hoped for. Surely KOF can only grow from this point.
Congrats are due to everyone who took part and made this the best EVO ever: the players, the fans, the commentators, the stream monsters… AND YOU.

About Oyaji
all final match hype was stolen by KOF this year, congrats to both bala & mad kof for the great match, so intense 🙂
My apologies that I’ve been gone for so long, I just fazed out from the net. But totally forgot come back to this place when I’m back… ;_;
Totally missed out on EVO, I never tought Bala would lose. Come on, he’s still great to be on the top 2 (I know I can’t), but I always rooted for newcomers. What a bloody upset to a brilliant final match! Kudos to everyone who was present!!! 😉
It was an amazing event for KoF and the fact that many non gamers and fg players were so enthralled by this matches even when acknowledging they didn’t know anything about the game, is the biggest triumph here in my opinion because of all the potential new players that will be lured to the game.
Also, I think that first to 20 set between Mexico and Korea was crucial for the tournament’s outcome, BALA defeated every Cafe ID player because his Billy was giving them so much trouble and I think it was there that MadKoF realized that if he could take his Billy on point he would have great chances of beating BALA.
And finally, I dont think SF4 is dying, and to be fair it would be a shame if that was the case because from the current 3 Capcom games out there, SF is the most honest of the three, it’s just that it can become kind of predictable and “boring” to some people because of how strict the game is with the character match ups. If anything, I dont think we’ll see SfxT, Mk and maybe SC5 next year, TTT2 will definitely replace one of those. But what should be a given is KoF will be back! Along with Marvel and AE.
WOW really? god damn SF4 is dying? That’s what Capcon deserve for their recent shenanigans in the last couple of years.
SF5 might be out sooner than we think….
No wonder Capcom want a CVS3 and are begging SNK for it……
KOF 2nd biggest game at EVO that is truely amazing.
Please SNK make another online patch, this game is going to grow.
KOF FOREVER!
90K TO 77K Stay free SF4 :p
UMVC3 made 95k but SF4 did 77k, so less than KOF!!! Sick!
You’re right, we couldn’t have asked for a better showing at EVO.
KOF was over like Hogan/Rock, it should only grow from here, I also watched most of EVO and kept a record of the stream views, which were….
soul cali 46k
SFxTK 48k
MK 66K
VF 46K
KOF 90K
90 fn k people! Now I know some will say people were waiting for Marvel, well that’s not true because the numbers dropped when KOF went off (but likely went back up once Marvel came on eventually), and I took each stream number at its highest point for all mentioned.
SF4 and Marvel I did not stay up to watch so dont have those numbers, but I’m guessing 100+k for both of them, but they dont even count, since they’re the big two and always will be.
For KOF to get the 3rd highest is nothing short of amazing, 3rd place is like No1 for all other fighters outside the big two.
The numbers dont lie, KOF has every right to be back next year, with the hype, the stream numbers and high level play, theirs no reason it shouldn’t be there.
SoulCali and SFxTK will both get dropped, replaced by Tag2 and one of the Arcs games, DOA5 might even have a shout (its actually the first time I’ve been interested in DOA since psone/DC days).
I’m glad Bala lost, no diss to him, he seems like a cool guy, but his followers were just totally disrespectful chanting you know what at the Korean players, glad they got salt poured down their throats afterwards.
The finals themselves were amazing, for a sec I thought Bala was going to pull it back, changing round too many times, instead of sticking to his guns cost him in the end, that’s going to burn him for a whole year now, but now we know Bala is human after all.
Dark Geese wont like this but Korea is officially the best in the world in KOF13, Cafeid they came and conquered, with MadKOF leading the charge, 4 Cafeid members in the top 5, that’s just crazy.
Great show and thanks and well done to all those that took part.
Nice! Thanks for the vids Gunsmith.
Told u about Duo Lon, but I never thought he would give ppl this much trouble. Considering Bala also knows how to use Lon at high level it was weird watching him decide how best to counter pick him. There was dropped combos aswell from both sides.
Great stuff overall, CafeID domination! Back to more Lon practice. . .
