Vodafone EVO promises greater flexibility and control over sole traders' digital lives by enabling them to pay for their phone and airtime separately, creating monthly plans that suit their needs better than any off-the-shelf subscription.
Yesterday Qiddiya Gaming, which is backed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF). announced it was taking full ownership of RTS, making it the second-biggest stakeholder for Evo. Chief strategy officer Muhannad Aldawood called it "a strategic step that will further strengthen our esports business and unlock new opportunities across the broader gaming ecosystem." He added, "most importantly, this will enable Qiddiya to keep fueling the continued growth of Evolution Championship Series (EVO), the world's largest fighting game event since 1996, with unlimited potentials."
Evo has transformed from a small gathering at Cal Poly Pomona in 2003 into a massive fighting game convention held in Las Vegas, attracting thousands of players and fans from around the world.
