Seth Killian, former Capcom employee wrote on his Twitter today that Japans most celebrated fighting game contestants will be attending EVO 2014.

Having been dubbed as the Japanese fighting game community's 'five gods', the arrival of some of the most acclaimed fighting game players of all time at the EVO 2014 Championship is a historic occasion for the tournament. Whilst EVO has fielded an immensely stacked international roster for the past years with players like Lee 'Poongko' Chung Gon, Lee 'Infiltration' Sun Woo and Bruce 'Gamerbee' Hsiang providing the tournament with incredible moments, what EVO has planned with the five most legendary Japanese players of all time will surely be a treat.
