WWE Superstar Xavier Woods announced that he would be attending EVO 2017 on his official Austin Creed Twitter account a few weeks ago. He had the unfortunate luck of a first round matchup in the TEKKEN tournament against Knee. Xavier has been posting to his social media accounts all day and set up a Windjammers tournament just for fun.

It is awesome to see him embrace the EVO community and foot the bill for the $300 prize pool. First place $200, and $100 for third place. Just don't finish second place.

UPDATE: Our own Ozzie Mejia finished in the Top 8!

A top 8 finish, but not enough to win. GGs, all! This was epic! #Windjammers #Evo2017
