Fight Pitt 4 (174 Singles Entrants) – 4/19/2014, Pittsburgh, PA
Fight Pitt is a tournament series that has seen exponential growth, and the fourth installment was no exception. With 174 Melee entrants crammed into a single day, it was quite a daunting task. Sacrifices were made by all the Project:M players when the P:M side event was cancelled. Duck also forfeited his Loser’s Final match with M2K so that the event could finish in time. The tournament ended with the finalists in an empty room as a venue worker threatened to call the police, while dozens of spectators crowded around the building and watched the stream from their phones. Eventually, Mango was crowned champion.
On a side note, GimR was not actually arrested, nor did police arrive at the venue.
