Although the MLG Qualifier season has ended, the action continues in the Midwest this weekend with Super SWEET, a two-day, 150+ person Melee and Project M regional in Ann Arbor, MI. Tournament organizer Robin “Juggleguy” Harn, director of “The Big House” series, is coordinating the event in classic grassroots fashion along with the Michigan Smash community. The tournament format will feature multiple waves of round robin pools that lead into an exciting final Sunday bracket, encouraging a thrilling lineup of stream matches while finishing in a timely manner. Two simultaneous livestreams are set to broadcast the action this weekend: VGBootCamp (all weekend) and MeleeItOnMe (Sunday only). MIOM’s dynamic duo, Bobby “Scar” Scarnewman and Kristopher “Toph” Aldenderfer, will be active on the commentary throughout the event, as well as Team OXY’s very own Arian “TheCrimsonBlur” Fathieh and infamous Midwest funnyman Nick “PGH Carroll the GOAT” Carroll.

great article but PGH Carroll is on of the least funny human beings on the planet. Pretty cringeworthy when he’s on the mic
YES.
i’m getting spoiled here. commentary schedule? wow
long live scar+toph btw
Axe isnt anywhere in the predictions? I would think he is a shoo-in for top 8.
Axe is definitely making top 8; I’d have him placing above KK (though I’m really glad to see him playing again). And that’s an awful lot of PGH Carroll; I always mute it when he’s on.
YES…
I will one up you, jjan. I will make the bold prediction that he places higher than Armada. I’m not convinced that Armada is in peak form yet, and I think Axe can beat him if he counterpicks correctly.
Inb4 Armada takes it.
What did I say?
Carroll hype
wish they got a bigger venue, maxing at 150 is laaaame.
