Press Start LAN (222 Singles Entrants) – 5/10/2015, Irvine, CA

20150509_151031

 Press Start was a big LAN event where one of the 2 main events was Melee. They offered Melee and 10k flat pot and it drew attention from many top players. This tourney will go down in the history books for so many good and controversial reasons. It had a huge pot, ran well, had an amazing stream by Showdown, Gods falling left and right, an analyst desk by Tafokints, but also had 3 top players DQ’d and some controversial opinions on seeding and DQ’s.End of day we were left with some amazing matches. Leffen beating m2k with a 4 stock but he was also defeated by Hugs in pools and SFAT in winners bracket. Lucky had his fun taking out Hungrybox in winners. This meant no gods were in winners semis, all were in losers duking it out. SFAT also had the closest set with Hungrybox. We were left with a nail biting finish where both players stood up. On the other hand, Mango ran his train through losers making it seem like this tourney was just a walk in the park. Impressive showing by many players, which just slowly proves the gap between all of the top talent is shrinking.
