Mission Statement (Taken from their website)
Our main goal is to improve and develop the current quality of European streams. Insipired by the high standards of streaming companies such as VGBootcamp and Clash Tournaments our goal is to bring European Super Smash Bros. streams to the next level.
Even though we also stream traditional Fighting Games our main focus is targeted towards Super Smash Bros, especially the series second installment Super Smash Bros Melee.
Our Qualities
As a company based in Germany one of our biggest qualities is our reliability and our technical know-how. Our main streamer Liva has been part of Salty Playground and VGBC and has proven himself as one of the premier streamers within the entire fighting game community. Liva has already streamed several european majors including Europe’s biggest Smash Tournament ever: B.E.A.S.T 5
