Feat The Green Missile (70 Singles Entrants) – 4/26/2014, Pompano Beach, FL
South Florida tournament that attracted many high skilled players from all over Florida and even a few out of state players from Mississippi.
Not only was the tournament producing great players with a top four payout but, the top 3 non sponsored players got to earn sponsorship opportunity to MLG Anaheim.
Some high quality matches were seen including having players such as the best Jigglypuff player in the world (Crs.Hungrybox), the best Samus in the East Coast (Plup), one of the inventors of many of Falco techniques (WhiteBoyWasted better known as Lamb chops), Top 8 Apex 2014 finisher and highly technical Fox (Colbol), one of the best Luigi’s in the world (Blea Gelo),a young Captain Falcon prodigy sponsored by Clash Tournaments (CT Wizzrobe), an amazing up and coming Falco main who nearly made it out of pools at Apex 2014 (VS Porkchops), and an old school player who many know as the Godfather of Ganondorf (Tippman)

EXPosure 9 (68 Singles Entrants) – 4/26/2014, Oak Park, IL
Chicago’s monthly EXPosure series returns with its 9th installation! EXPosure 8 blew attendance records from previous events out of the water with its many out of state players. EXP9 still managed to drum up a respectable number despite occurring on the same weekend as an MLG event 6 hours to the south, clocking in at 68 attendees in Melee and 67 in PM.
On the Melee side, Kels picked up his 6th monthly win with a 3-2 victory over ORLY in an incredibly entertaining first set, while Scythe managed to hold off a vengeful Oro?! in PM to take his 3rd PM EXPosure win.
VODs are available for viewing now on Windy City Smash’s twitch channel at http://www.twitch.tv/windycitysmash and should be going up shortly on their youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/windycitysmash

Thus far our largest turnout at East End Grille. We had great representation from multiple states including players from RI and Maine coming down to participate.

LADU4 (Look At Dat Up-smash 4) (43 Singles Entrants) – 4/27/2014, Philadelphia, PA
The fourth in UPenn’s flagship tournament series, LADU 4 featured newcomers and veterans alike stomping and upsmashing each other for a shot to become recognized as one of Philly’s finest. Over forty entered melee singles, and despite many strong showings and local upsets, nobody could stop VGBC | Hax’s pure domination as he cruised to another tristate tournament win. As singles winded down, a heavily-contested nine-on-nine crew battle between UPenn and “The World” featured on PhenomenonWorks’s stream. With the Penn team down to their last hopes, one of PW’s very own (PW | Deathnote, a brawl player who’s only recently picked up melee and is rapidly improving) tore through seven stocks to clinch the crew battle for the home team with one stock remaining. Along with several other well-run and well-attended Philadelphia-area tournaments, the success of the LADU series displays the recent revitalization of the Philadelphia tournament scene.

With a crowd of new faces and a power-struggle at hand, Melee in Vegas is strengthening.

Hall of Melee 3 (32 Singles Entrants) – 4/26/2014, Tilburg, The Netherlands
Small Local at gaming arcade Hall of Game. Featured singles and teams for both Melee and ProjectM. Apart from Jimmy sending Faab to losers bracket(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jAxXvUe8i8)the melee portion didn’t contain many surprises with Amsah winning singles as expected.
ProjectM held more surprises with Amsah’s Ivy encountering Mr-R’s Lucario for the first time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baOUKKne1v8). A 3-0 win in WF forced Amsah to take the gloves off and pull out his Sheik which resulted in the hypest Grand Finals our country has seen in Project M yet(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph43Amz-vdQ)

GameStruck (18 Singles Entrants) – 4/26/2014, Roanoke, Virginia
This was Roanoke’s first tournament in a very long time. Despite Bar Wars taking place on the same day, we had a nice turnout. 2 smashers from Maryland drove over 4 hours to come to this, which was surprising. DP made a great comeback in the losers bracket and defeated Savedge 3-2 twice in grand finals. We look forward to a bigger turnout next time.
