Welcome to another weekly wrap up

MLG Anaheim (325 Singles Entrants) – 6/20/2014, Anaheim, CA

Esports Max interviews with Cloud 9 Mango

An exciting weekend of events that featured over 70 sets between the top 20 players. C9.Mango came out on top with his relentless Fox, using a mixture of strong shield-pressure and lasers. P4K EMP Armada went undefeated in pools, but could not muster enough to overcome Mango in finals. P4K EMP Mew2King showed some grit, beating PPMD for the first time in over 6 months and took Armada to game 5 before losing. Nonetheless, this is an exciting start to the summer of smash

4HYPE! (60 Singles Entrants) – 6/21/2014, Lawrence, KS

Midwestern regionals tend to be rare because all the major cities are spread out. Despite this, 4HYPE in Kansas had a strong turnout this year, with out of state attendance from Colorado, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. All four smash games were present at this tournament, with Melee getting 60 entrants and PM with 74 entrants. Colorado had a strong showing with El Lovo, a Falco/Link main and Slip-N-Slide, a Luigi main both making it far in bracket. This was also the first tournament in three years that Nebraska has traveled out of state for, with JBM and Smeesh representing their region well. Meanwhile, up and comers R. Frizzle from Kansas and Shinobi (dubbed “Midwestballz” by D1 at Fighter’s Edge) from Columbia, MO continue their strong showings in this region by both taking 5th place. Ultimately, it was a handful of stressful game 5 sets in grand finals that determined the victor, marking darkatma’s first overall win against darkrain.
