San Diego Melee, let's dream...
Imagine a fantastic venue: a fully-open pub with quality lunch, dinner, and drink options to satiate an army of San Diego smashers. High-powered main and side streams with a dedicated stream team and qualified staff, ready to rock.
Imagine a tournament where San Diego's past and present ranked players, legends of our county's scene who have bullied you out of winners and losers brackets time and time again, are ineligible to play. Only your fellow unranked "Arcadians" stand in your way.
Imagine a 150+ player tournament where you've shined, kneed, and smashed your way to the Winner's Semifinals. You're on the main stage, with commentators screaming and players watching, with all of San Diego cheering you on as you make history.
San Diego's rising stars, what if you had the chance to show the world what you're made of?
Welcome to the San Diego "Arcadian", the biggest unranked Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament ever held at the University of California, San Diego!
