On November 15th/16th, NorCal will be hosting an Apex Qualifier in Oakland. Confirmed attendees so far include Mew2King, Hax, Silent Wolf, ColBol, Zhu, PewPewU, Shroomed, SFAT, HugS, MacD, DoH, Gahtzu, and Flash. Flash is the current top player in Japan (not The Ultimate Weapon unfortunately). Other likely entrants include The Moon, who is having his own fundraiser. Of course, you should also expect all your SoCal favorites like S2J, Fly Amanita, WestBallz, etc. to be there, though they have not confirmed yet. HungryBox has also shown some interest, and since Mango is moving back to California this week, he is another likely attendee. Don't be surprised if AZ shows up in full force, as Axe often comes to California regionals.

If you are on the West Coast, don't miss this tournament!! It will be streamed on twitch.tv/showdownsmash

SICK will tune in for sure

i've tuned into showdownsmash a couple times for weeklies(maybe?) and I think it was you Shreik who was commentating for some of it. what days are these usually on because I would like to tune in more often.

Tuesday nights we have a weekly in a bar, except this coming Tuesday, which will be our first week off in a long time. We have tournaments on many Saturdays though. Tune in this Saturday to see our monthly. I'll be commentating a lot of teams but probably not singles.

343, there aren't a lot of vods of Mexi, who you basically have to beat to get out of pools. I found him vs Weedlord as Ganon and it was close, and really old vods of him as both spacies that I didn't watch. You could potentially do it, I think.

That is fierce fierce competition.

Are seeds based on local/regional/national placements?

Thanks

I also found a vod of his Falcon vs Bizz's Ganon, and apparently he took a set... better make sure my neutral game is safe!!

yeah, approximately

there are some not-so-good 3rd seeds who are worse than 4th seeds though :/
