I'M NOT YELLING is the third tournament in the "post-Genesis NorCal grassroots Melee regionals" series (ha); it's the sequel to The Next Episode and Do You Fox Wit It?, and this time, it's bigger and better than ever before.
Featuring 372 entrants--a record for NorCal Melee tournaments--and 25 (!) MIOM Top 100-ranked players, this tournament will be a must-watch! Mango will have his shot at revenge against the Swedish invaders Leffen and Armada for eliminating him from Apex 2015; the strongest players in NorCal (PewPewU, Shroomed, SFAT, HomeMadeWaffles, Laudandus, SilentSpectre, Bizzarro Flame, Darrell, Toph, Scar) and SoCal (Westballz, Fly Amanita, Lucky, MacD, HugS, Ken, Tafokints, Santiago/Lil Fumi) will do their best to take out the 3 of the top 6 in attendance and try to defend their home region against out-of-region powerhouses KirbyKaze, DruggedFox, and Frootloop.
It'll be streamed on http://twitch.tv/showdownsmash, with a secondary stream at http://twitch.tv/showdowngg. Showdown is arguably the best streamer in Smash, featuring high-quality equipment and layouts, and possibly some new "secret tech" that'll be revealed at the tournament!
BONUS: Also featuring a doubles round robin! Group 4 (Mango + SS, Shroomed + Leffen, MacD + SFAT, PewPewU + Armada) won the fan voting!

Sounds super amazing :D The teams tournament itself is also going to be super stacked, with pewfat and shroomed+armada
SO HARD to pick from these! Ended up voting for #4, #1 looked interesting for Mango vs Armada and PewFat and #3 was attractive for Mango + leffen vs Armada + Macd, but #4 overall had the most interesting pairs and seemed the most balanced

ehhhh PPU + Armada and Shroomed + Leffen seem a lot stronger than the other two teams in option 4
also why did Sheridan seed you 5th? gettin slept on
Oh hey, didn't realize you knew my TL screen name.
I agree PPU+Armada and Shroomed+Leffen are probably strongest, but Mango+SS was probably most hype pairing possible for SS, and I think all the teams have a chance.
But yeah I guess I have to actually play in tournaments outside of Berkeley if I want to get seeded at events :p I expected the tournament to be super tough anyway though, so I don't really mind how I'm seeded either way (Not that my pool looks that hard compared to a couple others, though).
yeah I considered titling it IM NOT YELLING but that looks obnoxious

I know all (nah but seriously i knew this was your username back from iccup in like 2010, i'm pretty sure)

yeah, i'm 3rd seed for some weird reason, but i'm pretty scared of the lower seeds LOL
i'm probably one of the bottom 5 3rd seeds in skill tbh, while players better than me like cpt faceroll / corigames are unseeded (??)
Pretty excited for this. West coast tournament means finals will probably end so late on sunday evening that I can't technically watch it even if I don't have to sleep before work.
