Just one week after UFGTX, before the dust from the hype had even settled, EXP Gaming's monthly EXPosure series debuted it's 10th edition. Attendance was a little slumped compared to the record highs we saw at the last few EXPosures, but the matches saw no drop off in quality.
Melee came in at just under 50 entrants and offered little in the way of surprises. Bieber came out to make a statement, showing close sets against Kels in both Winner's and Grand Finals. In the end, however, Kels triumphed once more, taking his 6th EXPosure Melee crown.

PM, on the other hand, was full of upsets. Oro?! dropped his first tournament set ever to Lazarond. ORLY's Falcon kicked into high gear, earning him his highest placing at an EXPosure in PM, at 4th. Kirk didn't make it out of pools, and Kels continued to struggle in PM, placing outside of the top 8 once more. On the other hand... Metroid repeated his performance from Wednesday, earning him a solid second place behind a new champion; Plasma.

Plasma clutched out a few tight sets on his way to Winner's Finals where he forced Metroid to switch from his Charizard to Ike. After 5 grueling games, Plasma made Grand Finals through winner's side, where eventually Metroid returned but was once more unable to find a way to deal with Lucas, and Plasma earned his first EXPosure PM victory.

Challonge brackets have not yet been uploaded to Smashboards, but I'll update the thread with them when they are so everyone can claim points. For now, enjoy the 16 man Melee and 32 man PM bracket results done old school.

Once again, I don't have specific placings for everyone who didn't make it out of pools, because those results were done by hand offline. Sorry! Only bracket results.
