[Nov 22, 2014] BUST: Apex World Circuit & New England Melee Games Finals! $1000... (Boston, MA)

​

BUST will be held at the BU College of Arts and Sciences in Boston, MA.

Major events in Boston have thus far shown to pull crazy numbers, and BUST is likely to continue this trend! With the backing of the Apex World Circuit we anticipate this to be one of the best events New England has seen this year!

Check out the event on Facebook, and join the New England Melee group to meet players in the area.

BUST is excited to be bringing the Apex World Circuit to Boston!

See you there

Sorry, I posted a message here relevant to another thread. You can delete this if you want. :I

 

[Kude]

hey, so quick question. I'll be arriving in Boston that day, but won't make it in time for singles pool one. So, I was wondering if there's a way I could go in as a spectator, and if there's a fee or something like that for spectators. Big thanks in advance, and hope to see y'all there!

 

[Ridel]

This has peeked my interest I'll have to see if I have anything to do that weekend.

 

[Da Loc]

I'm interested in attending only if I could find a teammate for doubles. I'm not that good so I'd contribute $2 to my teammate. Let me know if anyone is interested, otherwise I'm going to kings of New England for PM in CT.

 

[ProfMak]

Is this also a qualifier for smash 64 for Apex 2015?

Is this also a qualifier for smash 64 for Apex 2015?

It looks to be Melee only so there will be no 64 qualifier at this event.

 

[Da Loc]

Well I preregistered but still looking for a partner.

I'm driving from out of state. What is the parking situation. Lots/meters/garages etc
