Smash Europe Announces The European Smash Circuit (ESC)

[LiteralGrill]

Smash Europe has announced they will be holding the first iteration of the European Smash Circuit. ESC is currently take place across seven countries from May 2015 until January 2016. Currently only the Melee qualifiers have been announced, though there are plans to have Wii U qualifiers as well.

At each associated event, 15% of the Singles pot will go to the final prize pool, and at the end of the circuit the top 3 ranked players will receive payouts in a 60-30-10 distribution. Players are only eligible for the prize money if they have attended at least three qualifiers for their respective game, this even goes for non European players who are allowed to participate.

Streams of the events will be provided by GeekyGoonSquad and Salty Playground which fans will most certainly want to tune into with the best European players in attendance. For more information on ESC, visit its section on the Smash Europe website.

SmashCapps is incredibly excited for this and plans to tune in for every tournament. Follow him on Twitter to discuss who the top 3 players will be using the hashtag #eurosc15

This is gonna be amazing.

 

[SmashRayner]

I'm excited to see what European players bring to the table.
Let's see how this goes.

 

[TreK]

Ayy, I'm coming to hf.lan and probably Heir 2 and Beast 6

I'm a PM player but this will definitely bring the hype for me when spectating Melee and Smash 4 :V

 

[Kurogal]

Is it mostly gonna be European players like Armada and Leffen there, or are there a lot of other smashers like Mang0, M2K, Hungry Box, aMSa and ZeRo there?

 

[Ryuker]

They're welcome to attend

 

[KyroChao]

Hype is real, hope i'll be able to watch it

Haha, I'm guessing one of their goals is to make it so you're able to name more than two European players by the end of the year

But to answer your question, I know Zhu is attending hf.lan, and Mang0 and aMSa both have attended EU tournaments this year and last year respectively, so yeah it's possible that you might get to see some familiar faces.

 

[Ryuker]

That's one of the goals yeah, a circuit should make it easier to follow along and recognize the players that compete in it.

 

[Marshtomper]

I'm hyped af for all these, probably most for Heir II, since it is the only UK one on there :3

 

[pikazz]

oh! something actually happens in sweden! this is something I must join :D

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

[AaronTooNerdy]

[cacatod12]

[LiteralGrill]

I hope they do something like this for latin america

Well, Smash Europe might not be able to, but maybe a "Smash LAtin Amera" could. Somebody make an organization stat!

 

[90007000]

Wait, Smash Europe? Smash had an entire CONTINENT named after it?

 

[Aygent]

I love how nobody is being a John about no PM. Anytime the USA does something like this, people are like "I won't support it cause no PM." or some other stuff. Either way, HYPED to see the best of Europe.

 

[AJawesome07]

wow, this is awesome. The US, and even different regions in the US should do something like this.

 

[Game 5]

Helix is going to be amazing. We promise.

 

[Keman]

"I won't support it cause no PM.".

See that's the thing most if not all of these will actually have PM at the event.

 

[DestinNotDustin]

I hope they do something like this for latin america

I'm know there is a scene in South America. Talk to your local tournament organizers (or become one yourself) and get the ball rolling. :-)
