CEO 2015
This is the tournament to watch this weekend. CEO 2015 is the largest tournament for Smash before EVO 2015 and many major names across both Melee and Smash 4 will be in attendance. Smash 4 capped out its registration at 512, and Melee entries have hit 466 with only a 10% crossover rate, showing loads of players are coming for both games! The tournament will take place from June 26th through 28th and will be a Smash spectacular. Let's take a closer look at games:
Melee
Hungrybox, Leffen, Mang0, and Armada. Four of the "big six" will be in attendance at CEO 2015. The talent doesn't stop there however, Westballz, Colbol, PewPewU, Shroomed, Plup, s2j, SFAT, Zhu, MacD, Chillindude, Wizzrobe, The Moon, Abate, HugS, DJ Nintendo, Cactuar, darkrain, BizzaroFlame, and the list just keeps piling on with impressive talent coming to compete in Melee! With such massive amounts of talent, this could be a serious preview of what we may see at Evo 2015. A fantastic event preview on the Melee side of the event has been written up on MeleeItOnMe so be sure to check that out for more Melee goodness. With a pot bonus of $3000 dollars on the line, competition is sure to be at its fiercest.
Smash 4
Smash 4 as it stands has the most entries out of any game at CEO 2015 which is an impressive thing to manage! Talent has been poring in for the event across the globe for the event, with names like DKWill, NAKAT, falln, Shakey, Fatality, 6WX, NickRiddle, ESAM, Ryo, Trela, Phuzix, Larry Lurr, GimR, Dabuz, Nairo, 8BitMan, TheReflexWonder, Bloodcross, (IS THAT ENOUGH YET!?!?), ANTi, StaticManny, Mr.R, Tyrant, Seagull Joe, Vinnie, MJG, Pink Fresh, MVD, AND MORE! But even with all those names, the man to beat is definitely ZeRo.
