Atlantic North ENCORE SMASH 101

ENCORE SMASH 101


We got something new coming to Tuesday!!!

In collaboration with the community, we have put together an event for everyone!

ENCORE SMASH 101 will be running every Tuesday! The event is designed for all levels of players in a more casual setting.


Our goal is to:

- Help improve your game play
- Another chance to grind with a best of 5 format during top 16
- Give players of all skill levels a chance to play on stream
- Cost effective way to get more practice outside of our Thursday Bracket
- Learn new characters and matchups with our $1 Squad Strike bracket (Capped at 16 players)
- Work out those tournament nerves

Stream Info

The event will be streamed live from https://www.twitch.tv/encoreesportsusa

We will be uploading each night's VoD as a whole so you can go back and watch them. The VoDs are always on our YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/encoreesportsusa ) after the live event. We will be adding a dedicated playlist once the events start.


How to be involved

We are looking for people who want to offer some analysis/feedback to players while they are on stream. We would like to find people who understand mid-high level game play and can offer real-time discussion about it. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us at any of the listed places below.

We are evolving this event as it goes and we look forward to hearing feedback from the community on how we can better craft this event to meet your wants and needs to help you as a player/competitor!

We recommend you join our discord in order to ease communications and to accelerate the process: https://discord.gg/Ta3RqGW
