9Tales
Smash Apprentice
Hey Guys! Time for (I Think) the final announcement in this tidal wave of announcings.
Although I’ve only been regularly coming to Salem for a little over 2 months now I still haven’t probably met all of you but hopefully at least most of you know me. If not I’m 9Tales, a RosaLuma main with passable results who’s also just a cool dude, with a good sense of humor, charming features, and a humble ego.
So this announcement is for a special Campaign called The Salem Hype Up! This is a project I’m heading up along with Jaxas with the intent of upgrading the quality of the media Salem produces and the tournaments it throws. The ultimate end goal is to just grow the scene in Salem and in Oregon as a whole, getting more casuals and extra-regional’s interested in watching our tournaments and drawing in more players to increase the amount of overall hype!
This campaign is three fold.
1) We are looking to increase the quality of the commentary during tournaments and (pretty soon) while streaming. For this we are assembling an official Commentary Crew! Members of this crew will make sure that every match of the tournament is receiving quality commentary and will uphold themselves to a high standard with the intention of analyzing and improving upon the entertainment they provide alongside matches! Starting this upcoming weekend the match recording station will be manned only by members of this crew. To start we have a tiny base core of crew members however we can always use more hands to make sure we never run low on man power.

2) We are going to being raising funds to improve the quality of the equipment we use to record and play matches. Don’t worry this is not a fee we will ever impose upon anyone. Jaxas and I have been making a list and budgeting to figure out what sorts of things we are hoping to provide for everyone. Types of equipment we’re hoping to get range form actual good quality microphones to things like a nice HD TV for the tournament’s main matches etc. There will be more on this in the future as we figure out exact fund goals and plan possible fundraising events. But for now we are going to officially open up to donations that will go into the Salem-Hype-Up Fund Pot. We’ll keep everyone in the loop on what we’re planning to get and how much we’ve raised so far and I’m sure we’ll find ways to gratify donors. Remember the end goal is to make all of this worth everyone’s while and no one has to feel obligated
3) The final fold of the three folds. In order to improve the quality of what we do we all need to Step Up Our Game! I’m sorry but this one is an obligation to everyone! We have a legit PR that updates monthly now so everyone should be motivated to climb the ranks and get their name out there. It’s on all of you to get good so that once everything is getting hyped up the matches we play are Seriously Really Hype! Find someone better than you and let them curb stomp you until your face is so numb you can stand up and hit them back! Practice your Tech skill and then show up and actually beat someone! It’s time we all moved our game to the next level!!
