I. Introduction

My name is Chi, also known in the community as clowsui. This is the sixth installment of events at Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema in Greensboro, North Carolina. Typically Brawl gets entries of 15-25 people, and PM and Melee get around 40-50 people. Individuals of all skill levels come to participate, many of the for the first time; and so far I have never had a dissatisfied customer. So if you live in the NC area and are interested in joining the community, come on out!


II. Venue Information

Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, located at 2134 Lawndale Drive, Greensboro, NC, is as you might guess a coffee parlor. The venue owner is interested in showcasing and providing a space for gaming communities in order to show off the positive power of gaming. As we all know, the Smash community is much like a family for all its members. So you might say that this venue is perfect for us. But how about some concrete details about the place?

- 8 TVs already at the venue and available for us to use, meaning we can support up to 40-50 players on their equipment alone provided people bring systems.
- A HUGE amount of floor space
- Air conditioning
- Delicious beverages available for purchase
- Food nearby, including Chipotle very close by
- Did I mention delicious beverages available for purchase?
- Open until 2 a.m. on Saturdays
- Accessible by GTA, fairly close to highway


If you have any doubts still about this place, have no fear! Pictures will be on their way soon. Lauren and I simply forgot to take some when we went to check it out.

V. Miscellaneous
- Melee and Brawl on this Sunday, PM and 64 on the next. This prevents entry cap.

- I actually don't care about DQ'ing people. I'm pretty bad at saying no but I'm also pretty dead set on wanting to get out as early as possible. You should be too. Crews and side events are fun, and so is going out to eat.
- Try to take cool photographs at this event and post them up afterwards through IG/FB etc. If we see a lot, there will be chances for venue reduction too.


- Re: schedule. I obviously don't expect everything to go perfectly, but in the end all the shorter/longer matches should balance out and the small breaks that people take will balance out also. Trust me.
- Please be responsible and respectful. Smokers (of all kinds), please USE COMMON SENSE.

Shoutouts to EMB for that clutch comeback (I won't give it up that easily next time) and to the guy who beat me in the G&W ditto $1 money match. Saw a lot of people I haven't seen in a while, fun tourney all around. I brought a few of my friends who got cleaned out pretty fast, but they all had a good time.

Will there be a results thread?
