As mentioned in a previous article, WHOBO: MLG marks the six year anniversary for the Texas-born series. Now less than two weeks remaining before day one (May 3rd) of the tournament, it's still anyone's guess as to who will become this year's champion of the main event. With every previous WHOBO bringing in hundreds of entrants for a variety of events, WHOBO: MLG promises some ferocious matches amongst the elite Smashers of each game.
The winner of Super Smash Bros Brawl wins this well crafted Diamond Motif Trophy.
Hosted at the Zuma Fun Center in Houston, Texas, WHOBO: MLG is structured to appeal to every type of Smasher, be the preference 64, Melee, Brawl, or Project: M. There will be teams and singles events in every game. In addition, there is a side event for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, including 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, and even low tier!
Xyro77 and Airbrush_King have also raised the stakes, each donating $100 to both the Brawl and Melee prize pools!
The player pool is something worth any Smasher's attention, bringing in some of the best talent, old and new. Special guest CT ZeRo will be in attendance, along with a majority of Texas finest in the last 6 years for Brawl (Gnes, Dojo, UltimateRazer, Trela), each with a huge influence over the evolution of Brawl in Texas since 2008.
Project M also promises a strong showing, bringing Oracle, Denti , Sethlon, and other high-calibur players to the table for some intense sets.
Melee rounds out the cast with a showing from two of the best, MaNg0 and Hax. Being an MLG Grassroots event, WHOBO: MLG grants seeding points for future MLG events to the top 32 players, providing many with opportunities to have a strong showing at MLG Anaheim.
