Midwest ESI Presents: OSU Smash and Grab Bi-weeklies

[Esports Initiative]

OSU Smash & Grab
A Local Super Smash Bros. Tournament
Columbus, OH


​

Introduction

We have experience with events ranging from 100-400 in size and with the recent success of Shuffle VII we are looking to host smaller events! Our goal now is increase Smash awareness at The Ohio State University. We hope that students at The Ohio State University who love or have interest in Smash Bros. will come out and play with others that have the same interests by hosting bi-weekly tournaments!The Columbus Smash Scene has grown tremendously over the past few years and we are responding to the passion shown by our community in Ohio by hosting such an event. I hope you will consider coming to our event because we have so much to offer!

• Columbus Community - We have one of the biggest Smash scenes and best Smashers in the Midwest.
• Spectating is free of charge.
• Our TO Staff has been through a lot together and our experience will provide a quality experience.
  • Along with Shuffle, we have monthly tournaments called Screw it and had great success ranging with our latest one having 120+ attendants.
    
  • ESI Suyon has also hosted the TTTT series with great success.

We are new to hosting bi-weekly tournaments so future event rules and formats may change.

[Suyon]

I am sorry to inform you Dessro that there will not be an event on the 16th. We will not have a venue for that day. Sorry for the inconvenience. December 2nd, was the last Biweekly for Smash & Grab. I do not know if there will be more in the upcoming future. If we do resume again then I will post it on Facebook and on Smashboards.

Also sorry to the other people who posted and did not get any reply. We mostly use Facebook for our upcoming events.
