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.

E-Sports Initiative (formerly OSI) is a student organization that partners with companies in the digital media and e-sports industries. We equip entry-level talent with the skills, insight, and experiences that will help them launch their careers in the rapidly-maturing interactive media and video game development space, while connecting companies in the industry to this talent pool. As of fall 2013, E-Sports Initiative is focused on addressing the specific subset of STEM education that relates to the video game industry- computer science and engineering, data analytics, mathematics, and technical design and graphics. We aim to provide certification programs, unique insight into the industry, and networking and leadership development opportunities to future employees in the industry on a national scale through our network.
