[no1cares]

Anybody from Aurora, oswego, or close by on smashboards? Do you have know any local tourneys or maybe we can get together and start our own?

I'm kinda close over in the southwestern part of Naperville. There was another guy with a thread about Naperville as well.

You can go here and scroll down and browse the upcoming events in the Midwest region, there's quite a bit of activity in Illinois but at varying distances from where we are: http://smashboards.com/forums/tournament-listings.51/?prefix_id=3

Hey, I'm the Naperville guy! We're still working on getting a venue and TVs for a tournament right now, but if you'd be down to come, that'd be awesome! I could keep you updated if you'd like?

Hey dude, Events2Compete holds Chicago tournaments at Mad River on Wednesdays and a free tournament at Stadium Bar and Grill in Rolling Meadows on Sundays. We also travel a bit, we just got back from WI for a regional called Great Revival with Mew2King in it. Let me or @CHOMPY know if you're interested and want more details! :D

That's neat thanks for the info. I dont see myself going to tourneys on the weekday, but sunday can work!

For sure, we also have E2C monthlies on Saturdays!

 

[Casval]

What's the skill level like at the e2c events? I'm assuming Melee is super competitive, but how's the talent in Smash 4? I'd like to at least get one win in lol

 

[RamenKing1]

Loads of players of all skill levels go there. JJRockets and Akiro seem to be tied for #1, both playing Diddy and Sheik respectively and both usually had to go against M2K in semis/grands out of state and it seems close each time. There's also players who are almost consistently top 10. I'm personally consistently top 20. I'm usually the unlucky one who gets to fight M2K first match, right after pools.... so far anyway. Both at Ohio and Wisconsin, when I made it out of pools, I had to fight that man first XD;

Anyway, most of us who represent E2C get out of pools when we're out of state, make top 32, and a majority makes top 10. I got 9th in Wisconsin. So I'd like to say we've got a huge knack for talent here in the Chicagoland area.

Edit: I'd also like to point out that everything's seeded based on skill level, so you won't have to worry about winning too much until you hit top 32, imo.

 

[Casval]

Looks like I'm gonna need to get a lot of practice in.

If there's a lot of Diddy and Sheik players I'm gonna need to practice against them too. I'd love to be able to succeed with Ike since he's my favorite character, but he's not as viable competitively. I'd hate to have to resort to using ZSS even though I'm probably better with her.
