This weekend had three major tournaments in preperation for Apex: Sumabato X17.5 in Japan, Worms Armageddon in Germany and Gorillaz Battle 2 in France. Since the results of international tournaments are often hard to find for SWF users and because they are particularly interesting two weeks before Apex I decided to gather them here in case anybody is interested in the results or background information on the players that you will meet in person soon.
Sumabato X17.5:
1st 9B
2nd Akira
3rd Souther
3rd Hayase :random:
3rd busa
3rd Gomamugitya
This tournament was held in west Japan [Osaka area] and had about 80 entrants. From what I heard the whole tournament was played as a one-stock round robin. This explains why there are 4 people tied for 3rd place but whether it makes the results representative or not is a different question. People who will go to Apex from this tournament are 9B, Kakera, Kuroobi, Earth and fuwa. Kakera won doubles with Sakasaka as his partner.
As usual, videos will be uploaded to the westsmash channel on youtube.
Gorillaz Battle 2:
1st Leon
2nd Glutonny
3rd Shaky
4th Dany
This one was held in Paris and had about 40 entrants but full results aren't available yet. Leon, Glutonny and Dany all might have used more than the one character listed. Leon and Bjay are the ones who will go to Apex - Bjay placed 5th with Metaknight.
Videos from french tourneys can be found on the SmashTurnoi channel on youtube.
Worms Armageddon:
1st cyve
2nd BluB
3rd Eddy
4th quiKsilver
Although the cap for this tourney was at 32 it had almost all of the current german PR in attendance and thus the results are pretty representative. Cyve had been knocked into losers pretty early in the bracket but made a huge comeback in losers beating quiKsilver, Eddy and BluB twice - there were several 3-stocks among those wins! Unfortunately cyve will not attend Apex but quiKsilver, Tay, (S!C), Desti and AscWolf [who all attended this tourney] will be there.
Germany uses the ssbbgermany channel on youtube for its videos.
Brackets, more detailed results and updates on videos will be posted as soon as they are available.
