Too bad I don't live in Ohio. I can't wait until Online tournaments become a serious thing. I can only hope that in the future connectivity improves and I could compete in official online tournaments. Traveling is just so expensive and a lot of my peers, classmates, teachers and family would rather see videogames go away than sit down and play one game of smash with me for a change.

Wait... Does this mean that P:M has MLG support now???

Wait... Does this mean that P:M has MLG support now???

NO. PM cannot be supported by a professional gaming group as the game is a hack/mod. It will be there at the tournament, but receive no support from MLG themselves. This is a pretty important distinction that everyone needs to make or MLG will end up not allowing PM/PM tournaments at their venues lest they risk not having smash at all. #Nintendo
