I'm partnering with the West Chester University Video Game Club to host the first large regional Super Smash Brothers Melee tournament in the Chester County PA area! We'd love to keep these going, so we'd love for you to come and show your support. From what we've been hearing so far, these can get huge!
The event will be Melee only, but because Smash 3DS will be out at the time, and P:M has been huge, the chance for a side event happening for those games is very possible. We have a ton of time, and a HUGE lecture hall venue with projectors and a full A/V system!
Please contact myself, or any of the event admins for questions, and we'll get back to you right away. All the info about the tournament is listed below. Get pumped!
