Smash Lord
Chosen by MLG to be the European qualifier for the 2014 Grassroots circuit, Republic of Fighters 3 gathered every top European player. Ending just shy of 200 entrants (almost half the entrants of the 8 games at the event), RoF3 became the 2nd largest European tournament of all time. With aMSa in the attendance thanks to a donation drive whose goal was reached in 4 days, RoF3 delivered with a lot of hype during the whole weekend.
Various facts (spoilers here, but after all, you're in a results thread)
- Leffen wins the tournament after a fantastic comeback! Defeated 3-0 by Armada in winners' finals, he takes his revenge with an impressive 6-0 in grand finals.
- aMSa was the guest for this event... and he delivered! Third in Melee Singles and 2nd in Project M, the Japanese player instantly became everyone's favorite, earning a standing ovation from the whole venue after his loss in losers' finals.
- Jeapie's Falcon makes its way to 7th place despite only facing Sheik players in the bracket! Many people say this matchup is the hardest for Falcon, but he seems not to care.
- Heavily represented as the host country, France is still lacking a top player as its best placing player, Salepâte, is only 9th.

Project M :
A Project M side event was held independently and gathered a fair number of attendants (it was hardly advertised, and PM isn't very popular yet in France, so 37 is an alright number).

Videos
Since we had different streamers, the videos have been uploaded on different channels.
Melee singles :
Most videos can be found on Salty Playground's channel
Top 8 should be on James Bardolf's channel. However, it seems that James had corruption issues with the files, and he's been uploading them slowly. I don't know how long it will take, and I may have the French stream version first.
Melee Doubles: everything is on Salty Playground's channel.
Project M : everything is on LeFrenchMelee's channel.
Photos
Many pictures have been taken at this event by the Republic of Fighters staff or by Seya, who also added quite a few new players in her Smasher mugshots collection. Check out these few examples with some of the top placing players :
