Smashers,

Yesterday, Alex Strife announced the first details of Apex 2014 - an international Smash tournament featuring every Super Smash Brothers game taking place January 17-19, 2014. Apex has a long history as the premier Smash tournament and last year attracted 770 entrants across the three main events - still the largest Smash tournament to date. To ensure Apex 2014 continues the explosive growth of the competitive Smash community, Smashboards will for the first time in it's 13 year history enter into an official partnership with a live tournament. This fulfills a long-held goal of putting Premium Membership funds straight back into the community and every Smasher who has supported Smashboards over the years has helped make this partnership with Apex 2014 a reality.

Smashboards will provide a series of special features as part of the sponsorship deal. Some of the features are outlined here:
  • The Apex 2014 sticky thread 6 months in advance of the event
  • The Apex 2014 - An International Phenomenon subforum
  • Coming soon: Apex qualifier tags in tournament listings
  • An Apex user postbit icon for any player who registers and has a Smashboards account at the time of the event
Other aspects of the deal will roll out periodically to help promote the tournament. This partnership is made possible through the dedicated support and continued interest of the Smash community in both Smashboards and the Apex Tournament Series.
