New York City and the tri-state area are lacking competitive gaming events, especially ones that are accessible and welcoming to people of all skill levels. In order to become a social gaming nexus for casual and competitive players alike in the tri-state area, we’re holding the first of many Salt Mines NYC tournaments.
This tournament will feature Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Singles and Doubles, as well as various games as side events with various prizes!
Salt Mines NYC tournaments are open to people of all genders, races, and sexual orientations. We want this to be a safe space for players and spectators to participate. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make you feel comfortable attending this event.
