Hey everyone,

Me, Keitaro and the Apex staff were hired by Youmacon to head up their Super Smash Bros. events at their convention. We want all of you guys to attend. This will be something amazing as Youmacon is set to be huge for those who are casual gamers and those who are into the more competitive scene. We will have tournaments the entire weekend with cash prizes so do NOT be left out.





What is Youmacon?

Youmacon 2012 will be held at both The Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, and at Cobo Center. Last year, attendees started drawing in by the dozen, eventually filling the Mariott to capacity; that's over 10,000 otakus in one area at the same time! From cosplay contests, 24-hour gaming arcades, to music and anime panels, you name it! Everything you could ever want, right here in the Midwest as one of the fastest-growing anime conventions across the country! So from November 1-4, DMG will be sure to see you there to take part in all the action!

This tournament is going to be absolutely amazing! I've been talking about this with people for a bit, glad to see the official thread up since everything is all squared away.

For those of you questioning this, this is indeed an anime/gaming convention. This being said though, the tournament is going to be TOP NOTCH. This is being ran and streamed by the Apex Staff. This means we've got tournament hosts like Alex Strife, Keitaro, and D1 working on hosting the Smash events, and I'll be streaming both Melee and Brawl.

Be sure that you register ahead of time, as you do save money. Tournament registration is the day of, you just need entry to the convention prior online (or the day of if you pay extra). Might seem like a steep thing, but remember this is entry to the whole convention. And unlike many cons, Youmacon is open 24-7! Meaning once you get there, you're partying the entire time. This is truly going to be an experience unlike any other!

I also heard Dominon Gaming was going to be there for Street Fighter as well. The gaming scene at Youmacon will be huge this year.

I need a legit partner as well. I also live closer to Youmacon than anyone here. So I can house....but I may get a hotel room anyway.

And here I was hoping I'd get some free money this year.

I mean, it's still free, but now I have to break a couple familiar faces, and that's just not cool.

Michigan we need to go all out and defend our state from these EC invaders. We will rally the troops and defeat all who oppose us.

That means we may need to root for Rayquaza if he shows.
