History
A short history on the Zenith series dates all the way back to 2006 with Alex and a crew called Killa Fleet. These tournaments started out small at a place in NYC called Web2Zone. KF supported Alex's events as he was just starting out himself as a TO and eventually started the NYC weeklies and ran them together.
But a larger installment called "Zenith" quickly became popular and lasted all the way to 2008. KF and Alex ran these together as well and it attracted a lot of big names (KDJ, PC) and was home to rising stars like Hax, Vanz, Tag, Jman to name some. Big crew competition was fierce during this time as well between KF and Deadly Alliance made for lot's of **** talk but helped spark the scene during this time.
As Zenith's became larger, a crew called TSA came in to help out these events in helping to get more people and running an efficient tournament together with Alex. Zenith's had a reputation for being well run, extremely fun, and a great Melee experience! Web2Zone itself as well as become a central point for training and hanging out (and bubble tea!). Over the course of time though Web2Zone had closed it's doors, but is always remembered:
[Taken from ROM3 this year!]
Alex had decided after the end of the Melee weeklies and with Brawl coming out, to retire the Zenith series. However, throughout time Melee has shown resilence all this time with huge tournament numbers from Pound 4, ROM, Apex, and Genesis all which demonstrate the love and competition people share for this game. Thusly we've decided to bring back the Zenith series and dedicate it solely to Melee as it was before!
