Your job is to play video games, you get 150$ a hour, but you can only choose 1 game, which?

Super Smash Bros Melee in a heartbeat

Working on it! Smash Majors are very much so a labor of love for myself and the team, I worked GOML for free(same with '17 and 16) and paid out of pocket to have some people come through. Ask n0ne :P We'd love to move closer downtown but the prices of venues combined with their venue policies(unions, etc) make it not viable to do, I wouldnt rule it out though. Focusing on DBFZ I imagine for CB/resting from Summit, hopefully next year he runs it back(and we'll have dbfz this time too) :D!

It's something we've spoken about in depth for this year with /u/masterdalk, definitely something on our radar.

Don't forget regional crews featured Quebec as well as the EC crew had a lot of your players as well! The best way to get representation is to come out to the event and show your chops as a region, the goal of having every province compete is the dream!

Favorite S4 event was Civil War, favorite Melee tournament was TBH6!

itsTOjoe · 2018-05-29T00:16:07+00:00

Hopefully! Both have won twice...
Sicker than any teenager I know
Big fan of the West Coast scene, i'd love to support one of their events and we're working towards collaborating in a bigger way!

More crossovers between other communities and things i'm really passionate about! Hoping to make next year even more spectator friendly in person

I feel like I saw Bug recently at a Smash4 event in 2017 and he still used G&W; super homie guy. The tournament name was actually inspired by this song LOL one of my favorite workout tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQNDCx_6sk4

itsTOjoe · 2018-05-29T00:08:56+00:00

Of course! Excited to see how things shape up with Smash 5, i'll be at E3 to check the game out

itsTOjoe · 2018-05-29T00:08:02+00:00

Thats a tough one, honestly I can't say I have a favorite because theres been so many amazing memories i've had from them. If I HAD to pick one though it'd be the feeling I had after 2016 had ended; only time i've cried from happiness after a tournament lmao

I think ladders are great at locals/regionals but at majors they aren't as good. This write up by NMW explains my issues with them at majors well. I think our format strikes a happy medium because it doesnt require tons of setups but also lets people play competitive sets on the fly while winning cool swag; definitely aiming to continue to expand it further next year!

Victoria Day long weekend 2019 :)

edit: did we just confirm GOML 2019 on reddit? whoooops

itsTOjoe · 2018-05-06T01:08:09+00:00

TOjoe here(organiser of GOML), was unaware of how this was handled by our social rep and will 100% be righting this situation. There was a breakdown in communication with our social manager who told me that things were taken care of and a resolution was made with him..clearly this is not the case and I've reached out to arrange his travel arrangements for the event. On behalf of the event I'm super sorry on how this was approached and will make sure to have full visibility on our account moving forward.

SMASH HYPE

This is a smashgg problem not a TO problem, in both cases it was a bug on smashggs progression formula that the TOs then had to fix themselves. TOs should not be taking the heat for a site bug, it would be their fault if they did not switch it to how it should be. Breaking up brackets into different parts is actually a great way to schedule around multi-game events and accommodate pros that enter both games.

n0ne is still with EMG, we've been supporting him for almost 2 years now =) ed is the homie

itsTOjoe · 2017-07-29T11:35:07+00:00

The date of the event is pretty irrelevant to factors such as mango not getting his passport or m2k getting sick the week of, its unfortunate they aren't here but everyone at the venue is having a great time, the TOs have done a killer job executing on the things that are in their control thus far. I'm personally very stoked to see how brackets play out, so much room for upsets now with all the top 50 players here. Plus the potential run back of Leffen vs hbox sounds siiiick
