Texas Brawl Hype! (April Edition)
Zano
here, bringing you the latest news in all things brawl across Texas!
I'm going to be doing a monthly article to inform everyone of all the
tourneys being hosted around Texas for your convenience. It seems we
never get any advertising around here for such events, so I'm here to
change all that! From now on, you'll be in the know about all the
tournaments we have to offer across the state, and I'll even inform you
of everything I know about them so you know what you're getting into.
Keep in mind that some tournaments may not be announced yet, in which
case, I will update this article to include them, so make sure to check
this more than once. Alright, so we got a tournament coming up every
week for the rest of the month, so let's get to it and see which ones
are closest for you to attend.

April 14th:
Hobo 37
- Everyone knows Hobo, it's well know as one of the best series in
Texas with the highest level of competition in Texas available each
time, due to most of our best players living in Houston, and being close
enough to travel to by some of our other top cities. Usually run by
Xyro, Sync is now in charge of running this series and will be providing
the same excellence you'd expect from a hobo, not to mention a really
nice venue at Game Over Video Games. It's also important to note that
this is not only a part of project WHOBO 4, but is also a part of the
Impulse Circuit. For more info on those, check out the tournament page
I've provided. Expect this to be the biggest tournament of the month
with so much at stake.
DMT #16 Smash at TTU
- Dakpo's Monthly Tournament series, and probably the only tournament
series you'll find in North Texas. If you live in the area and you've
been trying to find a scene, this is your chance to find some brawl
action and meet some great players. Dakpo is known for being a top 5
ZSS, so a chance to play him is well worth the visit if you can find
yourself in the area. The best part of this series is that it's FREE to
enter, and has CASH prizes, how amazing! It may not give much incentive
for out of city players to attend due to the low payouts, but anyone
who lives in lubbock/amarillo should definitely check it out.
The Arena: South Texas Gaming League #9
- Can't say I know much about this series, but I'll provide you with
what I do know. As far as I know, this is primarily a melee series, but
this time they are holding brawl as well. The host is Skeith, and he's
a pretty good TO down in south texas, so his tournament should be run
quite nicely. It's in McAllen, so it's not too close to any of the
major brawl cities in the state, but it shouldn't be lacking in players
at all, and seems like a fun time, especially for anyone who is
interested in both games!
April 21st:
Revolution 11
- Denti's monthly tournament series in Dallas, and is rapidly growing
as one of the bigger tournaments our state has to offer. Denti is a top
5 Olimar and one of the best players in Texas, and the rest of DFW is
filled with some of our highest ranked players, so competition will be
anything but easy here. Recently, Infern and Y.b.M have moved to the
area, so you can expect them to show up as well, adding to an already
stacked tournament as it is. It's a great series worth checking out if
you live in the area, $10 entry fee is also god incentive for OoC
players to travel. Melee will also be hosted at this event for those
interested. Oh, and one more interesting note, this tournament will be
MK legal, so we'll see how things go with that.
April 28th:
Batou's Monthly 8
- Another great series in the DFW area. Batou has seen great success
with his series in Fort Worth, bringing in notable names from all over
Texas, and even at one point, Vinnie made an appearance while he was in
Texas! This tournament will be held at Evolution Games, which is a great
venue if you've never seen it before. Expect lots of hype and a great
time if you show up. Not sure who all besides DFW will be in
attendance, but you'll see pretty much everyone you see from Revolution
attending, since it's in the same area pretty much.

Remember
if you want to have your tourney listed, to put it in the southwest
console tournament listing section of smashboards so I can include it.
If you have a tourney you'd like to be added to this list, please
message me so I can add it! So there you have it, all the tournaments
available to you over the course of the month in Texas, all of them sure
to be a blast, no matter which one you pick! I hope that this series
will help you all to be in the know about every tournament this
wonderful state has to offer. I know of quite a few Texas players that I
see on ladder/free play quite often, and you all live well within the
areas of these tournaments, so I encourage you to give them a try and
prove yourself in the best way you can. Regardless of how you do,
expect to have a good time and meet some friendlies people, you can even
make quite a few friends, I'm sure of it. Until next time AiB, I plan
on giving all of you plenty of articles worth reading from here on out!
