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!
