Hello AllisBrawl, Ori_bro here to bring what is going to be Michigan’s biggest Brawl tournament and probably the most hyped Midwest regional/event of the summer.

Technical_Chase and his trusted staff members are back in action to present the 4th installment of Michigan’s must-attend tournament series: The Phoenix Saga. This installment of the Phoenix Saga is ready to provide more hype, better matches, and a tremendous tournament experience for all of those in attendance and viewing on our stream than the previous ones combined. The magic is going to be present in Ann Arbor on June 16th!

Phoenix Saga 4 is going to be the most stacked tournament Michigan and possibly the Midwest has ever seen. Confirmed players for this event are Ally, Zinoto, Sparta Kick, Shugo, MeekSpeedy, Toronto Joe, MJG, Kain, DeLux, Seagull Joe, Keitaro, Arty and DLA. If things work out for them, both Vinnie and Mr. R will be in attendance as well. Besides these big names, multiple carpools from Indiana and Ohio will be making appearances as well. Michigan plans on rolling deep with our 40-45 local players. With all these people, the estimated attendance count is around 80 players!

We have two HUGE reasons for why Phoenix Saga is truly going to be the greatest Midwest regional and tournament. This Phoenix Saga event is officially part of the ROAD TO APEX 2013 as well as a qualifier for the Canadian national, IMPULSE. In regards to the APEX 2013, those who place 13th and higher at Phoenix Saga 4 receive seeding points for APEX 2013. For IMPULSE, two people from the Midwest region that place the highest in singles at Phoenix Saga will be awarded venue fee, singles, and doubles to help them show up to IMPULSE.

Like past Phoenix Saga tournaments, we will be having a livestream with commentary. You can follow all the action at twitch.tv/xatic. Technical_Chase has hand selected the commentators to ensure quality in game knowledge and good entertainment for those viewing at home. A few of the select commentators include Keitaro, Toronto Joe, Clowsui, and MJG. Along with the quality commentary, The Phoenix Saga stream team will be doing something very special for those who are watching the at home. When the singles bracket begins, we will be doing a LIVE bracket on Challonge.com. This is going to be a great way for those at home to keep up to date on what is happening outside of the stream. The link for bracket will be found in the blog I will make the morning of the tournament so make sure you keep up with my blogs.

Phoenix Saga 4 is the tournament to be at this summer if you are a Midwest player. Remember, it’s not everyday a super-regional is in your own backyard, so i hope to see you in Ann Arbor on June 16th! Till next time, guys!

Hello AllisBrawl, FF Ori_bro here to bring you the latest and greatest for anything tournament related here in Michigan. Like Zano, I will be making a Seasonal article that will talk about big events happening here in Michigan during that Ranking Season. Ever since APEX 2012, Michigan has been pulling some amazing events when comparing to tournaments we held over a year ago. Our locals were in the teens to low twenties, but now we are seeing 30 to 40 man locals. I want to give this flourishing state the spot light it needs. Since Michigan’s Winter Smash Season has officially ended with the most recent Power Rankings being released, our Summer Smash Season will be kick off in May. I will be updating this when more events get announced so keep checking back! This summer entails a lot for the state and we want you there!

May 26th: B.A.M.F Remix #1

Michigan’s successful summer series from last year makes its return for summer 2012. This series is hosted by Ori_bro and is located in Sylvan Lake. Last summer, Ori brought Michigan’s Marvel and Smash community together and host 4 successful events. He wants to keep this streak going all summer long. Like last summer, he will be featuring Brawl (1v1/2v2), Melee (1v1/2v2), and UMvC3. To make this year different he will be throwing in everyone’s favorite Smash 64, and as a side event for the FGC guys I will be having the new fighter that is getting extremely popular, Skullgirls, there as well. All of Michigan’s favorite players will be in attendance so be sure to come on out! 
- This series will run all summer long. When more dates are announced they will be added.
