Are you ready for an action packed summer of Brawl? The action kicks off with CLASH of the Titans 6 in June! This
summer is arguably going to be one of the best we have ever had for
Brawl. These three months will be packed full with quality events from a
wide assortment of top tournament organizers. The events are a must for
every competitive Smasher! Some of the key events this summer include
IMPULSE,
SKTAR,
Dissention,
SRT,
WHOBO 4, and the event to kick off the summer -
CLASH of the Titans 6!
CoT6
is the next entry to the series that brought you the very first Brawl
national, and CoT6 aims to provide the same quality experience you all
expect. On
the first weekend of June you will get to experience a
2 day Brawl only event,
right in the center of the Atlantic North region in New Jersey. Start
to make your travel arrangements, as the tournament is coming up in less
than two months!
Attendees CoT4
marked the first time many regions met under the same roof - Atl North,
Atl South, Midwest, Southwest, Canada, and more. CoT5 featured some of
the strongest Canada support outside of Apex 2012. CoT6 aims to match
this, and go even further! Among our attendees will be all the heavy
hitters from the Atl North region you've grown to love, along with a
great assortment of other players. Notably absent from the last two
events was any solid attendance from the West Coast, and I'm proud to
say that
Mike Haze and Tyrant should both be attending this event!
Canada also appears to be jumping on the bandwagon as well following
their support of CoT5 and coming out once again! I am currently in the
works of reaching out to more areas as well.
Setups One
thing I've never enjoyed about hosting tournaments is relying on
attendees to provide equipment for the tournament. It's great that we
have a community so willing to help out and it cuts down on equipment
costs, though I believe it's a great step forward that for CoT6 we will
not require any attendees to bring any TVs.
The staff of CoT6 and Apex will be providing 32 TVs ready for tournament at the event,
so attendees don't need to worry about lifting heavy equipment and can
use that extra car space to travel with more friends. We will still have
incentives for people who bring Wiis and a copy of the game, which we
will be announcing in the near future.
Events and Ruleset CoT6
will feature your standard Singles and Doubles events like most events,
and will also feature two more. All Brawl will be a side event, though
the rules won't be the same you're used to at events like KTAR and Apex.
The ruleset was originally thought up by players of the UFB crew and
has been played throughout Philadelphia for years. It features more
frequent items, stage counterpicking, and more! You can find the rules
for that on the tournament thread. The fourth side event will be crews.
This will be a crew tournament more similarly based off of similar
tournaments ran at older Melee events. Crews may contain 4 or 5 players,
and players must choose their roster of characters prior to each match.
The ruleset for Singles and Doubles has been under a lot
of discussion, and I have made sure to talk to the community and do what
I believe is best for everyone. If you have been following my recent
blogs, you'll know that a decision has been reached. Unlike when it was
first announced,
Meta Knight will be legal at CoT6, and we will be using the
Apex stagelist. On the contrary to Meta Knight being legal,
double MK will be banned in teams.
Enhancements Over CoT5 CoT5
didn't go over as well as hoped, but still showed to be a solid
tournament. The unfortunate change in venue at the last moment hurt the
event, though I was sure to fix that for this event. The venue for CoT6
is larger than the 5th one, and is already 100% confirmed and set in
stone. The venue will not change, and it is in a better location for
players. If you are familiar with traveling to Apex, you'll have no
problem getting here as it is just a shot drive away. CoT6 aims to run
faster than CoT5, use a more organized layout, and feature more events.
Livestream and Media You
can certainly expect CoT6 to feature a top notch livestream, hosted by
yours truly of CLASH Tournaments. I will be working for weeks on
pristine production quality leading up to the event, and testing the
stream both on my own and at the venue itself. All of this guarantees
that the livestream experience will be great, and
all tournament videos will be uploaded quickly after the tournament in HD quality.
Registration Working with a 2 day event for one game gives us a lot more time to do certain things we want, and one of those things is that
registration will ONLY be in done in-person.
Don't know if you're coming to the event until the night before? No
problem there, and you'll be paying the same price as everyone else
without a price increase.
More Announcements? In
these final two months leading up to the event, you can definitely
expect more announcements to come. The staff for the event are working
on some great promotions and bonuses for the players that haven't been
done at any event before! Be sure to keep a close eye on the tournament
pages, and the CLASH Tournaments website and Twitter.

sure to click that you are attending on All is Brawl. Links to the

and I hope to see you there on June 2nd!
