Super Smash Brothers Melee

EVO 2017 has now slowly shifted to a halt, and the winners for both Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Bros. Melee have now been revealed.

If you don't want spoilers, you can check out recaps on the EVO 2017 Twitch channel before reading our EVO 2017 finals overview below.

We'll first start with the least surprising turnout of the event. In the Super Bros. Melee tournament at EVO 2017, Armada and Mang0 ended up facing up against each other in the grand finale.

Armada managed to pull out an almost clean 3-1 victory over Mang0 to take the grand final win after coming from the winner's bracket. This is now the third year in a row that Armada has made it to the EVO 2017 grand finals.

In 2016, Armada came second after losing in the grand finals. Armada also took the 2015 EVO Smash Bros. Melee win.

The results for the EVO 2017 Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament were a little more interesting.

As expected, ZeRo made his way to the grand finals after staying

It's going to be a big year for the Super Smash Bros. competitive community. Dreamhack has 6 events planned for this year alone.

If you're a viewer or player of any of the Super Smash Bros. games then you've got a lot to be excited about this year. Dreamhack has just confirmed that a total of 6 events will feature Super Smash Bros. tournaments this year. 4 of these events will be in North America and the other 2 will be on an international level.

The first Dreamhack event will be Dreamhack Austin. It will take place from April 28 to April 30 and will feature both Melee and Smash 4. The prize pool will be $10,000 for each game.

The next event will be Dreamhack Summer, featuring just Smash Bros Melee and will take place from June 17 to June 19.

Following this will be Dreamhack Atlanta from July 21 to July 23, Dreamhack Montreal on September 8 to September 10, and Dreamhack Denver from October 20 to October 22. All three of these events will feature both Melee and

The game lineup for the next major fighting game event has been revealed.

CEO 2017 has now published information about what games they will be hosting tournaments for, along with other important details on event dates and attendance.

There's no doubt that CEO is one of the tournaments the fighting game community loves the most, so if you're interested in some epic matches to tune into, or are interested in attending the event yourself, pay close attention to the information provided below.

It's now been confirmed that CEO 2017 will have a total of 11 different fighting games. First things first, both Smash Bros Melee and Smash Bros Wii U will be making an appearance. Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 will of course be making a show. Unfortunately Mortal Kombat XL will not be on the agenda for CEO 2017, but there are a number of other games that will take it's place.

This includes both Injustice 2 and Killer Instinct as well as the following: The King of Fighters

BeyondTheSummit has released the key dates and details for the upcoming Smash Summit 4.

It has now been confirmed that the event will take place from March 2 and will end on March 5. To begin with, the prize pool is sitting at $15,000, but it will grow depending on how many fans attend the events.

Even with a $15,000 base prize pool, this will be an important event to take the win, and it could perhaps be the event that could be open to absolutely anybody.

Whilst both Hungrybox and Armada are still performing incredibly, Hungrybox's recent broken finger has put some doubt on his upcoming performance. Armada is still looking like a strong contender, but his most recent Smash Summit win was at Smash Summit 3 doubles, at which point he had help from the formidable Mew2King. Mang0 has also been in great form this year, even if he hasn't managed to hit as many first place wins as Hungrybox and Armada.

In total, there will be sixteen players to attend the Smash Summit

UGC Smash Open has now ended and after an unsurprising win from ZeRo in the Smash 4 camp, Armada has now taken another victory in Smash Melee.

The event took place during the start of the month and while there were a few exciting matchups in the tournament, nobody was surprised to see Armada take the win.

However, something that was surprising was the incredible performance by Mew2King which saw him hastily make his way to the grand finals only after losing a single match earlier against n0ne. After his first defeat, Mew2king ripped through Duck, Ice, SFAT, Leffen and even favorites to place in the grand finals; Mang0 and Hungrybox.

In the grand finals, Mew2King even managed to defeat Armada with an impressive 3-1 scoreline. However, because Mew2King dropped to the loser's bracket, he still had another 3 wins needed to take the grand final. This then saw Armada turn the tables completely and beat Mew2King in true comeback fashion with a 3-1 score for himself.

Unsurprisingly, Armada and Hungrybox ended up finding themselves in a match up for the grand finale of Smash Melee Dreamhack Winter.

However, only one player could come out on top. Both Hungrybox and Armada were projected to do well in the event, but nobody expected Armada to be on such a hot streak. Earlier on in the tournament, Armada ripped through Leffen and Trifasia with quick 3-0 victories.

Hungrybox, on the other hand, managed to fight his way through Professor Pro and Mang0 in his first two matches. He did well, but he wasn't quite as much of a convincing winner as Armada was at this point.

After two straight wins, both Hungrybox and Armada found themselves in the winner's final. In this event, Armada's 3-0 victory streak was brought to an end by Hungrybox, but only just. Armada still managed to take a 3-1 victory in the winner's final, bringing him to the grand final with just a scratch.

Hungrybox took a pretty heavy knock to his confidence after his

A new gaming event set for April 2017 has been announced by CEO.

The event has been named CEO Dreamland and it will have a focus on Smash tournaments, but there will be other events taking place as well.

A statement on the CEO Dreamland website read, "We would like to show the love back and host an event dedicated to all things Super Smash Bros and more for the Florida Community and beyond. This will be an event bringing together the smash communities and giving them the opportunity to level up before the busy summer season of big tournaments."

The event will include Super Smash Wii U, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros 64, Brawhlhalla and Rivals of Aether as the five games for the five main tournaments. Registration will open up in December, and players will need to sign up via Smash.gg and take part in the qualifiers to be in with a chance of attending the CEO Dreamland event.

The dates have been locked in for April 14 to April 16, making it a three-day

EVO is making an exciting return in 2017, and we've now received details about when and where the event will take place.

EVO is one of the biggest fighting game tournaments in the world. It supports events for some of the most popular current fighting games, as well as some older titles. While the full game lineup is yet to be announced, the trailer has shown footage for Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator, Street Fighter V, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Tekken 7 and Mortal Kombat X.

We wouldn't be surprised if other titles make their way to EVO 2017, including Smash Bros Wii U.

In 2016, EVO took place in Las Vegas for the first two days, whilst the final day of the event took place in Mandalay Bay's arena. It was a bit difficult for all fans to attend the entire EVO event, so this year the organizers have put the effort in to accommodate everybody for the 2017 event.

In 2017, the EVO event will take place on July 14 and will end with the final matches happening on July 16.

The Big House 6 has recently confirmed that they will be running Japanese qualifier events for Super Smash Bros. Wii U. After the qualifier events for Smash Wii U, another event, the Master Hand qualifier, will follow for Melee on August 28.

Whilst the qualifier events aren't the biggest news to hit the Smash scene, it is important to know that these qualifiers will help players make their way into the main event for The Big House 6 which will be happening in Dearborn, Michigan.

This event will be happening from October 7 to October 9 and it will hopefully include around 500-1,000 entrants. If you're interested in the tournament you can register at umsmash.com. Last year the event saw over 500 entrants battle their way out. Expectedly a number of familiar faces made their way to the finals. Last year we saw ZeRo take the crown.

The payout will depend entirely on how many entrants make their way to Big House 6 but in most cases 40% of the payout will be paid to the first

If you're a fan of the Super Smash Melee Bros scene then you'll be interested to hear that Joey "Lucky" Aldama has been picked up by the growing North American organization Selfless.

Selfless has only been around since February 2016 and it started with a group of ex-Enemy players that sought to create their own org. The Selfless org has since signed a competitive Counter Strike: Global Offensive team that has been making great strides in the scene.

Lucky may be best known as Cloud 9 Mango's double partner back in '07. However, Lucky has been playing Smash Bros ever since and he's been making a bit of a name for himself as a solo player too. Lucky's most recent good performance was his fifth place spot at Dreamhack Austin.

Despite Mango's signing with Cloud 9 in 2014, Lucky has been without an organization ever since. Lucky certainly seems quite happy to see his new partnership with Selfless flourish and he'll now be wearing their logo at any Smash events.
