The internet at the venue can MORE than handle it. It could probably support up to 10 streams lol. We also have a clean schedule that works nicely with all three streams. I hope we can announce it soonish, just have to nail out the final kinks in it.

Yea most universities have amazing internet. I used to work at Drexel's IT department and I could connect directly via cable into our servers located in the building I worked in. I've never experienced faster internet in my life lol.

Im really glad this is happening again, I was a little upset after Alex said he was done with Apex and all that jazz. That was the greatest tournament I've ever attended!

I'll just say this about the 3 streams. It is so that we can push more matches on all ends. The people will be making sure everyone gets what they want...FGC/Smash/Pokemon...everything will be streamed one way or another. It will be an event like no other.


I know you guys think FGC is bad at times but it does something great for us overall...Press...the more press Apex has = more exposure for Smash. We will be covered by new/gaming sites from all over the world and that is what Apex is...its an event where ONLY the world's best can do well. Also, TBH, some of them actually enjoyed it...

Trust me I would not have brought it back if I did not think I can make it work...plus with the new stuff we are doing it will be perfect...especially who we are working with.

Apex will always be THE smash tournament but now it is going to be THE tournament for everyone. So regardless of what you play you will be treated with the same respect as everyone else. We have Chibo to stream just so Smash gets even MORE matches so do not think we are disregarding everyone. This is a natural progression to creating a bigger and more publicized event.

1 Melee Stream
1 Brawl Stream
1-X FGC Stream(s)

Problem solved... can or will you do that?
1 Smash Stream is fine too, but pls dont cross FGC/Smash again, that **** was HORRIBLE from a spectators point of view :(
It took almost ALL the hype from the people watching @ home, srsly.

Oh and doing nearly DOUBLES ONLY on Friday (Or was it saturday? I dont remember) also wasnt a good idea either, you shouldve showed more of the "Interesting MMs / Match-Ups you never saw" stuff, no one cares for Doubles (Except maybe the WF, LF and GF(s), you can believe me on this Alex, but I think you probably already know that by yourself :3)

We haven't revealed the stream schedule yet, but I'm sure you will all like it. We know the problems from last year and are aiming to fix it.

Also last year wasn't Doubles only on Friday, it was All Melee one day, All Brawl the other.

Last year was definitely not a fgc first tourney . But you wouldn't know that cause you're speaking out of your *** and you don't know the conditions of the fgc side of things

This includes a better layout that will incorporate more room for Smash setups and players (including friendly setups), a better schedule to get events done quicker, and a much better stream setup so there is always Smash and FGC to be watched concurrently.
But seriously, the most important things to us less important people are:
1. Friendlies
2. Hype
