ESL giving Smash Bros. Wii U a shot with first online tournaments in Europe
Electronic Sports League, known for its huge eSports presence, is setting up two online Community Tournaments for Smash Bros. Wii U in Europe. The top four from each one will participate in a final that will be held in late August.
Here’s the complete schedule:
Super Smash Bros. Community Cup #1 Europe – 26th July 15:00 CEST
Super Smash Bros. Community Cup #2 Europe – 16th August 15:00 CEST
Super Smash Bros. Community Cup Final Europe – 22th August 15:00 CEST
And below are the official rules:
- Single Elimination
- Set length: Best of 3 / Finals: Best of 5
- Game length: 2 Stocks 6 Minutes (Timeout = the player with most Stock and Least % wins)
- Handicap, Damage Ratio and Damage Display remain the same!
- Items: off
- Equipment: off
- Custom Moves: off
- Amiibos: Illegal
- DLC Chars: Legal
- Mii Chars: Banned
- Suicide Clause: Bowser-Suicide counts as lose.
- Pause/Homebutton clause: player who uses one of those buttons without mutual agreement will lose 1 Stock
This is more of a trial run, so it makes sense that the prizes are a bit on the light side. The top three participants in the final will receive eShop funds of €50, €25 and €15 respectively. They’ll also be given a choice of Splatoon, Yoshi’s Woolly World or Super Mario Maker.
