Plan to stop by and hang out with us next week.
We will have tons of folks hanging out playing games and you can donate to tornado relief and find places where you can help.
Wanted to be positive.
I brought my wife and kids down and made a vacation out of CEO and they say they want to come back every year. Not a bad experience at any point.
@Jebailey
and the
@CEOGaming
crew put on a hell of an event.
(Vendors also love to give kids free stuff lol)
The world's best Bowser is headed to.......
Hazard. Freaking. Kentucky.
You know the drill.
Go to so you can be at the biggest event in EKY history like
@DLeon420
EKY needs your help, guys.
This video shows how serious the situation is in EKY right now.
Please watch and think about donating during One Night Stand. Some members of the Smash community have lost a lot.
My stream,
@TeamChargeShot
&
@Cavalry_KY
will all take donations for EKY.
Talk is cheap, so
@ApolloKage
has put his name on the dotted line to head down to hostile territory and mix it up with the best in the world.
SIgn up now at before venue fees go up NEXT WEEK!
There’s no way I can respond to all the messages and tags, just know I’m proud of what we did this weekend and happy I got to meet so many awesome people.
We’re headed to vacation where I will get some much needed relaxation, but my heart is full.
Love you guys.

Let's-a-go!
@Elegant_Matt
will be in town for One Night Stand this summer.
The announcement comes just before our venue fee doubles. Head over to and lock in your spot now!
QCS is licensed by Nintendo for 6 QCS events in 2024.
I requested exceptions beyond the scope of the initial license and was approved within three hours.
Quick and painless.

Been working on building a couple of YouTube channels but I just want to feed this content into the wild for anyone looking for a road warrior of an FGC/Smash/Esports commentator with a southern drawl. Tag your TOs.
Here's the schedule for tomorrow.
Finn and I will be hosting this shindig from my studio, and we have a ton of other folks not on the schedule but on tap to hang out (

I don’t think anyone should blame an organizer for taking an accusation seriously.
But if you had bad info you should go back to whatever parties you gave that info to and make sure it’s corrected.
Don’t know if that’s happened or not, but that’s a pretty reasonable expectation.
Long post incoming…
Tiff and I took some time off work and went to the Bahamas.
We’ve been married 14 years and it was our first trip gone from the kids for more than a day or two.

Thanks, everyone.
My time promoting Smash events has been wild and today started with everything going wrong (as usual).
But everyone stepped up and we did what we always do in EKY.
Most TOs will tell you that they rarely feel appreciated, but my cup runs over with gratitude. 1/2
Dear friends:
For Christmas this year, all I want is for you to buy this Super Edition of
@Battle4TheGrid
and play with me.
$25 for the game and a ton of DLC and costumes
I announced it on HeyBuddy’s stream last night, but Summer Smash on July 31 is my last tournament as a TO/promoter. Not gonna drone on or Twitlonger about it. Just ready to go back to being a boring 30-something dad. I hope all my friends can come out to something this summer.
Come get it!
@GoblinFL
is headed to Hazard for Summer Smash on July 31st.
Goblin is looking for a piece of this four-figure prize pot and the QCS Championship Belt!

Don’t have the mental stamina for a post-tourney thread, but just want everyone to know that I’m thankful to those who chose to spend their time with us Saturday.
Thankful for the few opportunities to stop and talk with people.
Going to take a nice long break.
Stream was almost 14 hours.
$1200+ raised for charity.
I’m happy to have played a role in this, but more than that, I’m appreciative of all the people that supported this.
The vision was there and we all made it happen.
Proud of my friends and community.
Goodnight everyone!
I’m cleaning up, and probably will be for some time. I’ll reflect a little bit tomorrow.
Probably another damn Raiser Twitlonger and this one may as well be a book, but just know I’m proud of everyone who was on the team today, anyone who stepped in and anyone involved.
We got

Five states PR represented and one PGRU player as of now. Plus, an anticipated prize pool of more than $1500 👀
19 current or former Kentucky PR players are signed up to represent the state at One Night Stand this weekend.
Smashers still have until Wednesday to sign up at
Shout out to the
@ChillOutUKY
crew today. Always a good time in Lex.
First dude I 2-0d evidently told a couple homies after our set that I was the worst Samus he’s ever played and I should have sex sometime.
I still got it, folks. Losses to

It's a series of four online Melee tournaments, with the top four from each event moving on to an invitational with a $1000 prize pool.
Register now for the first event on September 18 at
RETWEET PLEASE.
TL;DR from the Summer Smash stream
- Venue will change. Deciding between two places tomorrow AM. Last venue had other stuff going on at same time and would be irresponsible.
- Please wear masks
- We will do 4 waves instead of 2 (reflected on smashgg)
- Luv u
Next week, we're being invaded by some of the best players in the world.
Will you take a stand and defend the turf?

Everyone was encouraging and made me want to say screw it and keep going, but my heart isn’t in it right now. Loved having my family with me and I’m going home to them now.
I’ll be working with BSG moving forward.
I’ll be back in some capacity, in Hazard, but not for a long time.
Y’all send me your good vibes and prayers.
Today is a big day. I’m pitching QCS in a small business competition for $15k.
I’ve got strep throat and sound awful.
I need your strength!
The Ohio players have been the real road warriors since things opened back up!

Kentucky's uncontested
#1
@JinTorna
is coming down this summer to raise some hell at One Night Stand.
Venue is just at $5 right now but will go up next week.
Lock in that price right now by hitting "pay at venue."
Jan 1 starts the inaugural PR season for the Kentucky Smash Ultimate Senior League.
Bar tourneys, EKY and majors only.
Sets against minors or Steve mains do not count.
Wins against players 18-20 with proof of full-time employment are valid. 21+ all counts.
Good luck, everyone!
Feels weird to say this, but One Night Stand is this week. Would love to see us make the push to 200 people, but I'm not getting caught too invested in the numbers game.
Biggest event ever for this area and everything from this point is about turning it into a party.
Congrats to all the people who made my KY PR.
I'm locked down as the entire family has COVID so I have nothing better to do.
30 minutes of research.
60 minutes of photoshop.
Completely unofficial in every way.
Please complain in the comments.
"Damn, he's good."
@BigCreamin
out here playing ALL the games.
Two more days until your venue fee goes up and we have 70+ entrants.
Let's get to 100 by Friday!

Needed some encouragement after the Smash debacle.
Although I concede I should work on some pronunciations where my accent can take over a bit. We get better and move forward.
I could try to go non-regional with my broadcast voice but it just wouldn’t be me.
I was anxious about commentating big events because of my southern accent.
Twitch chat for FGC events has been nothing but awesome. I've been from Connecticut, to Chicago, to Texas, to Vegas in the past year.
I do ONE Smash event and I get critics in the chat smh
@Phenditi_
My biggest regret in all of this is that
@SmashTrophy
and
@Vulturret
could suffer.
But maybe the fact they have done so well after picking Steve up is evidence for the ban. We will see.
We crowned our first ever Appalachian Fighting Game Champion at QCS today.

finished 1st in KoF, 2nd in the Mystery Game (DBFZ), 3rd in Marvel 3 and had a good run in Strive too.
