Shine was a national tournament series featuring Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate held in Boston, Massachusetts from 2016 to 2018 and Worcester, Massachusetts from 2019 to 2023. The series used a standard double elimination format for all four of its featured games.
Shine was New England's premier tournament series and its largest tournament series from 2016 to 2023, with total entrants count frequently surpassing 1,000 entrants. The series hosted major-level events for all its Smash events, with several of each game's best players always in attendance; as such, it was often considered the final major Smash event of the summer, as it takes place at the end of August, although later iterations were smaller for Smash 64 and Ultimate.
Despite its success, the Shine tournaments were often run on a deficit. This, alongside the poor esports environment of the post-pandemic competitive scene, led to the decision to end the series after Shine 2023.[1]
