'''The Box''' is an online tournament series held by {{Team|Team Liquid}} on {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s [[Twitch]] channel. The series originally started with {{Trn|The Box}} and consisted of a weekly (Juice Box) and a monthly at the end of each month (Lunch Box), held on Wednesdays, as well as a few special tournaments. In February 2022, the series was sponsored by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinbase ''Coinbase''], renaming the weekly tournaments to The Coinbox and ceasing the monthlys. Most tournaments in the series are region-locked to North American countries. Juice Box/Coinbox events are open to any competitor within the region-lock, while Lunch Box tournaments, aside from a few special iterations, were limited to [[Hungrybox]]'s Twitch subscribers.  
'''The Box''' is an online tournament series held by {{Team|Team Liquid}} on {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s [[Twitch]] channel, mostly region-locked to North American countries. The series originally started with {{Trn|The Box}} and consisted of a weekly (Juice Box) held on Wednesdays as well as a monthly at the end of each month (Lunch Box) limited to [[Hungrybox]]'s Twitch subscribers. The series was eventually sponsored by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinbase ''Coinbase''] in February 2022, which shifted focus to the weeklies, now renamed to '''The Coinbox''', with $2,000–$3,000 prize pools. Future events eventually hosted other games instead of ''Ultimate'', including ''[[Melee]]'' in 2023, although ''Ultimate'' remained the primary focus and still had two Coinboxes every month. Following updates to the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]], which added restrictions to cryptocurrency company sponsorships for large-scale events, Coinbase and The Box series will part ways after {{Trn|Coinbox IRL 2}}, with The Box switching to a different sponsor.


While The Box started as an ''Ultimate'' series, ''Melee'' began being run in February 2023, switching games every week, with ''Ultimate'' on Wednesdays and ''Melee'' on Tuesdays. However, on November 8th, 2023, following the announcement of the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]], Hungrybox announced that Team Liquid would not be seeking a license for ''Melee'' Coinboxes due to the usage of [[Slippi]], and that the final ''Melee'' Coinbox would be [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-final-melee-coinbox-full-bo5-6-000-prize-pool/details Coinbox #84].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAmidph6QU4|title=The Future of Coinbox (My Smash Tournament Series)}}</ref>
Unaffiliated with Team Liquid or Coinbase, Hungrybox began running smaller, single-elimination events branded as "The To-Go Box" in late May 2024, with the first event being for ''Melee''. These tournaments are intended to be used for more frequent practice and have more experimental rulesets than the Coinbox series.


Following [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-coinbox-51-ultimate/details Coinbox #51], {{SSBU|Steve}} was indefinitely banned from ''Ultimate'' Coinboxes on March 2nd, 2023, with Hungrybox stating that the discovery of the [[Phantom MLG]] tech and the difficulties of banning it on its own, especially online, was the "straw that broke the camel's back."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-EvpwYjAOA&t=779s|title=Steve Ban}}</ref> In January 2024, Hungrybox announced that Steve would be unbanned on the first Coinbox of each month of 2024, beginning with [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-coinbox-87/details Coinbox #87], stating that he didn't want to have a complete ban on a character which is legal in the majority of regions around the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1744851082063319130|title=2024 Steve Unban}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1744851084495958079|title=2024 Steve Unban Reasoning}}</ref>
The Box is often regarded as the premier online ''Ultimate'' tournament series and has been compared to Japan's [[Smashmate]] as a similar training ground for top players. Many players who frequently compets in The Box events, especially during its Coinbox phase, have since established themselves as strong players online, including {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|Sonix}}, and {{Sm|ShinyMark}}.
 
==Notable Events==
===''Melee'' Coinbox===
While The Coinbox started as an ''Ultimate'' series, ''Melee'' began being run in February 2023, switching games every week, with ''Ultimate'' on Wednesdays and ''Melee'' on Tuesdays. However, on November 8th, 2023, following the announcement of the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]], Hungrybox announced that Team Liquid would not be seeking a license for ''Melee'' Coinboxes due to the usage of [[Slippi]], and that the final ''Melee'' Coinbox would be [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-final-melee-coinbox-full-bo5-6-000-prize-pool/details Coinbox #84].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAmidph6QU4|title=The Future of Coinbox (My Smash Tournament Series)}}</ref> There were ultimately 18 ''Melee'' Coinboxes held throughout 2023, of which {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} won an impressive 11 of the 14 that he entered. At times, there were bounties put on Cody Schwab for anyone to claim if they could take a set off him in bracket.
===Character Bans===
{{SSBU|Steve}} has had mixed legality throughout the history of The Coinbox series. Following [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-coinbox-51-ultimate/details Coinbox #51], Steve was indefinitely banned from The Coinbox on March 2nd, 2023, with Hungrybox stating that the discovery of the [[Phantom MLG]] tech and the difficulties of banning it on its own, especially online, was the "straw that broke the camel's back."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-EvpwYjAOA&t=779s|title=Steve Ban}}</ref> This lasted until January 2024, when Hungrybox announced that Steve would be unbanned on the first Coinbox of each month of 2024, beginning with [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-coinbox-87/details Coinbox #87], stating that he didn't want to have a complete ban on a character which is legal in the majority of regions around the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1744851082063319130|title=Steve partial unban}}</ref> Steve was later fully unbanned on April 1st, 2024, when the series shifted from weekly to biweekly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1774968179111989383|title=Steve unban}}</ref> Steve has ultimately been banned from a total of 24 Coinboxes, those being #53-86, #88, #89, #93, #95, #96, and #97.
 
Hungrybox has also floated the idea of banning {{SSBU|Sonic}} from The Coinbox, citing the effect that the character has on stream viewership.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/liquidhbox/status/1755650610903318736|title=Sonic ban discussion}}</ref>
 
After the results of a [[Twitter]] poll, {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} was banned from {{Trn|The Coinbox 98 - SM4SH SENDOFF}} held just days before the [[Wii U]] online servers shut down on April 8th.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1773209837922385997|title=Bayonetta ban vote}}</ref> Additionally, custom sizes for the {{SSB4|Mii Fighters}} were banned for the tournament, though default-sized Miis were legal with any custom [[special moves]].
