Brawl]]'' national tournament directed by {{Sm|Keitaro}} on August 3rd-4th, 2013. The tournament was an [[Apex 2014]] qualifier. Like the previous {{b|SKTAR|tournament}}, it featured international competition, with players such as {{Sm|Mr. R}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} attending. | ||
The tournament has become known for its upsets; heavily-favored players to win the tournament such as {{Sm|Salem}}, Mr. R, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, and ZeRo were knocked into Losers' bracket earlier than expected by supposedly lower-level players. Among the most notable placings included {{Sm|MVD}} placing 2nd, defeating Vinnie and Ally, {{Sm|Denti}} placing 3rd, taking a set off of Nairo, {{Sm|Nakat}} placing 4th, beating {{Sm|Tyrant}} and ZeRo, {{Sm|Zinoto}} placing 5th, defeating Tyrant, {{Sm|Nick Riddle}}, and {{Sm|Atomsk}}, and {{Sm|Will}} placing 9th, taking sets off of Salem and Mr. R. ZeRo, the most heavily-favored player to win the tournament, placed only 5th, and there were no Meta Knight players in the top 4 placings. Nakat and {{Sm|False}} also took 2nd place in doubles. Nairo and {{Sm|ADHD}} took 1st in teams, defending their title from [[Apex 2013]], and did not lose a single game after being knocked into losers' bracket by Nick Riddle and {{Sm|Shaky}}. Some of the most notable [[money match]]es included {{Sm|Seibrik}} defeating Salem in a best of 7 $50 match (with around $300 in side bets), and {{Sm|TonyT}} defeating {{Sm|MechWarrior}} in a charity event. All the money raised for the fundraiser was donated to {{s|wikipedia|Autism Speaks}}. | The tournament has become known for its upsets; heavily-favored players to win the tournament such as {{Sm|Salem}}, Mr. R, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, and ZeRo were knocked into Losers' bracket earlier than expected by supposedly lower-level players.
