Midwest Mayhem is a regional tournament series organized by Events2Compete and held in Chicago, Illinois that debuted in March 2016. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the most popular game, with some of the Midwest's best players gathering there to compete, including the likes of Zinoto, Ned, Tyroy, Darkshad, and JJROCKETS. Sometimes world-class smashers such as ZeRo, Ally, Nairo, Abadango and Mr.R are in attendance as well. The series also featured Super Smash Bros. Melee, Project M, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournaments, but they had far fewer entrants.
