Reception
ESA was well-received by most smashers who attending the event, due to its excellent organization compared to previous tournaments; some players even consider ESA as the best European tournament in competitive Melee history. This extreme popularity caused its sequel, Epita Smash Arena 2, to receive 231 entrants, making it the largest Melee tournament ever hosted in Europe. Reception to this tournament, however, was not as positive as the initial installment. Three more "sequels" to the event were later hosted, though none attained the number of entrants as ESA or its immediate successor.
