Shine is a 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 uses standard double elimination format for all four of its featured games.
Shine is New England's premier tournament series and the largest New England tournament series to date, with total entrants count frequently surpassing 1,000 entrants. The series frequently hosts major-level events for all its Smash events, with several of each game's best players always in attendance; as such, it is often considered the final major Smash event of the summer, as it takes place at the end of August. However, recent iterations have been smaller for Smash 64 and Ultimate, although it still remains as a rather prestigious event for New England.
Despite its success, the Shine tournaments were often run on a deficit. This, alongside the poor esports environment of that year, led to the decision to end the series after Shine 2023.[1]
