Back in my college days before I tore my knee ligaments, I played pick-up basketball at the UCLA gym, which had 3 open courts. Within these 3 courts came unspoken rules. The best players would play on the first court. When I say best, I mean that they were legitimately solid. These weren’t your typical scrubs that would play once in a while. These players were all above 6’5″ with some of them being good enough to walk on as a bench-dweller on the actual college team. The 2nd court featured players that were decent, but not good enough to play on the first court. The third court featured everyone else that didn’t have freakishly athletic bodies or a Larry Bird-esque shot. Yet even though the talent wasn’t particularly great, we all had our fun, competing against each other in a relatively even playing field. One particular day, the first two courts were backlogged with players, causing a trickling down of players into the third court.

The finale of the MLG qualifiers moves to New Jersey for a 5K event. Many players are in the hunt to earn a spot into the MLG Anaheim Finals. In addition, this will be the first time in nearly a year that Armada will be playing Melee in the United States. Other powerhouses, C9.Mang0, EG.PPMD (Dr. PeePee), and P4K EMP Mew2King will also be in attendance, so expect some really exciting matches between them. Along with Armada,  Reign.eSports Professor Pro will also make an appearance at SKTAR 3, playing in Melee singles along with some exciting exhibitions. From the west coast, Westballz, MIOM|SFAT, MMG|Shroomed, and several others will be traveling across the country to participate. Along with people traveling from out of the area, several east coast players such as CTRL|DJ Nintendo, CTRL|The Moon and APEX|Nintendude  will be hoping to defend their turf along with earning MLG Anaheim spots.

The Point Situation can be found here.
