What event was it?
ah true I always forget lud and friends are fans of the game. I hope he hosts something again :o
ah that makes sense - i guess the barrier to entry is so low now w slippi and discord. good point!
it blows my mind that so many ppl are finding melee these days
In my head a bunch of the entry funnel stuff hasn't been as large, which makes me wonder how people are finding it?
I have a feeling its a post-covid lack of 3rd places & ppl out of college / moving around looking for community

As of today, Replay Manager now includes several features written not by me, but new contributors!

graph of tournaments, entrants, and unique entrants per month. tournaments are currently double 2019 numbers, entrants are currently up about 50% over 2019 numbers, and unique entrants are up slightly over 2019 numbers
while social media narratives seem to be driven by top players and figureheads bemoaning the decline of majors, the reality for most is that local/weekly Melee has never been better
Congrats to Moburu for winning Melee at Recess this month! Thanks to everyone who came out and special thanks to @slimy.level1.tv for TOing with me!

As someone who’s played Rocket League for 10 years now I understand how doc kids say that they’re newheads lol
Poll showing Cuomo beating Mamdani by only two points.
Wow — New poll shows Andrew Cuomo's 1-on-1 lead against Zohran Mamdani has shrunk to *just 2 points*
51-49.
And this poll was conducted *before* AOC endorsed Mamdani.
+ Cuomo's lead against Mamdani in the first round of ranked choice voting is now only 7 points.
A statement from NYC Melee:

5 years of dedication to IRL fighting games.
3 biggest mistakes of my life
3. Jumping to a startup during the tech crash
2. Not going on hormones at 13
1. Not going to smash camp when I lived in AZ

There are a million things to be outraged about right now (this is by design). My number one is, trans people don’t have the numbers to defend themselves from all the ways these people are trying to strip them of their humanity. Feels like a “first they came for (x) and I did not speak out” moment
Releasing our S10 PR! Shoutouts to all the dope players who made it (and the lame ones ig too 😇)
Reply thread will have all the individual player cards and blurbs, be sure to give a look! We had community members write some honestly crazy good pieces, please check them out!
