Month: March 2015

Earlier this month, the heads of S.O.S. Gamers–Kwabena “Kubuu” Ampofo and Antoine “DA|Wes” Lewis-Hall–announced plans to bring a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U league to the underprivileged youth of New York City. Their non-profit organization started an Indiegogo page to help collect donations from those who believe in their cause. We were able to speak to them at the time of the campaign’s launch to get a better feel for the specifics surrounding this upcoming league.

Their campaign has nearly run its course with the final date, April 2, closing in fast. As of this writing, the team has raised 59% of their goal to get this project rolling. In order to help make their way over that final hump, Kubuu and Wes will be hosting an eight-hour stream this Sunday beginning at 2 PM Eastern.

We spoke to Kubuu about the stream earlier this week and he says that they want “to put a focus on having an open discussion with viewers about the state of Smash in the competitive gaming arena as well as host an open Q&A with viewers if they have any questions regarding S.O.S. Gamers, [their] youth league, or other Smash-related endeavors.” Additionally, they plan to give away two copies of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, one at the 75% marker and a second once their donation goal has been reached.

If you’re interested in chatting with the guys about their project, watching them throw down in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, or even challenging them to some friendlies yourself, be sure to tune in later this weekend.
