ZeRo Receives a Last Minute Spot in GOML Thanks to Zinoto’s Withdrawal
Over the last few months we’ve seen a lot more of TSM’s Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios on YouTube than we have in competition thanks to a finger injury that has left him unable to compete. That’s all set to change this weekend however, as ZeRo has managed to land himself a last minute berth at Get On My Level after fifth seed PULSE|Zinoto had to pull out. This first came to light when it was Tweeted by Elliot “Ally” Carroza-Oyarce and was later confirmed by the man himself in another Tweet.
This means that ZeRo’s attendance at GOML has gone full circle–he initially registered at the event but, thanks to his finger problems, was unable to take part. However, his registration was still paid for and valid which meant that, when Zinoto had to unfortunately drop out of the tournament, ZeRo was already signed up and primed to take his place. Since ZeRo is now the highest ranked player in attendance, pools are set to be reseeded–though since Zinoto was already the fifth seed, it should be a relatively simple matter.
With the addition of a man who many believe to be the best player in the world, GOML has rounded out a lineup of high-quality attendees that include Nairo, hometown hero Ally, and Mexican wunderkind MKLeo, who will be making his very first international appearance. With such a surplus of top-level talent in attendance to challenge a rusty ZeRo, Get On My Level is primed to be a wildly exciting tournament with all manner of upsets on the cards–and that’s just Smash 4! With only PPMD missing, 5 of the top 6 Melee players will be battling alongside a whole host of challengers to lay claim to the Melee crown. It looks like Get On My Level is going to be a terrific event and, for those of us who can’t get to Canada, there will be multiple streams for our viewing pleasure. Check out the schedule below to see where and when you can feast your eyes on the best Super Smash Bros. action around.

General: The MMO Leap to Console
This week if the news taught us anything it is that the MMO leap to console systems has now been validated. Yesterday, Matt Firor made a few announcements in a feature on GameIndustry.biz about the success that Elder Scrolls Online has had in the console market. It opened a lot of eyes in the game world and perhaps this is the jump start we need to really begin seeing major companies invest in MMOs again.

Meet the Matsuda Family and Street Fighter III Favorites in Street Fighter V Concept Art
The CFN Portal continues to add concept art depicting how characters fit into Street Fighter V’s world, recently turning the focus to Laura Matsuda’s family tree. In addition to her younger brother Sean (who we’ve already met through Street Fighter III, and Street Fighter V’s story mode), we are introduced to her grandfather Kinjiro from Japan, her parents Yuichiro and Brenda, and her older brother Fabio. We also learn she has two cousins, Enzo and Manuela, who practice capoeira.
