With the FGC growing ever more esports, it’s only natural that stadiums and prize pots would be getting bigger. Offering a $100,000 total prize pot with $60,000 of that being dedicated to both Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Melee, GameTyrant Expo is a tournament that Smashers can’t afford to miss.
GT-X will take place from September 29th to October 1st, with the tournament taking over the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. While Smash 4 and Melee will act as the headlining games, GameTyrant Expo will also be holding events for:
- Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
- Street Fighter V
- Injustice 2
- Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2
- Tekken 7
With it having one of the largest prize pots in Smash’s history, it is no surprise that the entire upper echelon of both Smash 4 and Melee have signed up to attend GT-X. If you are interested in attending this landmark event, early bird registration lasts up until July 31st, with standard registration being open until August 29th.
All the details can be found over on the GT-X website, with individual game registration being handled by smash.gg. If you want to know why GT-X CEO Joshua Patel chose Smash to headline this huge event, make sure to check out the short interview below.
