With the first season of FUSE wrapping up earlier this month, the Genesis Smash team have announced that they will be running a second season of the Super Smash Bros. doubles circuit. Along with Super Smash Bros. Melee, this second season will include Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as well.
Season 2 will kick off on August 1st, with it running until sometime in December. Low Tier City 5 will be the first event on the circuit, with it acting as a Bronze level event for Melee and a Gold level event for Smash 4. All events are graded based on their final attendance numbers, with The Big House 7 being the only fixed Major event. Any open Smash event is available to join the Season 2 circuit, as long as they are an open event with at least 16 teams in attendance.

We've also adjusted our points structure. All event values are based on final attendance numbers, except TBH7, the sole Major-level event. pic.twitter.com/e0GjsFGtW1

Like Season 1, the top teams from both the Smash 4 and Melee circuits will be invited to the final invitational, where pride and prizes will be up for grabs. For all the information on rules, tournament registration and bracket seeding, check the FUSE smash.gg page.
