Hello Smogon, I'm sure the majority of you know about EVO, being the biggest FGC event, but what many of you may not know is this year EVO decided to allow the 8th and final game to be decided by who ever donates the most to Breast Cancer.
For a little background on myself, I've been an avid member of the SSBM(Melee) community since 2005, entering my first tournament back at MLG SF. Through the years I've had many ups, downs and overall great times. But that's not what keeps me playing, no this community is like a family. I've never been a part of something so huge that it can span so many walks of life. The people of melee, will literally give the shirt off their back if its for one of their own, they open their homes for those traveling out of state, they subject their families and friends to the rowdiness that we all can get when together. And its for that very reason why I've made so many lifetime friendships and connections.
Now currently we have raised 28,000+ as a group. Smashers from every region of the world are coming together to get our shot to hang with the big boys in FGC. Now we are always looking for help and would love others to help get us to the ultimate stage in Vegas.
Now I'm asking for just one of two things, and there will be prizes for either of these!
First and foremost, if you can, if you know someone who can, hell if you know anyone who knows anyone who can donate, it would be huge to our cause and we would all be eternally grateful. Remember in the end, even if we don't win, we do because in the end we are donating for the greater good. To find a cure, to save a life, to help a family. Even something as simple as $5 will go a long way in helping us help the fight against breast cancer.
But I know times are rough, and money is not abundant or unneeded. So if you cannot donate, I ask that you please spread this link anyway you can:
https://www.wepay.com/donations/243970321
That means Facebook, Twitter, TwitchTV, hell if you have a Youtube channel you use for battling we'd be honored if you just mentioned us.
WE only have until the end of January to make this happen so please if you can help it'd be awesome!
Now I know no deed should ever go unrewarded, and that's why I'm offering the following for the following:
