Midwest Mayhem 11 (Smash 4)

MM11 will be held on Saturday, March 10th, 2018 with a stage and 24 hour venue access.

The E2C/MM11 team will be hosting side events on Friday, March 9th which will include an Auction Event and other side events.

For MM11, E2C will be working with multiple European organizations to host qualifying EU events that will send 6 tournament winners to MM11. Those tournaments include:

Valhalla on 1/05-1/07 (Copenhagen, Denmark): https://smash.gg/tournament/valhalla

CCE: Smash Valley on 1/20 (Essen, Germany): https://smash.gg/tournament/calyptus-cup-essen-x-smash-valley

Dat BlastZone 25 on 1/27 (London, United Kingdom): https://smash.gg/tournament/dat-blastzone-25-the-silver-anniversary/details

Roll Dynasty Tournament 2 on 2/24 (Vila-Real, Spain): https://smash.gg/tournament/roll-dynasty-tournament-2/details

The highest placing player at each tournament will be offered a free flight to attend MM11. The same player cannot win more than 1 flight. In that case, or if a player declines the flight, the runner up will then be offered the flight.

By working with other regions, we hope to do a lot of cross promoting among our communities, and give players in those communities an opportunity to showcase their skills against the best in the Midwest.
