Helix is the first German international since Berlin Calling, which took place in 2010. The event will take place in Berlin, the beautiful and multicultural capital city of Germany in the very heart of the city, in a venue owned by Microsoft (which also has a Cafeteria right next to it). The team behind this Event – Game 5 consists of very experienced players and TOs from Germany with years of experience in the matter. Game 5 will be assisted by other prominent TOs, such as Luma, to guarantee an event of “german engineering standards”. If you never were really convinced to visit Berlin, this is your chance. Why not combine it with some high level Smash Bros?
Melee Singles is mandatory Event and is included in the venue fee.

The venue is in the heart of Berlin. The easiest way to get there is to first get to the station "Friedrichstraße" and walk from there. It's a 10 minute walk.
You can get to Friedrichstraße by S-bahn (S5, S7, S75 S1, S25), U-bahn (U6), bus (145) or tram (M1, 12). Most regional trains (not S/U-bahn) stop at Friedrichstr too, including those that come from Schönefeld airport, but these trains don't go very often.
Alternatively, you can take the buses 100, 200 or TXL (this bus goes and comes from airport Tegel) to "Unter den Linden/Friedrichstr." and walk to the venue from there.
