Are you the UK and Ireland’s best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate squad? Prove it and you could compete in the European Smash Ball Team Cup 2019 Finals!

08/02/2019
Attention Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players! Following the announcement of the first-ever European Smash Ball Team Cup, Nintendo UK is on the search for the trio of smashers that will represent the UK and Ireland via a short tournament series that will conclude at Insomnia64, Birmingham, on Saturday 20th April 2019.
To ensure that we find the best of the best, Nintendo UK is teaming up with communities across England, Ireland, and Scotland to offer three regional instant qualifiers throughout March 2019. Winning in one of these tournaments will instantly secure your team’s spot in the Top 4 UK Final taking place at Insomnia64.
Alongside these 3 instant qualifier events, our friends at Nintendo Players UK will be offering the final Top 4 spot through their own Road to Insomnia64 community event series. 16 local communities will be running tournaments with tickets to Insomnia, and a place in the Nintendo Players UK Road To Insomnia64 Qualifier, up for grabs! For more information about this series, and where you can compete, please visit the Nintendo Players UK announcement here.
The major battlefields are as follows…
Event Date Location Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Smash Ball Team Cup United Kingdom and Ireland – Edinburgh Qualifier (Event link coming soon) 30th March 2019 Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Smash Ball Team Cup United Kingdom and Ireland – London Qualifier 2nd March 2019 Bolney Meadow Community Centre, Vauxhall, London Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Smash Ball Team Cup United Kingdom and Ireland – Nintendo Players UK Road To Insomnia64 Qualifier and Top 4 UK Final at Insomnia64, Birmingham 20th April 2019 Insomnia64, NEC, Birmingham Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Smash Ball Team Cup United Kingdom and Ireland- Dublin Qualifier 23rd March 2019 Hotel Riu Plaza, 23 Upper O’Connell Street, Dublin
Please click on the qualifier you’re interested in to find out more about that event via the organising community’s event page. That’s where you can also ask questions, as well as show your interest in attending.
For those that want to watch some competitive Super Smash Bros. Ultimate action, and perhaps take part in some casual competition on the Nintendo UK stage, tickets for Insomnia64 can be purchased here. We will be announcing our full plans for Insomnia64 in the coming weeks.
Please be aware that spaces are limited at all of these events and entry into these tournaments will be offered on a first come first served basis, so please check the appropriate event page to avoid disappointment. Given that this is a team event we recommend that you arrive with two allies in tow, but if you do attend on your own then event organisers will do their best to get you into a team, spaces permitting!
These events will all follow the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Smash Ball Team Cup 2019 format. This format will see squads of three players compete in a Best of 5 series that includes a 2v2 scrap, 1v1 matches played in Smashdown mode and, if a winning team is still yet to be decided after 4 matches, a 3v3 Elimination Squad Strike.
These matches will all use a 3 Stock setup and will remove all items except for the powerful Smash Ball. Will these screen-filling attacks be used by struggling scrappers to mount a comeback? Or will sneaky players intercept those drawn in by the Smash Ball’s allure? However it goes, matches are sure to be exciting tests of skills and eachteam’s ability to adapt!
It’s time to summon your smashing sidekicks, get practising, and set your sights for the top! Follow @NintendoUKVS on Twitter to keep up to date with announcements and news regarding the search, and good luck to all of those planning to compete!
