Super Smash Con is right around the corner and we’ve just broken triple digits for registrants! With SSC and so many other exciting events on the Rivals Championship Series circuit this year, we want to make sure all of them get the love and support they need. To help meet this goal we’ve been working on something special with smash.gg – a standing compendium for the RCS.



This special shop will be available for the entirety of season 2, and contain Rivals skins and swag that you can’t get anywhere else. We’ll be rotating in goals as events come up (like Super Smash Con) as well as keeping our finals goal that can always be donated to. The best part is that 100% of the funds raised here go back to supporting our players and community.

To kick off the opening of the RCS compendium we’re including a brand new skin in the shop – Arcade Maypul! Pick her up on smash.gg to support Super Smash Con and get some sweet arcade effects for Maypul and Lily.

• [8/5 – 8/6] Low Tier City 5

Last year we began the Rivals Championship Series (RCS) and brought a developer supported circuit to our dedicated community. As the series grew, we needed a special finals event to cap it off, so we ended the first season at Genesis 4.

We were thrilled with the reception and Rivals players were too. People came from all over the world for the competition and camaraderie. With a 120 person bracket and a prize pool of over $11,000, players took away some amazing stories and friendships from the event.

Now the second RCS season is underway and already blowing last year’s numbers out of the water. We’re excited to announce that the finals will once again take place at Genesis – this time at Genesis 5 in Oakland, CA! Rivals registration was just announced yesterday with the main lineup of games and is now available here: https://smash.gg/G5

We'll have players from all over the world attending our season 2 finals, including our newest RCS region in Australia. Make sure you sign up to be a part of this amazing event celebrating our community. The first 500 people to register for Genesis 5 also get $10 off and a free shirt so make sure you get in early.

Rivals is returning to Super Smash Con for it's 3rd year in a row, and this time we're bigger than ever! We'll be moving out of the indie area and hosting fantastic side events all weekend, as well as an RCS major thanks to the wonderful folks at Super Smash Con.



Along with some fun Rivals gameplay we'll also have a reveal there for our first new, original character that's coming later this year. If you live on the east coast (or can travel) and are looking for a chance to meet the devs along with a ton of other Rivals players, we highly recommend checking out this event. You can find details below:


Super Smash Con:
August 10th - 13th | Chantilly, VA
Super Smash Con is a massive Nintendo fan event, and the only place to find international competition alongside an all-ages convention dedicated to all things Smash Bros. You can check out everything happening at the con at http://supersmashcon.com/

Along with the standard profile icons, you might have noticed six select team icons in the game.



These icons are more than just cosmetic. For the next two weeks, each win on the ranked ladder while wearing a team’s icon will count as a point for that team. At the end of the event, the team with the most points will get a skin themed around their org added to the game. You can keep track of how your favorite team is doing right on our blog:

http://www.rivalsofaether.com/blog/?p=1859

We’ll be counting each game win toward the final score instead of just set wins. This means that even if you lose the battle you can still win the war. The event runs until July 13th, so choose a team to join and head to the battlefield today.
