Also effective immediately, because of how everyone in the community has been treating each other on SoCal Smash twitter, EVERYONE is banned from GLS next week
We supposed to be on vacation you little shits, and not thinking about smash lol
In light of learning about Aphro/Diamondupree’s passing, GLS is dedicating half of this Friday’s venue fees to his gofundme to help his family in these times of need. We are sadden to hear about his passing are here to help the community in this time of mourning and need
Effective immediately, Luis (@.L_Vis_MK) Mario, is banned from all GLS & 1MFG events due to openly racist comments on social media and in person the smash community with no remorse. We have zero tolerance to racism and condemn it in all forms.
Statement regarding FoF redemption bracket:
It has been brought to our attention from multiple sources that
@White_NovaULT
&
@MarvelousMarco_
have committed bracket manipulation in the redemption bracket, after receiving information about a pot bonus. 1/6
Both Chase And Lui$ did not want to play out grand finals so we awarded first place to the next player that did want to play, which was Peckham
Chase and Lui$ played Mario Kart for 2nd & 3rd place winnings
*Update*
Thanks to the generosity of

ALL venue fees for Friday’s GLS will be donated to the family. Coming together for our communities time of need is why we love and are grateful to work with the Riverside Game Lab

This year we are thankful for being able to sponsor our local gatekeeper
@razopch
He’s had some amazing accomplishments this year in SoCal Smash, and we are excited to see what he can do once we start sending him out of region
We barely made it to GLS 80 before getting jacked!
If anyone has info on the person in red we would like to ask him for out switch back

Obviously, there has been a lot of anger and frustration over Steve and Kazuya lately. We have to consider making some difficult decisions for the health of the game. After discussing this with other TOs, we have decided that for the rest of the season, we are going to ban DNG
We will also install a permanent rule that no pr players will be allowed to enter any type of redemption or resurrection brackets in any of our future tournaments. 5/6
We regret to inform everyone that starting this week, the Super Smash Bros Ultimate series of tournaments known as Game Lab Smash will be no longer in operation 😞
Was great times working
@backyardsmash

@rivgamelab
We will be taking a break from tournaments
Nah cause see we really dont care and we’re tired of being humble. We are the best tourney in socal, no if's, ands, or buts. You just dont think we are because we live in the most isolated region in socal and it takes 8 months to get here in traffic
Here’s something to look forward to in the new year:
Game Lab Smash: SoCal Invitational!
Top 10 of SoCal PR get automatically invited to the finals! Everyone else can collect points from various SoCal tourneys in January, Top 20 with the most points get invited!
More info soon!
Since there’s been a lot of discourse about this character lately we have gone ahead and made a decision
Box Kazuya is now banned from all GLS tourneys
Effective immediately, Phillip (@.PhipSsb) Koelling, is banned from all GLS, 1MFG, & BYS events due to openly racist comments directed towards multiple members of the smash community with no remorse. We have zero tolerance to racism and condemn it in all forms.
The wait is over!
We are finally bringing Melee to the
@rivgamelab
-As always, streamed by
@backyardsmash
-Bi-Weekly Thursdays
-Over 10+ Setups ready for Tournament or Friendlies
-Come check us out March 30th!
Bracket manipulation will not be tolerated in any form and will be grounds for expulsion from all SoCal tournaments. Let this be a warning to all who may attempt this in the future. 6/6
Dude to the current Steve discourse, we have come to the conclusion that we will not ban Steve, Instead, what we will be doin is we will be publicly voting off a different player each week who failed to defend the region if the tournament falls into the hands of an OOR player
This guy literally has one of the largest locals in socal down the street from his college talkin about Socal dead 🤦🏻♂️

We have read and taken in everyone’s concerns about FoF and our events in general today. This journey into hosting events started out as a passion project, creating a local community to hang out with friends with a common interest whether it be smash or fgc
We just going to leave this here:

If you didn’t know, Game Lab Smash (
@rivgamelab
@backyardsmash
@OMF_Gaming
) will be backing up one of the biggest Smash Bros events in SoCal:
@Wavedashseries
Smash Major in San Diego!
To celebrate will be offering FREE SSBU entries to Top 3 of our Upcoming Super Game Lab Smash 4
***Attention to all our 21 and under players***
Per new venue rules, they will not be letting anyone 21 and under into the venue after 10pm without an adult
Because of this new rule we will be wrist banning every tournament player, and security will be recognizing the wristbands
Although the ban has expired, due to the lasting damage he has done to the community he will not be allowed to enter any tournament we host indefinitely
The IE safety panel has agreed to ban VIEWTIFULDan for 18 months after several women in the community have reached out with evidence of sexual harassment as well as other members of the community expressing that they are uncomfortable attending events with him present.
Due to the venue/pot price discourse in SoCal Smash, we have decided to combine venue and pot money so that the winner can take home a nice pot!
See you guys tomorrow!
Due to player conduct,
@White_NovaULT
will not be allowed at any game lab smash event for the remainder of the season. We genuinely thought he came to support us last minute so we let him enter a closed and finalized bracket. We didn’t know it was for nefarious purposes
Friday, May 19th
We are hosting a Smash Ultimate Crew battle 4v4!
Team up with 3 homies and battle to the top in a winner take all tournament!
-Only Rule is One
PR player allowed per team!
We are also hosting a Smash 4 tourney in conjunction with our crew battles
Link below!⬇️⬇️
Due to overwhelming support from players, TOs, and people of the community,
@Andrik_ssb
&
@RDTBigBoss
not only earned their spot in the finals but will be special guests. We are still lookin for next top 20 by the end of today
We will not be asking for the winnings back since this was an oversight on our part and will take full responsibility. He is free to do whatever his conscious allows him to do with his winnings. 3/6
The player known as
@Higher_ssbu
is no longer welcomed at any GLS events for multiple instances of inappropriate behavior towards multiple players & the venue has banned him for multiple instances of arriving intoxicated to the point of being incoherent as a concern for safety
If anyone was curious:
With venue fees combined with your generous donations we managed to raise $930 for the family!
Due to the high amount we have made arrangements with the family and will be donating privately and directly
We appreciate everyone who banned together for this

Sorry gramps. Your region is shit and you're the prime shitter so I should give the prehistoric golden trash bag his respect you're right.
Las acciones de el jugador y comentarista “Serk” no son agradecidas por nuestra organizacion y será banneado de asistir y participar en nuestros eventos de efecto inmediato.
No toleramos la difamación ni calumnia, y nos reservamos el derecho de admisión en nuestros eventos.

Gonna give you the benefit of doubt and say you're young with the way you quote tweet, but you can just consider yourself banned from the Winter Crew Battles.
I'll see you next Spring Crews should you decide to make the trip!
To rectify this situation for the players that felt cheated out of redemption bracket we will be paying out the pot bonus in full to the top 4 players under white nova & Marco. 4/6
IMO PR and non PR should have a chance at payout, so we are paying out Top 16 next week at GLS 100

We will be back next week!
In the meantime we offer a challenge!
