The IMS Gamer Squad has been in full swing with a Super Smash Brothers Ultimate tournament! We had 17 students participating in 4 rounds of matches. Each student picked a character to play, and each match was a best two out of three battle. Students got to pick their own maps to battle on, and each battle was a 3 stock battle.
Our top two players were Maverick Durden and Andriy Tsirkot, with Maverick being our 1st place champion! Both players also got a chance to play against the Chief of Police for the city of Independence. In the end, Maverick still came out on top!
