While many esports have transferred online with relative ease, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been at the eternal mercy of a subpar netcode and Nintendo’s poor online functionality.<\/p>\n

Many top players have already called for Ultimate’s online to be fixed in frustration<\/a>, but organisers of online Smash tournaments in the Quarantine Series, Alpharad and MoistCr1TiKaL, have decided to implement new rules to combat fatigue. <\/p>\n

Smash tournaments in the Quarantine Series will now be region locked to United States, Canada and Mexico, to ensure stronger connections between players. <\/p>\n

Minor events have also been dropped entirely, with the next tournament set to take place on 30th May titled King of WiFi. <\/p>\n

Due to the insane number of wifi tournaments leading to intense burnout, we’ve decided to change up the Quarantine Series a little bit.<\/p>\n

1) Region locking to USA\/MX\/CA
\n2) Scrapping “minor” tournaments (50%)
\n3) The next tournament (May 30) will be all random characters<\/p>\n
