GT-X Wrap Up

GameTyrant Expo (GT-X) debuted last weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah and was one of the coolest events we’ve been to this year. We were excited for GT-X for a few reasons:

  • One – the tournament was held in a sweet sports arena.
  • Two – Rivals was the 3rd largest event (behind Melee and Sm4sh).
  • And three – we decided to reveal a brand new character!

Here’s our wrap up for the event if you missed any of the action.

Character Reveal

First, if you somehow missed our character reveal you can check it out in our reveal article posted yesterday. Ranno and Clairen are coming out in 2 weeks and we’ve got her official trailer as well as some more lore, elemental powers, and gameplay laid out for you.

What’s Next

This wraps up the currently planned local events for the RCS before Genesis 5. However we’re on the lookout for one more before the finals, so make sure you let us know about any events in November or December where you want to see Rivals. See you at the next one!

Also, don’t forget to register for our RCS Season 2 finals at Genesis 5 to be a part of the largest Rivals event ever. Just like last year, we plan to make this one to remember. You can still sign up with regular event pricing at smash.gg/G5.
