NA RCS October Recap

The NA Rivals Championship Series monthly is over for October – with some surprising results. If you missed the event and were hoping to catch it spoiler free, here’s a playlist with the VoDs where you can watch the tournament in peace. Go check it out on YouTube and come back to this article later to dodge spoilers.

Though we’ve had thousands of players by this point in the season, only the top of the standings will secure their travel vouchers to our finals at Genesis 5.

na-standingsStaying on top is only getting tougher as entrant counts rise (440 entrants this Saturday!) and competition gets fiercer. With just 3 events left, including this one, top players were working hard to solidify their leads and make some last minute jumps.

Though most players wouldn’t have predicted the outcome of this event, Windows was making it his mission to at least land in the top 8. He stepped away from his usual position as a commentator this weekend citing that, “[he’s] been playing better recently” and wanted to get at least one top 8 this year.

VexX | DolphinBrick has also made some massive jumps the last few months with amazing placements. His first and second placings have shuffled the top 4 around and his consistancy makes him a player to look out for.

Even Burrito | LBO and T2 | CakeAssault will have to watch their backs with players rapidly closing in.

You can see the full standings and follow the race on smash.gg, or even even find yourself there if you’ve placed high enough at any events.

Congratulations once again to Windows for taking home the gold in one of the biggest online events this year!

There’s also still time to register for our RCS Season 2 finals at Genesis 5. Just like last year, we plan to make this an event to remember. You can still sign up with regular event pricing at smash.gg/G5.
