While GameStop’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament just began round 1 this past Saturday evening, the Nintendo and Best Buy tourney concluded during the midnight launch of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The tournament had four rounds, starting February 16th at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, CA and ending at Best Buy in New York City.
The national winner ended up being Daniel Jung. He walks away as the top SSBB Brawler and wins a crystal-coated Wii, featuring a design from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a home theater system from Best Buy and a copy of the game. Congrats, Daniel! You’re the envy of brawlers across the nation!
