We are heartbroken by the loss of Vince Zampella, a creative leader whose work shaped generations of players and helped define what modern shooters and action games could be. Across a remarkable career, Vince played a foundational role in franchises including Call of Duty,

Sunset Melee reached a few milestones today: - Over 300 attendees for the event - Over 200 entrants for melee singles (Cap is 256) - Over 50 matched teams for melee doubles (Cap is 64 Teams) Given that we've got a bit over 9 days left in registration I'd say it's looking good!

We are excited to announce that New England Star League is back for 2026 Please see the full trailer and information on how to play below!🧵

Got a nice pic today with Bob, the owner of Merrymac Games & Comics (the SSS venue until recently) and I was happy I got the chance to thank him for his store's support for our tournaments over the last 12 years. It was a pretty nice moment. :)

2025 was a big year for me. It was tough at points, but I am looking forward to moving on to a new chapter of my life soon. A lot of stress and unpaid work will be coming off my back, and I can't wait to get working towards being my best self in 2026. Happy New Year everyone!

Milestone reached: Sunset Melee is officially at 236 entrants for melee singles now with 3 days left to reg, which makes SM the biggest melee regional that the world has seen in the last 14 months. Great stuff everyone!!! We've got 20 spots left, and I hope we can fill em all. :)

Update: Competitor registration for Sunset closes tomorrow at 11:59pm and we're sitting at 248/256 entrants to the cap! Only 8 spots left...

SUNSET MELEE HAS CAPPED OUT AT 256 ENTRANTS FOR MELEE SINGLES! Thank you all so much for your support! Melee Doubles still has some open spots. If you registered and have to drop out, please let me know ASAP! The waitlist is now open here: forms.gle/uqzWQQwx6HJjie…

Next weekend is going to be one of the busiest ones of my life by the looks of it. Can't wait.

ATTENTION GAMERS! Melee Singles Pools for Sunset are LIVE, and in light of their time of publishing, feedback is open until 8:00 PM tomorrow. PLEASE SUBMIT FEEDBACK IF YOU HAVE ANY CONFLICTS OR CONCERNS! start.gg/tournament/sun…

Got a lot more to retrieve tomorrow, but I'd say 14 TVs and a bunch of other equipment in one trip is a good start. :)

We got day 1 of Sunset done! I am beyond grateful for all the lead and support staff who did great work today, along with all of my old and new friends who came through. Seeing so many friends that I've met over the last 12 years of my life has been really awesome. :)

The most real task of my whole year is now before me. Can't wait to get back and tell em some stories about what I saw this past weekend. :)

Sunset Melee photo album is out!

Got these hung up recently. On the left is my old bucket hat, the first one I used for years in the old days. The hat on the right I got as a present at my birthday tournament back in August, signed by a good few of my friends. I think I'll be keeping these. :)
