Pokémon at Apex 2013 (Winners and Archive Posted)

Apex, the largest Smash Bros. event in the world and the United States’ largest grassroots Pokémon tournament kicks off today! In a few hours, the Pokémon event will start up and the entire thing will be livestreamed to the world. We’re proud to announce that commentary for Pokémon will be provided by two of our most prominent users: Nugget Bridge Editor-in-Chief Evan L. (evan) and Three Time World Champion Ray Rizzo (Ray)! With their combined experience, we should have a very informative and entertaining stream to watch this evening.

  1. 60% of Prize Pot
