KDJ is starting to get back into Melee (he went to one of the recent Mass Madness tourneys); PC is going to an upcoming NY Melee tourney; and M2k says he wants to start practicing for Genesis.
On the West Coast, Mango's standing strong, Sean seems interested in practicing for Genesis, and Taj is working on Shadowclaw 3.
Melee is looking somewhat bright for the year 2009.
(Plus, Genesis is in July, and Ohana might be pretty good too if it happens)
IMPORTANT QUESTION:
With ACMM3 coming up, a lot of the important players in AZ will be competing. What is a great tournament without crew battles? However, some controversy has arisen that making a PHOENIX crew would be unfair. The idea to do crews at this tournament was sparked from the desire to create competition and rivalry between Arizona's regions, but Draft crews have the argument that it brings the state together.
Would you guys rather do draft crews or regional crews? PLEASE submit your input.
p.s. It'll be 5v5 OR 6v6 regional, 6v6 draft
