Due to issues regarding the venue, as well as financial issues, Critical Mass will not be running this year. It was a blast last year, and we had some cool stuff lined up for this year, but unfortunately we cannot reach Critical Mass.

Long live New England Smash <3

Last week of the 2024.1 season recap! In rare circumstances, we have 3 brand new major winners this weekend!

- The biggest event this week to close out the season was Mexico's staple series, S Factor 11. Despite little attendance out of region this season, his years of grinding of paid off. ShinyMark (@ShinyMark1) wins his first supermajor, let alone major, in his career. He took big wins over Rox, Maister, Many, Gackt, and Sonix (x2) to claim his stake in Ultimate's upper echolon.

- Our second major this weekend was Sumabato SP 49. Claiming solo Min Min's first major, as well as their own, was Japan's rising star Doramigi (@doramigi_1008). He takes down Kuroponzu, Raki, Ron, and Raru twice, and now hold the title of youngest major winner in Ultimate at 14 years old.

- The last major was the return of seibugeki#17. After making big waves just 6 months ago, TamaPDaifuku (@Tama_P_Daifuku9) finally find their first major win in an incredibly chaotic bracket. They took wins over Lax, Gorioka, Fui and double eliminated Shuton, claiming also the first major win for Bayonetta in Ultimate.

- Solar Flare 2024 took place in Ontario, with some US talent crossing the border to compete. And that talent would secure the invasion, as Jahzz0 (@Jahzz0) claimed victory over players such as Armadillo and Syrup (x2).

- Critical Mass took place this weekend, with Dabuz (@DabuzSenpai) cleanly taking the tournament, only dropping 1 game during his bracket run with wins over New England talent DM, Antimony, and Leviathan.

- And last but not least was McDonald's Smash Ultimate #1 in the Dominican Republic. Chazz (@Chazz278) would secure the regional win over TOGURO.

And of course, the last D tiers of the season below.
