Don't tell anyone, but the main reason I hire Verd is because he always makes me look incredible.

@EedPosting I had to blow the budget on something

[G-P @GPtheTO]

That's a wrap on Albion Arena!

Thanks very much to everyone who attended, and doubly to everyone who helped make it happen! Once I'm done recovering, I'll do a full breakdown of the event from my perspective.

Look out for full galleries from the media team soon!

FIRST AT ALBION ARENA CLIPPING EVERYBODY ❤️

[SWFGC | fire☆star @firestar7o7]

On my train back from Albion Arena, thank you @GPtheTO that was a stellar event.

Amazing venue, vibe and smoothly ran brackets.

Did 4 comms blocks, close to 7 hours total. That BBCF shift was unexpected but I'm happy to have helped out last minute, it was an amazing top 6.

[Edwin @TalesOfMrE]

I had the pleasure to attend Albion Arena as part of @NorwichGFest, where I was on the career talks line up giving a presentation on Community Management 🙂‍↕️

Thank you @GPtheTO for the invite, I had a lot of fun today which includes watching the GBVSR tournament ⚔️

[Dom Sacco @Dom_Sacco]

.@NorwichGFest kicked off today with Albion Arena!

Smash Bros and other FGC tournaments, retro sections including an amazing real life Donkey Kong course, Pokémon card traders, careers talks and more

Good job @AlbionGamesCafe @GPtheTO! And great to meet @TalesOfMrE & @VerdPhoto

[Albion Games @AlbionGamesCafe]

The stream setup is looking nice for the weekend!

We'll see you all ready to go for 11am tomorrow! And remember to bring your setups for Smash if you marked yourself as doing so, not only to help it run but to be in with a chance of winning our unique Albion Arena controller!

[G-P @GPtheTO]

@Kirb0Kirb Good luck, and no pressure!

[G-P @GPtheTO]

@Skylord_Guthix Smash 4 players: This 2-hit combo is called the weewoo

@EedPosting Every stock taken vs. Diddy is honest and earned

[G-P @GPtheTO]

sorting scheduling conflicts for 9 different brackets is hard, but not impossible :D

As always, if you have any issues with the 1st draft, please submit those conflict requests through startgg and we'll pick it up

[Albion Games @AlbionGamesCafe]

The 1st draft brackets for Albion Arena are now LIVE!

If you have any player conflicts you wish to report, please do these through startgg before the end of Tuesday 19th May, and we'll make sure to tackle those for you!
