And @IGN 's response was to delete their tweet and not the articles. I dont respect them or @Dexerto at all, absolutely shitty imo (and wasnt dexerto's first time doing this, they did it last year to me too). Half-truths constantly just for clicks, fuck the other persons life or the full/true story, right? I'm sure they feel 0% bad too.
My resume has a short bullet point about being sponsored and globally ranked in Smash Bros Melee
I asked one of the doctors I work with (who can be very stern and serious) for a letter of recommendation and this was his response LMFAOO
Man I’m genuinely so proud of what we’ve accomplished with Lucky 7s
I wrote this loose project plan for the project in late 2023.
We’ve always believed that the community needed a central, trusted group that can execute in all areas: Events, technology, player sponsorships, and soon: content. A group that is independent, grassroots, and passionate about re-investing its success back into the scene.
The economics change when you have a group who truly enjoys this work and has no investors to answer to. The community does have money they want to spend, and when we learn there’s a group who can be trusted to multiply that value back into the scene, I do think we can become the first long term sustainable Melee org with S tier execution in all categories that can exist as a strong backbone for the scene for the good times and bad.
Thank you to everybody who’s trusted us and supported us, I don’t take the responsibility lightly. The community has been burnt so many times.
From early day discussions with @0degreewaveland and us chatting in 2022 about feeling we could do it, but thinking the barriers were too tall to climb and then @plushVG joining the team before we even really got started.
To @spotdodge_shine and @ossify37 letting us kick off the org by sending them to Genesis X and @Freezus304 being our first full time sponsored player.
To all of the Steven’s Melee supporting our grand efforts and participating in Breakfast’s early rendition Full House tournaments and @nycmelee for being such a supporting and innovative scene.
To the players from Full House 2025 who trusted a bunch no names to invite them to a mansion and host and intimate wildly ambitious invitational for a weekend @iBDWSSBM@moky_dokie@LiquidHbox@TempoAxe@ZainNaghmi@C9Mang0@LilTrickshot@n0ned@TrifSmash@SaltSSB@s00nsay@jakedirado@arJunebug@AuraSSBM@KrudoKyle and especially @NotAklo and @DarkGenex for believing in us from the start and putting their neck on the line vouching for our legitimacy. And of course, to @g0shine@ssbm_Horde@findthatyeti_@beta@josh_fti for being so so essential to making the event happen.
To all the fresh faces and VIPs and commentators @ViciousVish@epengu@jackzilla (and so many more)
And to the latest era of signing @s00nsay@Rap1238727@kurothearbiter and our Lucky Stats users, subscribers, and all the devs who came before to build the foundations that make it all possible @Fizzi36@UnclePunch_@rwing_aitch@jmlee337@startgg@iphone194629174
All these tags are engagement bait as fuck but I truly appreciate all the collaboration over the years. Thank you.
We have so much more planned and excited to continue this journey with yall. Long live Lucky 7s :)
Hello everyone. Platfight is coming up this week, and I come to you with great sadness to say that this event needs help financially. If you are in a position to do so, any support goes a long way. We also have our Merch Shop open. Thank you. ☹️❤️
We are investing early.
Welcome @kurothearbiter to Lucky 7s as Content Director and our first official Content Creator!
So excited to have you on board, Kuro 👑
