Why I do it

Since we've been doing this for a bit now some people have asked me why I stream. My answer to them is cause it's fun and it's helped me to be a more social person. When I first started streaming the event we'll say I wasn't the most sociable person. Not to say that I was mean towards people, I just didn't have the best social skills and didn't like talking because of it. After getting into the rhythm of streaming the events though I began to meet new people both in person and in stream. I never would've met these people without doing the event, and thanks to the experiences I've had with them I became a more open person. I'm no social butterfly now, but I'm more comfortable with myself.

With this combination of tools we provide try to provide the best tourney experience for GGSW.

Ultimate tournament in Michigan GGSW (Gamers Gauntlet Smash Weeklies). Let's start this off with a quicky history on us. We used to consist of 4-5 people but now we're down to 2, my friend  Deno  and me,  JP  (side note: most of this blog will be told from my personal perspective). We started out streaming CMPL, a more casual Smash 4 weekly that was hosted in the Clinton Macomb Public Library, this was our first weekly we ever attended and offered to stream it under the name of the weekly until the event was canceled in 2016. After CMPL we were picked up immediately by the GGSW team where we needed to re brand ourselves quickly (like 2 days), and went with the name TeamDxCx. For the remainder of Smash 4 we operated under this name which was... interesting to say the least. The name was hard for people to remember and was alwa...
