There are too many players to remember and name to give a shoutout to every last one. All you need to know is Iowa will be represented in Vegas very strongly including ST Master Charlie "Grog," Guilty Gear Anji specialist Travis "Klaige," Scott "Xiang" of the Video Gaming Federation, and many more!
Good luck guys.

What Happen?
If you're a follower of this blog, then you may have noticed I have been neglecting it for a couple of weeks. It's true, I'm not sure where my apathy started but it is coming to an end right now. There has been interesting stuff going on that I have not reported. Some of these items will be accompanied by future posts, but let me sum up as best I can.
A few of weeks ago, the weekend of the 25th of June, myself, Indianaz Finest, Kuares, and Joker traveled to Kansas City for their monthly. I believe we all could have performed better in Marvel where in due to our less than stellar play forced us to knock each other out. Joker managed to get 7th but in my opinion he should have placed much higher if he was playing the way he does in casuals. My AE performance was good. I played well enough to place 5th and was a single correct guess away from placing higher (Zangief!). This was my third tournament in Kansas City and I hope to make it out to much more. The highlight for me however was when we returned, when St. Louis top player Rex0r praised me on SRK. Gettin' dat respect!
In much bigger news for the Iowa scene, Brainshock Beta was successfully put on two weeks ago by Yink with a bit of help from yours truly. With almost 70 entrants for Brawl singles, some of the hypest doubles matches to ever be witnessed, and a myriad of top players in attendance, it was a day to remember-- and that is a massive understatement.
This weekend features a double dose of tournament action. Iowa's Monthly Series returns today with the final tournament before EVO, and Kuares is hosting his third Smash tournament the next day.
