Rochester Smash

The Finger Lakes’ Training Ground

About

With a massive number of events, we have something for everyone in Rochester.

Whether you are looking for a casual event with large attendance like you can find at The Prowling Grounds, an event with attendance from across the city like TMT, or an event with attendance from across the Upstate NY region like AGN/STR Ultimatum and Crouching Tigers, we have a big scene that enjoys playing the game together. We even have a Melee centered tournament series, Frame, which draws people from the various regions in Upstate NY.

During our peak season, you can typically find over 15 tournaments per month here!

With a continuous rotation of players due to the many colleges that collaborate with the community, consisting of Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Rochester, Nazareth College, and Monroe Community College, you can always find a place to feel welcome.

Everyone in the region works to help each other get better, and it is not uncommon to have people stay at a venue hours after they finish bracket just to hang out and get more friendlies in. And as a central location for many other sub-regions of Upstate, you never know who might show up!

Feel free to join us in the Upstate NY Discord. We always welcome new faces!
