We've got a big SG today, as it's the 11th anniversary of Smashing Grounds! We've got a carpool from Maine, another from Worcester, and all of our regulars already confirmed. You won't wanna miss this one! Bracket starts at 7pm at Game Underground!

A huge congratulations to all of the New England players that made it onto PMRank 2024! We really showed our stuff and made it to a whopping TEN representatives (even if we had to steal essy to do so)! Here's to another great year of competition!

SG tonight! Also, I'd like to present an updated PR for 2024! This is done mostly in tiers, as we haven't tracked data in a formal manner (as well as many weeks being secondaries), but I still wanted to highlight some of our gamers from the past year. Thanks for a great 2024!
