Smash major Genesis 6 will be taking place in Oakland. The event will take place from February 1st to February 3rd and will take place in the Paramount Theater. 

Genesis 6 will be the first supermajor to feature Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in a competitive setting. Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros., Rivals of Aether, and Splatoon 2 will also be featured, with all but the latter boasting both singles and doubles brackets.

Melee singles. Cloud9's Joseph "Mang0" Marquez, Panda Gaming's Justin "Plup" McGrath TSM's William "Leffen" Hjelte, Team Liquid's Juan "Hungrybox" Debeidma, and Echo Fox's Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman will also be entering.
