Super Smash Bros. has left a footprint in the gaming industry. A veteran caster who has been involved in the professional Smash scene, D'Ron "D1" Maingrette, stuck with the scene in its ups and downs. D1 spoke with Inven Global after his IGEC panel to talk about his thoughts on Smash, casting with Prog, and thoughts on the future of Smash.
Shroomed brought his Melee insights and experience to IGEC 2019 as a panelist of "The Smash Bros: How an Unsupported Nintendo Game Survived as an Esport." Shortly before his panel, Shroomed touched base with Nick Geracie on the state of the Smash community, the potential of Justin "Wizzrobe" Hallett being signed, and to weigh in on the "Melee vs. Super Smash Bros Ultimate" debate.
