Seeing a lot of good feedback on the @ESPN_Esports calendar – thanks! We'll be adding more games and events soon, including Smash!

If you haven’t heard, ESPN has just recently announced that they will be going all out in terms of esport coverage on their website.

From live streaming events to now having it’s own tab, E-sports has grown at an amazing rate these last few years. Even cooler is that Nintendo has also grown more friendly with the E-sports crowd to where they’re the main sponsor for Smash Bros at most tournaments now. Speaking of which, Editor of ESPN E-sports Darin has announced that the site will also be covering the beloved nintendo fighting series. This is great for the Smash community seeing as how Nintendo was never really fond of them near the start. Are you excited for the news? What other games do you think they should cover? Let us know in the comments below!
