Orion Allman (left), Webster University senior, plays at the Saint Louis University (SLU) weekly Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament on Wednesday, Nov. 16, against Emerson Stephens, St. Louis esports player. Allman enjoys playing competitively and likes the frequency of competitive events near by him at locations such as SLU. Simply having the ability to consistently go up against players that are either your skill level or better will absolutely lend itself to improvement across the board, Allman said. Tournaments being more accessible will allow more people to play, making the variety of players youll go up against increase as a result. I think theres tons of benefits for everyone involved.
