It's Sunday, which means it's time for 
This is our 46th Smash Weekly(the number since we started counting) and our 12th Smash Weekly of 2018! As mentioned above, we've increased last years $20 Prize Pool to $35 reward to 1st -3rd place, as well as free sponsored money matches between competitors that don't place top 3.
We're happy to be a part of the Steem Block-chain on Steemit and Dlive where our contributions in the gaming community have enabled us to bring more rewards to our events, which has helped us to see an increase in talent at each event in 2018, and it's only building! :)
Top Tier Competitors Return to Smash Weekly
This week's tournament is sure to see a list of The world's best wifi warriors, as per usual, but we're also likely to be the host of some of Mexico's top Smash Bros Wii U players (online or off), with the likes of: Master Puffy, Yura, and hopefully Javi.
This week the MMG team put or DM game to the test, and were active connecting with top Smash Bros pros across the world to implement in our content, here on Steemit and our other social media channels. MMG has a goal in 2018 of not only becomming the destination for online tournaments and esports, but also to become the media hub of esports, bring the e-thletes to their fans like never before. We've been fortunate enough to host money of these players at our online events in the past, or players within their network, which is a connection that we will continue to foster.

Free - to - Play | Powered by Steem | 3 Event Rule
Join or live stream on either DLive or Twitch, and type "!sign-up" in the chat for a link to signup for today's free to play event. Today's event is free to play for anyone that has not already competed in 3 MMG events this year. After completing in 3 events a player must either create a steemit account and upvote MMG's event post related to the event, or make a donation of any amount to the stream(yes, it can be one penny, just support the community), or sub to MMG on Twitch.tv. Players that do not do one of the options mentioned above by their 4th event will be placed on probation. Players place on probation may still compete, but are subject to 50% of their winnings unless they: register for a steemit account, make a donation to MMG, or sub to MMG on Twitch.tv before the event. Failing to do so before the event will result in a 50% decrease in a players prize for that event(players may void this by registering for steemit after the event and showing proof).
MMG's Monero Funding Project
UPDATES: This week MMG is testing out a Monero Project on the bracket page of our website. We are looking for ways to keep events free while increasing the prize pool, and after going through the website stats of last week's event we found a total of over 24,000 page views...that's a lot. So, we're testing. We will not put your computer/cellphone at risk, and the script will be turned to a very low hashrate as not to bother users experience. While we do not foresee and issues with today's implementation we ask that you please provide feedback to MMG admins either here on steemit or via MMG's discord(link at the bottom of the screen).
Our best case scenario would be that the Monero is so successful we can use it as a redirect screen during the signup process and that be a users pay for the event. This would take no longer than 30 seconds and allow users to contribute to the MMG community at the cost of a small amount of electricity. We're excited about this update, and we hope you are too.
The easiest and quickest way to get a hold of an MMG admin is via discord. Send us a dm or @ us directly (@TheInfinite
and smurf[MMG]). We will of course, also reply to any comments made to this post or any other MMG posts on Steemit and Dlive.
