South America updates

In addition, those in charge cancelled the in-person Regional Finals for South America due to the on-going pandemic. The team behind the tournament stated it was a difficult decision because of the state of the pandemic in South American locations.

“It could be a few more months before we could host the Regional Final in-person (and even then, it would not be guaranteed),” the announcement said. “This would also leave very little time for the winners to obtain their Visas (or E.S.T.A.) for the Championships.”

The South America Ultimate Regional Finals will be hosted online on Aug. 1. The top players will duke it out against each other for a spot in the Smash World Tour 2021 Finals. According to the tournament page, fans can watch the action on the VGBootCamp Twitch channel.

Meanwhile, the Melee Panel chose Rodrigo “HP” Hinojosa and Vicente “Chape” Sánchez to advance to the Smash World Tour Championships.
