Watch the Throne 2023 – Huge Smash Event This Weekend

Smash Bros hasn’t had an overarching circuit about to wrap up this year, but with big events like Watch the Throne 2023, there are still tons to look forward to. It’s maybe our biggest competition in December, with slots for Genesis up for grabs. How will the fighting game esports event work though?

Watch the Throne 2023 will see a lot of the best Smash Bros players showing up. Eight individuals were directly invited, including MKLeo and Sparg0. We’ll see these and 8 more players competing, in a Summit style format. This is how the tournament will work.

Watch the Throne 2023

Watch the Throne 2023 is one of our final Smash tournaments in 2023 and it fittingly has an expanded format compared to most majors. It’s a tournament limited to 16 players, but essentially cut down to the top Smash players of the year. Out of those competing, 8 came directly from invites. Another three were voted on during the crowdfunding for the tournament. Five more came through placing highly at other tournaments like Super Smash Con.

What kind of format is the tournament starting up with? It first features a traditional Group Stage, before a Gauntlet Stage, and finally the actual bracket. It’s a long journey for a 16-person tournament, but we’ll be able to see each of these top players earn their slot in the grand finale.

Players Attending

Who are the players competing at Watch the Throne? Pulling in the top ranking names from tournaments earlier in the year is enduring we’re getting a great line-up for this event. These are the players attending.

That’s how the Watch the Throne 2023 tournament is going to workw. There’s an official stream running too, if you want to see how one of the biggest events for December goes down.
