The Melee season starts here.

As one of the premier Super Smash Bros. tournaments of the year, not only is Genesis 7 the second S-Tier event for Ultimate but also the official start of the 2020 Melee season, too.

With the new rankings out for both games and almost every top player in attendance, this weekend is going to be the first full test to see who can stand atop the ladder heading into February.
