Despite these problems, the tournament venue had power and 42 players attended the event, including members of Deadly Alliance that came down from New York for the event. DCSS #2 added a doubles competition, which continued in east coast tradition by being 5 stock and having team attack turned off. Like the previous DCSS event, players were only allowed one character for the tournaments, although they could have a different character for teams and singles. | ||
H2YL and DA split the top four singles spots at this event, with Azen taking first place with Captain Falcon and winning an XBox. Wes took second place with Samus, winning a 13inch color television while his teammate Kamaal took third place using Luigi and won a new wavebird. ChuDat took fourth place using the Ice Climbers under some controversy over the use of Sudden Death to resolve a tie in a semi-final match against [[Wes]]. In teams, Azen and Anden took first place, with ChuDat and [[Jtanic]] taking second. | H2YL and DA split the top four singles spots at this event, with Azen taking first place with Captain Falcon and winning an XBox.

There was also a provided lunch, sponsored by the church and a local band that came to play for the competitors before the finals. There were also a series of B-prizes given away, such as an award for the lowest-finishing Pokemon character user and a prize for the first person to stand up on a chair. The announcement of these b-prizes kept the crowd laughing and added to the laid back atmosphere of the event. | ||

Attempting to break away from the increasingly serious nature of Smash tournaments, the remaining members of FLW put on their final tournament on September 10th, 2005 under the title No Purchase Necessary. While not technically named a DCSS event, this tournament was held by the same crew, in the same location and under the same spirit of fun the DCSS series was founded on. The event had no entry fees and no prizes, with the only expense to the gamers being a charge if they wanted to share in the pizza and soda during lunch the day of the event. | Attempting to break away from the increasingly serious nature of Smash tournaments, the remaining members of FLW put on their final tournament on September 10th, 2005 under the title No Purchase Necessary.
