WINNER! was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament series held in Tokyo, Japan. Weekday tournaments were held every other Monday at their most frequent with a 48-entrant cap, and larger "-Next-" tournaments were also held occasionally on weekends with a 96-entrant cap.
On March 27th, 2023, tournament director Matsuri announced that the series would hold its final weekday tournament in June, later announced to be on June 19th. He stated that the original plan of the series was to revive the offline scene in Kanto following the COVID-19 pandemic, and now that more offline tournaments have come back, the series was no longer as necessary.[1]
The series held one tournament during 2024 for Squad Strike. In December 2024, it was announced that the tournament venue, LFS Ikebukuro esports Arena, would be closing in early 2025.[2] The series held a final tournament in the venue's name, WINNER! -Looking For Squad-, on January 19th, 2025.
