'''Press Start''' was a [[list of national tournaments|national tournament]] held at UC Irvine, featuring popular PC games such as League of Legends and Dota 2 as well as singles and doubles for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The events pools had numerous upsets such as {{Sm|Jace}} upsetting {{Sm|SFAT}} and {{Sm|HugS}} upsetting {{Sm|Leffen}}. This events bracket was rather interesting because {{Sm|Mango}} who was carpooling with {{Sm|Hax}} and {{Sm|S2J}} and they arrived at the tournament 45 minutes late resulting in a DQ from the first round of winners bracket for all three of them. Resulting in {{Sm|Mango}} losing to {{Sm|A Rookie}}, {{Sm|Hax}} losing to a relatively obscure smasher named {{Sm|Reason}} and {{Sm|S2J}} losing to {{Sm|Tafokints}}. This resulted in the latest edition of "tryhard {{Sm|Mango}}" since [[EVO 2013]] running over: {{Sm|Jace}}, {{Sm|Westballz}}, {{Sm|Hax}}, {{Sm|Leffen}}, {{Sm|Shroomed}}, {{Sm|Lucky}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Axe}} and {{Sm|Fly Amanita}} for two sets. Of all of those sets {{Sm|Mango}} only lost a game to {{Sm|Hax}}, {{Sm|Lucky}} and {{Sm|Axe}}. The tournament was also notable in that none of [[The Five Gods]] and {{Sm|Leffen}} made it to the winner's side of Top 8 and {{Sm|Leffen}} not at all.
