'''Shine''' | '''Shine''' was a national tournament series featuring ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', {{forwiiu}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' held in Boston, Massachusetts from 2016 to 2018 and Worcester, Massachusetts from 2019 to 2023. The series used a standard double elimination format for all four of its featured games. | ||
Shine was [[New England]]'s premier tournament series and its largest tournament series from 2016 to 2023, with total entrants count frequently surpassing 1,000 entrants. The series hosted major-level events for all its ''Smash'' events, with several of each game's best players always in attendance; as such, it was often considered the final major ''Smash'' event of the summer, as it takes place at the end of August, although later iterations were smaller for ''Smash 64'' and ''Ultimate''. | |||
Despite its success, the Shine tournaments were often run on a deficit. This, alongside the poor esports environment of the post-pandemic competitive scene, led to the decision to end the series after {{Trn|Shine 2023}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Shine_Series/status/1646645367428239360|title=Shine on their last event}}</ref> | |||
