Deadly Alliance (DA) is a professional Smash Bros. team founded by Wes in 2002 and currently representing the Smash division of the company Empire Arcadia (EMP). Before 2015, Smash players represented Empire Arcadia directly and as of today, some players refers to the team as Deadly Alliance Empire Arcadia (DA EMP).
Originally, Deadly Alliance was a Smash Crew consisting of Wes, HellFire, Kamaal and KillaOR. Centered primarily in New York, the group was known for pioneering the meta games of certain characters such as Link, Samus, Luigi, Mr. Game & Watch, Falco, and Peach. This helped establish certain techniques like Samus's super wavedash and pivoting, also known as the DA Dash.
In 2005, Wes met with Triforce (CEO and founder of Empire Arcadia) at Neutral Grounds in Manhattan. Wes agreed to have Deadly Alliance represent Empire Arcadia as the official Smash Bros. competitive gaming division. Now representing Empire Arcadia, Deadly Alliance has won a number of competitions which were eventually documented and certified by Guinness World Record via Twitter[1] and Facebook[2], naming Empire Arcadia as the most documented tournament winning team in competitive gaming. Several members of DA created a non-profit community service organization called SOS Gamers.
As Empire Arcadia, Deadly Alliance sponsored numerous famous players over the years, including Mew2King, Armada, PC Chris, Jtails and DKwill as well as several FGC players such as Jwong. Deadly Alliance is still competing as of today, but as a crew rather than as a sponsor. Deadly Alliance is one of the oldest crews involved in Smash, running for 18 years without interruption.
