GENESIS is tournament series held annually in Northern California, primarily organized by Boback and members of the DBR crew. The tournament series began in 2009 and since 2016 has been the major Smash event near the beginning of the year or season (sans 2021 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). It is widely regarded as one of the premier Smash tournament series, especially following Apex's decline, and one of the largest Smash-centric events each year alongside Super Smash Con, regularly boasting over 2,000 entrants.
