In the world of competitive gaming, the “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024” stands out as a thrilling showcase. This online event takes place within the beloved Nintendo Switch game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and it’s brought to life by Nintendo of Europe SE, based in Frankfurt, Germany.
Now, let’s talk about the event’s timing and who can join in on the fun. Mark your calendars for Friday, December 6th, when the challenge kicks off from 6 PM to 8 PM CET, which is 5 PM to 7 PM for those in the UK. This exciting competition is open to gamers residing in a long list of countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and more. However, do note that players from regions far from central Europe, like the Azores or the Svalbard archipelago, might face challenges joining the fray.
If you’re eager to participate, here’s what you need to know. Your Nintendo Account must be set to one of the listed countries and be paired with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve got a paid plan or just a trial. Access to the game on Nintendo Switch is a must, as is completing at least one tourney match using your account. Getting started is simple—navigate through the game’s main menu and select “Online,” then head to “Official Tourney Qualifiers.”
As for scoring, the coveted Tourney score is your ticket to success, exclusive to these special events. Your score is a testament to your skill, influenced by match outcomes and the skill level of your opponents. You can keep tabs on your score anytime during the event, striving to reach the pinnacle. With limitless matches available, your score can only go up, as even games that start before the clock ticks off but end past the deadline count toward your score.
So, what’s up for grabs? The top 10 players, those with extraordinary Tourney scores, will each earn 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points. The next 90 high scorers aren’t left out either, each snagging 1,000 points. Be cautious though—switching your account to a country not on the participant list, or engaging in dishonest play, like exploiting bugs, will lead to disqualification. Prizes here are strictly non-transferable—no cash or alternative prizes.
