The Home of Competitive Smash in RI

Integrity and Fair Play

Recently, allegations of hostility between group members came to our attention.
We can confirm, by investigating the historical activity of relevant accounts, that a substantial number of players took part in these activites
All together, the information we have collected and received makes us uncomfortable continuing any involvement with these individuals. Therefore we will be directing our event partners to not allow any of the following individuals’ participation in any capacity in Rhode IsLANders-sponsored events:
Kevin "archerassasin8" McCue
Daniel "MageDan" Bradley
Luke "Cubemaster7" Hamel
Will "paperpal" Newman
Professional players, their managers, and teams’ organization staff, should under no circumstances get extremly heated and take their anger out on other players. In 2015 we witnessed the explosive growth of Rhode IsLANders Smash Tournaments as a competitive eSport, and 2017 has already started strong. But as smash grows, it’s important to consider the substantial impact an individual professional smash player has on the health and stability of their sport. Performing before an audience of fans, they are ambassadors for their game – the strength of professional RI smash comes from the integrity of its players and teams.

Beggining immediatly, these players will be suspended indefinatly, the case will be reviewd in one year's time
