The “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024” is gearing up to be an exciting online showdown, hosted by Nintendo of Europe SE. This event will unfold in the vibrant universe of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on your Nintendo Switch console. Based in Frankfurt, Germany, Nintendo is thrilled to invite players from across various European nations to take part in this remarkable competition.
Mark your calendars for Friday, December 6th, when the action kicks off from 18:00 to 20:00 CET, or 17:00 to 19:00 UK time. This competition is open to residents in a wide swath of Europe, including countries like Austria, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, among others. However, due to geographical constraints, players from further afield locales like the Azores or Svalbard should note they might encounter connectivity issues.
Joining the fun is simple for those in participating regions. You’ll need a Nintendo Account set to one of the eligible countries, along with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership—be it paid or on a free trial. Make sure you’ve got Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ready to go on your Switch. To dive into the tourney, just head to the game’s main menu, select “Online,” and then “Official Tourney Qualifiers” to get started.
As the matches heat up, players will aim to boost their Tourney score, a special rating reflecting their performance against competitors. This score dynamically changes based on match outcomes and the skill level of opponents. Players can track their progress at any time during the competition.
Players have the chance to participate in unlimited matches to climb the leaderboard with their Tourney score counting towards their standing, even if matches conclude after the event window closes.
For those who emerge at the top—specifically, the ten players with the highest Tourney scores—a reward of 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points awaits. Meanwhile, the rest of the top 100 boasting stellar scores will receive 1,000 Gold Points each. However, competitors must maintain their country setting within the accepted regions throughout the event to avoid disqualification. Unsporting activities such as cheats, manipulation, or bug exploitation will lead to disqualification and potentially penalize their Nintendo Account.
These fantastic prizes cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash. Winners can expect their Gold Points to be meticulously delivered to their Nintendo Accounts within two weeks after the event wraps up, and they can keep track of the deposit by checking their My Nintendo Point Log.
As always, the dedication to fair play and seamless participation is backed by the Nintendo Account Agreement and My Nintendo Rewards Programme terms. For further details, consult the Nintendo Account Privacy Policy.
Here’s wishing every participant the best of luck in this exciting competition! Keep smashing and remember, it’s more than just a game; it’s where legends are made.
