“Events like Get On My Level showcase the purest form of community, where gamers come together for the sheer love of the game rather than enormous prize pools,” commented Alex Gonzalez, SVP of Talent & Gaming at Enthusiast Gaming. “The Super Smash Bros community continues to prove itself as one of the most passionate and engaged fanbases in the world of gaming and esports, and Luminosity has established itself as a cornerstone of that community through its events like Get On My Level and the Luminosity Makes Moves series, its community staple assets like LumiRank and the Luminosity Smash YouTube channel, and its stable of top-tier Smash competitors like MkLeo and Tweek, which not only lend considerable authenticity and presence to the Luminosity brand in Smash, but provide unparalleled access to the community for sponsorships and incremental value creation.”
