Hey everyone,
We're super excited today to talk about two big announcements for Rivals of Aether. For those who haven't heard, we're going to be at Genesis 4 (one of the best fighting game tournaments in the world) as an official side event. As a part of that, our compendium is now live at smash.gg/G4/Shop!
The compendium has 3 brand new pieces of Rivals swag - including the long awaited Genesis Forsburn skin. The best part about the compendium is that funds from any of your Rivals purchases can go towards the pot bonus for the Rivals Championship Series finals taking place there.

This leads right into our second announcement - that we’re kicking off that pot bonus by putting in $5,000 from the Rivals of Aether team! Our goal is to raise a total prize pool of $10k with the community's support.
We're hard at work to make Rivals at Genesis the BIGGEST Rivals event yet. If you like local events you definitely won't want to miss this one. We have some exciting plans there including the RCS finals, (that anyone can play in) as well as an unofficial doubles event, a Rivals meetup, and a huge announcement about the future of Rivals. Come hang out in the rivals discord at http://discord.me/roa if you have any questions or are looking for ways to make planning the trip easier!
