Get On My Level 2019: Making Canadian Fighting Game History

Toronto’s largest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament will be making fighting game history once again this year at Get On My Level 2019 hosted by Even Matchup Gaming.

“Myself and the EMG team could not be happier with the growth GOML has seen year to year,” Joseph Cribari, the Director of Esports at Even Matchup Gaming, said. “We are especially excited to welcome the FGC and Smash Ultimate for the first time. We can't wait for what’s to come next week! Massive shoutouts to the community for rallying around the event and allowing us to continue to take GOML to the next level.”

Players who have been involved in Get On My Level early on include Mew2King, as well as MKLeo from Echo Fox.

“This is the most stacked year yet,” Cribari told ESTNN. “We have some of the best of the best competing in both Smash and the FGC including C9 Mang0, TSM Leffen, NRG Nairo, NRG HookGangGod and many more.”

Cribari added how this level of talent at the event is integral to Even Matchup Gaming’s success. “We're really looking forward to seeing who comes out on top in the bracket,” he said.

Time & Location

Get On My Level is scheduled to take place at the Exhibition Place on May 17, 18 and 19. This year, it will take place in the Better Living Centre, which has a dedicated space of over 50,000 sq ft for competitors and fans of fighting games. The address is 195 Princes’ Blvd, Toronto, ON M6K 3C3, Canada.

The location will also be a 24-hour venue, a first for Get On My Level and a chance for players and the community to game throughout the night. Since Get On My Level will also be partnering up with the WorldGaming Network's Northern Fights event for the first time ever, so attendees would get to see other games like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 on the grand stage.
