Team Liquid’s Hungrybox is taking his online Smash Ultimate Coinbox series offline with The Coinbox IRL invitational. Here’s everything you need to know about the event and how to tune in.
The top competitors from The Coinbox and some handpicked Smash stars will gather in person on December 17 for an invitational tournament to round out the year.
Numerous Smash icons such as Watch The Throne champion FaZe Sparg0, Sonix, Riddles, Sisqui, Maister and Dabuz are scheduled to compete with four more to be decided via a last-chance qualifier.
With the year winding down, this will likely be the last big event for many of these players. For Sparg0 and Sonix, this may be the tournament that decides who the best in North America is as the two rivals have been going back and forth for a while now.

At Watch The Throne, Sparg0 never dropped a game to Sonix by busting out his Cloud over the Aegis, dismantling the Port Priority champ’s Sonic in Winners Finals and Grands. Will the Luminosity star be able to adapt this time and take down his nemesis?
Elsewhere, the LCQ features some starstudded talent as well with Zomba, Lima, Wrath, Chase and more looking to qualify for the main event.
