In an effort to bring the gaming community together and increase recognition of the activity, a group of young Qatari men has organized a tournament dedicated to the popular video game Smash Bros.
The two-day tournament concludes today, and was dubbed HEAT in an allusion to the scorching summer during which the games took place, its founder Abdulrahman Al Mana said.
Al Mana, a 17-year-old student at Qatar Academy, has been an avid gamer all his life, and said that he organized the tournament to foster a sense of community among fans of video games.
Smash Bros is a Nintendo-created competitive fighting game in which players attempt to knock opponents out in a sudden death scenario, unlike in most fighting games, during which competitors gradually deplete their opponent’s life bars.
First released in 1999, the game has since seen numerous new versions and characters added to its roster, and has been featured in numerous high-profile gaming tournaments around the world.
