The Cheese is back for its first NCS Minor tournament yet this month! On Saturday, April 20th, Localhost Philly will host Cheesadelphia 9, and it will be a return to Cheesadelphia roots. We’re inviting all you StarCraft II players down to compete for your share of the $2,500 prize pot.

Go For Broke, the monthly FGC tournament, is on the schedule again for April, and so is our Overwatch Bootcamp. Our bootcamps are excellent chances to hone your skills while you learn tips and tricks from some of the best coaches around. This month, it’s JSR, Coach of the OW Contenders Team, Bermuda.

You’ve come to love them, so we keep bringing them back — FGC Training Grounds and Smash City are definitely on the calendar for April. Both events will be going down on Wednesday, April 3rd, and then every other week after that so keep an eye on the Localhost Philly website and Lobby.gg for dates and registration details.

We meet a ton of talented players every time we have an FGC event, from our FGC Training Grounds to Go For Broke. So, we’re inviting all the Tekken players in the area down to hang out and play a few rounds on Friday, April 19th for Iron Phist.

Smashdown, the NCS Minor for Smash Ultimate, is circling back on April 27th. The last time we hosted Smashdown, we saw players pouring in from surrounding states for their shot at the prize pot. We expect an even bigger turnout from this amazing community for our second Smashdown happening at the end of this month.

Apex: Legends is taking off, and we’re riding that wave! If you haven’t had a chance to drop in that the hottest BR game out there, now is a perfect chance.

Localhost Denver has two NCS Academy | Apex: Legends tournaments in April, one on the 13th and one happening on the 27th.

On top of Apex, we’re bringing back the regulars. Every Friday in April, you’ll see tournaments for both Fortnite and Smash Ultimate. Check out Lobby.gg for recurring event details.
