Man I’m genuinely so proud of what we’ve accomplished with Lucky 7s I wrote this loose project plan for the project in late 2023. We’ve always believed that the community needed a central, trusted group that can execute in all areas: Events, technology, player sponsorships, and soon: content. A group that is independent, grassroots, and passionate about re-investing its success back into the scene. The economics change when you have a group who truly enjoys this work and has no investors to answer to. The community does have money they want to spend, and when we learn there’s a group who can be trusted to multiply that value back into the scene, I do think we can become the first long term sustainable Melee org with S tier execution in all categories that can exist as a strong backbone for the scene for the good times and bad. Thank you to everybody who’s trusted us and supported us, I don’t take the responsibility lightly. The community has been burnt so many times. From early day discussions with @0degreewaveland and us chatting in 2022 about feeling we could do it, but thinking the barriers were too tall to climb and then @plushVG joining the team before we even really got started. To @spotdodge_shine and @ossify37 letting us kick off the org by sending them to Genesis X and @Freezus304 being our first full time sponsored player. To all of the Steven’s Melee supporting our grand efforts and participating in Breakfast’s early rendition Full House tournaments and @nycmelee for being such a supporting and innovative scene. To the players from Full House 2025 who trusted a bunch no names to invite them to a mansion and host and intimate wildly ambitious invitational for a weekend @iBDWSSBM @moky_dokie @LiquidHbox @TempoAxe @ZainNaghmi @C9Mang0 @LilTrickshot @n0ned @TrifSmash @SaltSSB @s00nsay @jakedirado @arJunebug @AuraSSBM @KrudoKyle and especially @NotAklo and @DarkGenex for believing in us from the start and putting their neck on the line vouching for our legitimacy. And of course, to @g0shine @ssbm_Horde @findthatyeti_ @beta @josh_fti for being so so essential to making the event happen. To all the fresh faces and VIPs and commentators @ViciousVish @epengu @jackzilla (and so many more) And to the latest era of signing @s00nsay @Rap1238727 @kurothearbiter and our Lucky Stats users, subscribers, and all the devs who came before to build the foundations that make it all possible @Fizzi36 @UnclePunch_ @rwing_aitch @jmlee337 @startgg @iphone194629174 All these tags are engagement bait as fuck but I truly appreciate all the collaboration over the years. Thank you. We have so much more planned and excited to continue this journey with yall. Long live Lucky 7s :)
