Chris Ogle – the co-founder of Smash. gg – shared the news on Medium and thanked Microsoft and Xbox for their support. He also noted that the site will continue with members of the original team Smash. gg along “grassroots tournament organizers and engineers who are passionate about the platform for the communities we support. “

In addition to making that change for the sustainability of the business, Start.gg will be upgrading its user interface and tournament support.
