ARMS Open Invitational
At Nintendo's E3 booth this year, an open invitational tournament will be held on 2017-06-14. Four of the competitors in the tournament will be Alex "CaliPower" Valle, Kelsy "SuperGirlKels" Medeiros, Daniel “Tafokints” Lee, and Marie-Laure “Kayane” Norindr, and the rest will be four qualifying E3 attendees who visit the Nintendo booth between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. PT on 2017-06-14. The prize will be a 2017 ARMS championship belt.

The four qualifying E3 attendees were SkywardWing, SpringGuy, GamingWithMe, and Zerk. Alex Valle, SpringyGuy, Tafokints, and Kayane lost in the quarterfinals, eliminating them at fifth place. SuperGirlKels and GamingWithMe lost in the semifinals going out at third place, notably making the E3 attendees advance further than most of the pro fighting game players. Zerk, using Twintelle, defeated SkywardWing, using Ribbon Girl, in the finals 3-1 on Sky Arena. Zerk was awarded the champion belt, but was challenged to play against ARMS producer Kosuke Yabuki in an exhibition match. Mr. Yabuki spectacularly won over Zerk 2-0.
