Over the course of 2019, Era began to expand the amount, and variety, of the tournaments she hosted. In February, she began hosting [[Default Derby]], a default ARM only event. Despite not reaching Champions of the Era level of popularity, Default Derby still managed to engage players with a format that hadn't been widely utilized for almost two years. She also ran the North American bracket for the [[FellowsTV Open Circuit 3]]. Later in the year, in August, Era began running [[Temple Tantrum]], a series that utilized the "Backroom" set of stages. This series was created as a result of complaints with the Champions of the Era stages, as it did not use the Backroom's list. Throughout the year, Era also ran numerous smaller series and pop-up events, including one titled Midnight Madness. In late 2019, Era also joined the team Casual Crew as an ARMS player. | Over the course of 2019, Era began to expand the amount, and variety, of the tournaments she hosted.

In 2020, Era expanded her events even further by creating [[Champions of the Erapean Union]], a European region locked tournament series, and Outlaw Skirmish, an event utilizing a stage list consisting of typically banned competitive stages. During the early part of the year, Era also began helping out Casual ARMS with their events Casual Scramble and Casual Clash. She also considered retiring from TOing due to low entrance numbers in her events, but she continued to run events leading up to the ARMS related announcements featured in a [[Nintendo Direct|Nintendo Direct Mini]] on March 26th. This reinvigorated many players which allowed an increase in numbers as well as new events. In late March, she assisted in running the ARMS tournament in [[Quarantined Rapport]] and proceeded to run a small series of events utilizing the same rule set as the upcoming official [[Nintendo]] event, the [[ARMS North American Online Open (April 2020)|ARMS North American Online Open]], to allow players to get practice with the unique rules. In April, she was recommended unanimously, by the tournament's casters, to help run the bracket for said event.

Era, alongside a team from Battlefy, orchestrated the 880 player event with great success which gave her the ethos to possibly run other official events in the future. Era returned to help out with [[Quarantined Rapport 2]] in June of 2020. Sometime later that Summer, she also parted ways with Casual Crew which saw her depart as a tournament organizer for Casual ARMS events. On July 27th, Nintendo announced the [[ARMS North American Open (August 2020)]] with Era, shortly thereafter, being asked to return to assist in running the bracket for the event. Similarly to the Open in April, she once again ran numerous practice events throughout the week prior to the tournament. | ||
