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. | 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.

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. On August 30th, Era placed 2nd in a unique tag team event titled Worst in the World: Tag Team Chumps Edition, with [[Grimwood]] as her partner. On September 26th, after being rescheduled from August 19th, Era took part in an ''ARMS'' first-to-ten against fellow tournament organizer [[Frosty]] in which she won 10-8. The event was preceded with back and forth banter between the two players on Twitter throughout numerous threads. Later that year in October, Era was once again brought in to assist with an official Nintendo event, the [[ARMS North American Open (October 2020)]]. Unlike the previous Opens in the year, she did not run practice tournaments prior to the event due to timing issues as well as the ladder format not being optimal to utilize with a smaller amount of entrants. | 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.
