New England Melee

Congratulations to top 8 of New England Star League 2026 Finals! ⭐️

The New England Star League 2026 Finals are finally here! This weekend, 24 players that qualified through grueling netplay brackets between January-June will compete in our championship bracket! Find all our Stars and Brackets here: start.gg/nesl

Correction: Golden’s streak was actually a retro-streak (similar to SloX) and should be at 5. If him and SloX make NEPR in the current Summer season, they will achieve a second, ongoing, streak.

Longest NEPR streaks ALL TIME (1/2) 1st. Kalvar (!) - 16🥇 2nd. bonfire10 (!) & SloX - 9🥈 3rd. lint - 8🥉 4th. Electroman (!), Joyboy, Thumbs, & Younger - 7 5th. Arty (!), dudutsai, glock in my toyota (!), & Golden (!) - 6

Today we can announce the full slate of Roots: Atlantic Melee League’s first split! We have two flagship events for you this weekend: Garden Brawl in Tristate and Krewe 2 in Southeast.

Very happy with how this Mario Kart 64 inspired graphic came out☺️

As such, some players may have shorter streaks than their skill reflected at the time and others, such as InfiniteNumbers, ZoSo, and others, do not appear on the list at all

Notes: - A streak is defined as 3 or more NEPR placement in a row - HM on an NEPR does not count towards the streak - A (!) indicates that the player’s streak is ongoing - Between 2008 and the “Fall and Winter 2016” PR season, New England did not have proper panel rankings (1/2)

Inspired by @EggdogEsports and their SSBMRank Survey, I decided to have some fun and surveyed all NEPR Summer 2025 & Winter 2026 ballot players! We asked a wide range of questions, including many of the same ones Eggdog had with some extras - check it out below⬇️

Roots is a grassroots organization built by, and for, the people of our community. These people are the heart of what makes Melee Melee and what makes Roots Roots. Listen to some of our organizers talk about the ambitious project we're building here.

Welcome to Roots: Atlantic Melee League! Our season is made up of 15 flagship events through 2026, starting with Patchwork in Raleigh, NC. Players earn points to climb the leaderboards and qualify for a spot in a finale event in Richmond, VA, January 2027!

- This is the first time FantasticDeli has made the NHPR graphic, congrats to him! - Spots 1 & 2, 6 & 7, and 9 & 10 were all decided by 1 vote

- Bonfire10 takes back the NH crown as the Queen of the North - Kuro takes over the lower end of the PR, debuting in his first season as a New Hampshire Warrior
