August 2016 Review

August 2016 is over! This past month was a big milestone for Source Gaming! We made it through two years, and to celebrate we organized interviews with three of the Smash announcers! The livestream was also a lot of fun, and I hope to set up more in the future. If you haven’t read it, June 2016 Review is here.
