Misfits sign Smash player Larry Lurr

MCV Staff 16th January 2017 People

Misfits is at it again, this time picking up Smash 4 player Larry ‘Larry Lurr’ Holland. 

Larry Lurr is one of the best Smash 4 players in the world and currently sits inside the top 10. He had multiple top three finishes in 2016 and is expected to continue his success in 2017. 

He will now play under the Misfits banner, and will make his debut for the org at Genesis 4 next week. 

Lurr joins Super Smash Bros. Melee player Ryan "The Moon" Coker-Welch in the organisations fighting game division, which will probably continue to expand if the recent acquisition spree from Misfits continues. 

"I got put into contact with Ben [Spoont], the CEO of Misfits,” said Larry Lurr when speaking to ESPN. “He seems like a very driven individual and I think it shows through the recent success of the team."

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
