Held in November 2022 at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta, GA, the BCX World Championship is the 7th annual event of its kind. It is also the biggest Brawlhalla esports tournament ever, and the first open, in-person event with attendees since 2019. Developed by Atlanta-based Blue Mammoth Games and published by Ubisoft, Brawlhalla is an immensely popular free platform fighting game with over 80 million players worldwide. Beyond the competition itself and the opportunity for fans to congregate and meet other like-minded individuals, the event was a full expo featuring a variety of activities and series of developer panels throughout the 3-day event.

Coordinating the various systems and ensuring they're working correctly and set up clearly requires a lot of hands, brains, and voices, Roberts notes, adding that the amount of traffic and conversation flow for an event like this goes well beyond everybody taking orders. There's a lot of two-way traffic in the communication workflow, so we always bring in a comms specialist to put the puzzle pieces together. In this case, that was Clear-Com Product Manager Frank Linton, who worked closely with Skillshot on the system design and wa
