Govs Gaming Club E-Sports Coach

Hai! My name is Kupa'amekalanakila, or just Kupa'a for short. I'm a Sophomore and have been a member for just around a year and a half. Being the Super Smash Bros. Tournament Organizer, I'm most excited for people to be involved in tournaments, smash or otherwise. My favorite game is Deltarune, but Okami will be a childhood favorite. It would be nice to see new faces in the game room

For questions or to get involved, you can reach Kupa at kflint2@students.apsu.edu
