Help us make FightRise history and dreams come true!

http://FightRise.com and the FightRise Discord community grew from a principal that fighting games are best enjoyed with a community behind you. The goal is self improvement and motivation, both through the game and life, to ultimately achieve a level of skill that you could not have imagined on your own.

Community member Jared Hubbard, a.k.a. Lazyboredom, embodies so much of what we strive to achieve. He works hard in the game with a positive self efacing attitude yet showcases a level of skill not matched by many. He also makes himself accessible to the community and events as much as he can despite a busy schedule. When we learned he had this dream to walk out into the ring at C.E.O. Top 8 this summer, we felt confident the FightRise family could band together to make it happen!

Meet FightRise|Lazyboredom:

"Hi everyone, my name is Jared and my gamer tag has always been Lazyboredom! I'm a native of North Carolina and have competed in a number of fighting games over the years but had the most success with Smash 4 and Smash Ultimate, being top 10 Power Ranked(PR) in the state for both.

For Smash, I traveled to many state tournaments as a top 10 PR player consistently achieving top 8 results. Despite not having many opportunities to travel out of state I managed to hold my own against some of the best Smash players in the world.

Prior to Street Fighter 6 I also competed in Tekken 7, Strive, and BB:Crosstag where I achieved a ranking of top 20 in the world.

When Street Fighter 6 launched I fell in love with the game. I didn't know much about the Street Fighter series but I've spent a lot of time studying and learning the game to the point of reaching Legend ranked in multiple phases and have gotten wins against great players like Punk, Fatality, JB, and Idom at the Tampa Never Sleeps(TNS) online weeklies. More recently at offline events I placed 2nd at "Beast in the East VI" and won 1st place at "Rock the Winds 2" just a few weeks ago.

I've always wanted the opportunity to compete at C.E.O. and walking out into that wrestling ring has been a dream of mine for years! The cost and travel has always been a challenge so having this opportunity means so much to me. I hope to represent the FightRise community the only way I can, by working and training hard to do my best to make you all proud!"

Where your help is going:

We worked with Lazyboredom to do our best to budget this 5 day trip to Daytona as reasonably and affordably as possible. This is how we see it breaking down.

$115 - C.E.O. Registration and Street Fighter 6 Tournament Entry Fees
$450 - Hotel costs for duration of the event
TOTAL: $565

↑ ↑ $565 Minimum goal to send Lazyboredom to C.E.O. to rep a FightRise community sponsorship ↑ ↑

$80 - FightRise branded jersey/apparel with donor and sponsor names printed
$100 - Minimum food costs at the event (making every breakfast bagel count!)
$125 - Cost to travel from North Carolina to attend C.E.O.
TOTAL: $870

↑ ↑ $870 Stretch goals to make it easier/stress-free for Lazyboredom to attend and rep in style ↑ ↑

$130 - 2 x Metafy training sessions with legendary Marisa player and coach 801Strider
GRAND TOTAL: $1000

↑ ↑ $1000 Final Stretch goal to help Lazyboredom get that extra edge to win! ↑ ↑

With your contributions Lazyboredom will be able to travel to Daytona and don the FightRise sponsor tag in the bracket and, if we reach that goal, wear a jersey that shows off the community that supported him. We plan to print every donor's name on the jersey and the top donor(s) will definitely be highlighted!

What's in it for you?

We've got some cool incentives that we're raffling off that you can take part in!

A lightly used Razer Kitsune leverless controller!

- This premium PS5 leverless controller was used for less than 2 weeks and is practically new and will be shipped in its original box. There's a chance it can be yours when we spin a wheel to randomly choose a winner amongst the raffle ticket holders at our Urge to Fight 7 streaming event! Winners will be contacted via Discord. Note: If you live outside of the lower 48 United States you will be asked to cover shipping costs.
A Medium sized Displate of your choice from http://displate.com !

- These metal posters are incredibly unique and will look great on your wall. The website has hundreds of designs to choose from including Street Fighter 6 designs! We will actually be raffling TWO of these Displate gift cards to all raffle ticket holders at our Urge to Fight 7 streaming event! Winners will be contacted via Discord.

In addition to the above incentives, if you're a Marisa main, you can purchase a 1 hour, one on one, training session with Lazyboredom himself to help up your game. Every skill level could benefit from this session and Lazyboredom is a great coach himself!

At the end of the day, this is a donation. There's no guarantee that Lazyboredom will make it to Top 8, but without this help he wouldn't even be able to TRY. We know not everyone is in a position to give, but if you are able, know that your contribution is helping a dream come true and making an impact in someone's life in this community.

Go FightRise!

Sponsor Lazyboredom for C.E.O. 2024!

Make this FightRiser's dream a reality!
