"Alright guys, this award is for someone who's been there for me for years. He's done a lot for this community since way back together in Tri-State, he's been recording matches, he's been doing commentary with me since way back when we had no filter and we decided we wanted to change the game, trying to push those games towards a more professional level.



And thanks to everybody who's recognizing the Smash community, we've taken big leaps, and we've changed for the better - we're taken more seriously, and of course, all this couldn't be done without Prog."​

Wynton "Prog" Smith earned the Cannon Award at Evo 2014 for his work with the Smash community. Prog announced this summer that commentating Evo 2014 would be his last tournament due to health reasons and the strain that traveling places on him. His work in commentary and in leading the community is unmatched and there will be a tough void to fill in his absence. This award comes on the heels of Apex 2014 where Prog took home the Community Leadership Award. Always the charismatic, positive person, Prog saw the Smash community through the dark times when Nintendo nearly banned the game from Evo 2013. It is telling that just a year later, Evo 2014 was sponsored by Nintendo and had a special message from NOA President, Reggie.Before the presentation, D1 had a few words to introduce Prog:For all his contributions to the Smash community, Smashboards sends a sincere thank you and wishes Prog the best going forward. If Prog made an impact on your Smash career/life please leave a comment here so that it may live forever.
