we also hosted Cirque 3 not too long ago, so I'm gonna leave the old description for the tournament in the description so the algorithm gets lit for us

That read at the last stock, holy guacamoly, that was ice-cold.

[@extonjonas6820]

He would have to fight me irl because I know he did not consent to him putting his hands on his soul like that

[@VanirEnde]

And Goblin with the worst DI ever, he probably gave up. I dont blame him, after that read I would just stand up and leave

[@aninnocentbystander119]

He opened his third eye and read Goblin's soul

[@andy6380]

Goblins playing smash while Esam is playing the piano comment was 😂

[@swordre5805]

Didn't realize how bald ESAM really is.

[@willywakka7830]

Great set. First game was a nail biter then it ended with a solid read

[@sebaschan-uwu]

It was a pillow biter and sheet gripper

[@TheOrlandoGG]

COMMENT OF THE WEEK LMFAO

[@KoreyStanford-bd8kd]

I stopped playing smash a couple years ago and am just now getting back into it and it is nice coming back to esam still thunder bolting the crap out of people.

[@fupalover]

4:04 i thought pika was good at edgeguarding?

[@RodExe]

That last read was insaaane

[@friendlyolbum]

How there are no top 20 pika reps is astounding to me

[@TheOrlandoGG]

be the change you wish to see in the world 💛

[@themetalmastah666]

Early ultimate Esam was top 20. Right now Shinymark is arguably top 20..if only he competed on more majors. He did win a big tournament recently over Shadic who will be top 10 or even top 5 this season

[@benross9174]

Bad airspeed, cant trade and gets outranged. Like he’s good but very overrated. The time out strats Shiny has been working out seems good though

[@randompianist8359]

@@benross9174 yh imo pika is still easily top 10 but needs a player like sonix who is willing to go to timeout every game. if esam could play defensive he would be so much better

[@DGSnowolf]

Yeah pika is busted at hit & run. Problem with ESAM is he plays him like a mix-up or even rushdown sometimes.

[@uchihaclan77]

Aaron and BMP look alike like Esam and goblin today

[@YeastCake]

And what’s really scary is how similar their play styles are

[@ZER0O9]

2:58 does roy's up B have armor or somethin?

[@Kradrice]

Ya

[@ZER0O9]

@@Kradrice neat, never noticed that.

[@RTHbeto27]

@@ZER0O9 only when you do it from the ground tho

[@Turnpost2552]

3:50 was actually preety cool

[@asiandude918]

BUSTED 🎉

[@sidequest1131]

Pikachu animation 9:53 lol

[@C-Vite]

Esam’s Up-B tech is wild. How does he go straight up twice?

[@TheOrlandoGG]

he cheats

[@BiG_SorD]

Can someone explain what controller pad esam is using, I’ve seen some Kazuya player use the same thing

[@sebbytron]

Smashbox I believe

[@Dribin]

Spoiler warning That comback goblin had game two was amazing, but sadly game one I feel like he gave Esam the win with that optimistic up-b, it was down to the wire and risked it all. Could of possibly won this set against one of Roy's worst match-ups.

[@rainerhaas180]

Esam really trying to lose

[@Shikari-shiro888]

lol what a game 1

[@luismise5780]

Esam

[@Godlysound]

Production L

[@xAbsolution1]

Ban b0x controllers

[@RichieRage]

Esam still virtue signaling with that mask of his? 😅

[@sef0917]

Lmaoooo it must be soo tiring for him by now to keep this persona up

[@zangrixguerra8004]

Why does he do it?

[@trombonegamer14]

If you watch events in other countries, plenty of players are wearing masks. I'm really not sure why Americans decided to make this a culture war issue

[@RichieRage]

@trombonegamer14 this is america lol I don't care about other countries, plus esam can't pass as asian either lol stop defending him weirdo

[@TheOrlandoGG]

what is yall yappin for god bless
