Leo beating both ShinyMark and Gluto was so hype! Kola winning the whole thing is fire 🔥! ...but Sparg0 and Sonix having to play each other for LAST was the craziest thing about this tournament 💀

[@Jero1020]

Somehow this is a shorter but better summary

[@Literally_who8965]

Fun fact: Kola won this tournament with an upset factor of 19!? And only lost to Sparg0 and Sonic the top 2 seeds of the event. Absolutely Goated run

[@sdtrawick]

Kola was ranked 15th out of 16 players and won the whole thing.

I appreciate the replay of the venue as the finals ended. Didn't see that shot during the stream, but it's interesting to see the pop-offs of the other players! Also, good job with the tournament recap! 😊

[@markthepro4818]

Leo finally beating gluto and shinymark was hype to watch. The Japan buff is real.

[@revengeoftheshreks1860]

Too bad he got the losing to Zomba debuff right after. MickyLeo is back

[@Printerpenguin]

@@revengeoftheshreks1860maybe he wasn't able to practice with MKbigboss as frequently with all the weekly's he was attending in Japan (/j). But honestly I think if Leo keeps practicing the MK - ROB MU he can beat Zomba with MK (if you hit all your ladders and bridges meta knight can kinda just combo ROB to death at 30% every stock, !BONK had some pretty dominant sets vs Zomba back when he was the best MK player)

[@WilliamL583]

@@revengeoftheshreks1860I haven’t seen a single person upset about that loss. Leo’s victories over spargo, gluto, and shiny mark, completely put him back on the map as a top 10 player. Especially when you look at his 5th at a P tier.

[@iTrollerNoob]

​@@revengeoftheshreks1860 Zomba and Leo go back and forth, but the fact that he DOMINATED Glutonny and Shinymark back to back was insane.

[@cristianiniguez7915]

I low key think that Leo didn't win because he wasn't able to get his dair cheese with arsene like he did with bigboss, and that he would have been able to ride the momentum if he had clutched that game

[@Vemedu142]

This was such a goated tournament

[@eclipse7217]

Exceeding everyone's expectations, he took the grand finals reset. Moving on in bracket to go up against his final opponent... the decorations.

[@Team-Eclipse6024]

The fact Kola and Asimov hadn't played since the gimvitational is kind of insane.

[@Printerpenguin]

IIRC Kola reverse 3 - 0d Asimo both times

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Eh, it's honestly not that crazy. Tea and Light haven't played since 2019, for example.

I feel awful for Maister. It looked like he had a great chance to win the entire thing after going 3-0 in pools just to immediately get double 3-0d and sent home at 9th

[@jimmyrustles1988]

I feel for him as well. He's a jobber though :(

[@JackOfGreed]

I love how Shinymark's introduction is him timing out Sonix's it shows him gameplay off so well lol

[@JonathanScarlet]

What's even funnier is that he did it to Sonix again this tournament to close out the pool.

[@glitchunicorn]

It was pretty cool seeing a Roy main win a major! Congrats Kola!

[@fupalover]

The most interesting fact to me. Is that 1st AND 2nd of the first invitational both got last .

[@Rock25mr]

To make it better, Dabuz got 3rd at the first invitational and also ended last yesterday. And Maister which was 4th last time didn’t made it to top 8 neither

[@DragonMaster1818]

[@Furiac.]

cool that you and lumi are working together on this now

[@johnlight6003]

Next time, maybe blur the game records when you show the results, kinda spoils that kola won when you see (5-1) under his name or that someone lost when you see (X-2) under their name

[@AllBladesCut]

Fun fact: every set kola won was an upset. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

[@JohnDoe-sj3ng]

That hug at the end was wholesome.

[@10cesc4.]

When Kola is playing hot, he is such a beast and bear impossible to beat. Sparg0 is my goat but love to see these two duke it out. Absolute banger set.

[@anwnerd1762]

Great recap, but the only thing I wish you went more into detail on was group C, id gluttony won 3-1 we'd have an EXACT 3 way tie for 1st and who knows what would have happened then

yo sonix got so unlucky, but hopefully he'll win next time

[@ShallBePurified]

Spargo vs Sonix round 1 losers, I knew that was the most important match before grand finals. Whoever won that set would've made it to grand finals on a losers redemption run.

[@user-x2y2x]

Sonix could have won his pool but it was gonna be hard if he wasn’t on it which unfortunately he wasn’t, and having to play sparg0 at the start of the next day sucks also. He could have won that game 5 for sure against sparg0 but he didn’t get the landing nair into bair setup and sparg0 just kinda advantage stated him from there. It’s an unfortunate placement but he’s gonna be on his shit next time I know it.

⁠@@ShallBePurified honestly Leo - Kola was pretty important too IMO, as if Leo won he definitely had a path to grands winners side (I know shuton was in that path, but I think with him having MK as a oilmar Counterpick and the fact that he beat his other two bracket demons this tournament Leo might've beaten Shuton) and Leo definitely could've beaten Spargo in grands. Kinda funny how loser's round one and winners round one were both so influential

[@slickricky769]

Dude how good is Kola, this guy stop Sparg0 on a rampage... Sparg0 said I wasn't feeling it today but I want to win today and remember I can win if I want to... and he almost did it... but Kola..

[@ApolloMV2]

how does this affect sparg0s claim to #1?

[@browking8161]

It doesn't affect that much, honestly. Loses to Zomba and Leo won't affect him much, maybe the Kola loss will, but that depends on how Kola performs the rest of the season. Overall a 2nd place at a major after two 1st places at P tiers, he's still looking like the best player in the world. Sadly for Sonix, his case for being the best this season just got a lot harder. He needs to win everything he attends the rest of the season to stand a chance.

[@JonathanScarlet]

@@browking8161 Sounds about right. I personally don't think this loss to Kola should hurt Spargo; back-to-back-to-back finals in 3 high-level tourneys is a very strong case, and while I don't think Kola will pop off as hard as he did here the rest of the year I don't think it should matter short of Spargo missing every top 8 from now on. Shuton and Asimo get some legs up (especially Asimo after winning Umebura(?) over Acola), though.

[@loganaltman2340]

Don't forget, Spargo also got 3rd at another P tier this ranking season at Kowloon 12

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

It will arguably have a positive effect. Being on the losers side for so long means you get more wins. It's just risky to be on the losers side.
