TOs HATE this commentator who signs up for commentating and then doesn't commentate because they're too busy topping majors

[@qwertz143]

you'll win a major soon 🙏🏻

ILL TRY

[@jrodd13]

He just has to be able to beat either Cody, Zain, Mang0, or Jmook. Everyone else he can beat. Those will be his walls blocking June's way to victory as they will always be in grands

when’s the dk matchup chart coming out?

[@inatreefort]

the use of "fucking fuck" as a term is hysterical to me. I love melee.

[@keb7066]

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

Retiring as a commentator to become a top level melee player, thats the Junebug baby :)

[@Whitsoxrule1]

Junes DK has beat 7 current top 20 players, 6 of them in the past 2 months alone (7 Moky, 10 Trif, 11 Joshman [3-0] 13 Axe [3-0], 14 Salt [twice] 16 Kodorin. Also beat 19 Magi a while ago). Hes the leader of the bunch and just might be top 10 in the next ranking. Also shout out to Quang who has beat Moky, 12 Spark and 18 Ossify. The rise of DK has single-handedly gotten me back into melee. Dont stop now June!!

[@Pal42_]

Quang having so many good wins against Sheik of all characters, a matchup I would've considered borderline impossible to lose as Sheik, is insane to me

[@CeilingPanda]

Nah, every DK story should happen, we need more DK in our lives

[@BigDnotimpressed]

THIS!

[@Archrid]

We had the stream up at the last Cave in Fairfax and the venue freaked out at every stitch face pull and popped off when you got that dair on Trif.

[@quantum6637]

Cool thing to note, this string of placements from Supernova to Eggdog Invitational is SUPER similar to Skyjay’s Collision 23’ to Smash Ultimate Summit. It’s pretty eerie. Junebug: 3rd at Supernova, last chance qualifier Bo5 for invitational, then gets 5th Skyjay: 2nd at Collision, last chance qualifier Bo5 for invitational, then gets 5th.

[@StarkDoes]

The run was bananas. I think its been so incredible to see the eggdog guys show so much love too. Great job on the melee play and the skit work!

[@AprendeSSBM]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="407">6:47</a> Jhonny's reaction is priceless

God do I want to see the dk doc ft10 sometime. That sounds so rad

[@trueblueryu5713]

Taking bets on the next character to make it to top level. As much as I’d like it to be Luigi, I feel like we’ll see another elite level doc first. But until then, I’m gonna keep enjoying the DK movement as long as I can.

[@AndrewRKenny]

I have a ton of respect for you entirely avoiding any narrative of "they lost to DONKEY KONG" or invoking the "viability" of your character in a condescending way. It's easy to do that even accidentally as a mid tier player IMO. Insanely cool what you and The Bunch are doing right now in the meta, as everybody acknowledges already, just thought I'd also bring up that I think how you're doing it is great for the health and perception of the whole community. Bona fide good fella vibes. 👏

[@DaCapybara]

I hope this run really destroys the narrative that you only got to 3rd at SuperNova due to a lucky bracket. Props for showing that the DK is not to be trifled with! I feel like this is only the beginning for real.

[@RaFaReAcH]

The protagonist 🦍‼‼‼ 🔥🔥🔥

[@gravityvertigo13579]

The thing that kept happening where you'd grab, and aMSa would dodge it by leaning back at the beginning of an F-smash, or a neutral b, or whatever... That shit was blowing my mind

[@Goobywoobygoo]

They really thought they could keep down the leader of the bunch?

[@shadoninja]

The win against Moky was absolutely crazy. He probably could not believe you beat him haha

[@barbarictearemedy]

You've been doing such a great job on commentary lately!

[@arJunebugSmash]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@alexanderlane7863]

Love watching you play June! Keep at it, we all want to see you take some wins from top 10 players! Mangos timing mixups are just insane, good luck 🍀!!

[@Jaggernaut]

Watching your run in person was super fun. I can see myself in the crowd cheering for you lol.

[@timmasters1195]

s2j's fundamentals and experience made me think you were going to get 3-0'd tbh, the MU seems terrible, you played really well to lose 3-2 imo. do you feel like people are starting to learn the MU a bit (mango aside, he seems to be your kryptonite), or is the level still feeling the same most of the time?

[@KaiiLikeHawaii]

i hope you may keep the attitude of 'it's doable' all the way to the top buddy :) i see your influence on netplay every time i play now. positive forces following you ^-^

[@reeganvancamp6707]

Some people use they/them pronouns since they are non binary and not man or woman, but those pronouns are gender neutral and could still be used with anybody :)!! Usually good to clarify with the person anyway, but I don’t think Johnny isnt non binary

[@jimothycool]

You Gamed.

[@Thomas-nz4si]

Watching the Amsa set felt like that matchup is just unwinnable. With djc it felt like he could be right inside your hitbox unreactably. Without shield poking while lacking a shield pressure option seems so fucking brutal. It's an uphill battle until you get outside of cc range. Maybe this could be a thing where you really study up like when Zain over came Axe or when Cody overcame Zain, but to me that's a specific matchup where you pull out the secondary.

[@Thierce]

most games went last stock tho

[@gregorydonahue2996]
