26:22 That last f smash from Tea looked a frame or two off from punishing MkLeo's whiffed up smash and ending it, but Leo gets the shield up and closes it with d smash. The man is too clutch. Just like how he was pixels away from dying to Light's f smash and getting 5th at Genesis 6. Just like when he was down two stocks and facing tournament point vs tweek and samsora at EVO 2019 and Smash Con 2019 respectively. With MkLeo it really never is over til it's over.

Somehow, I manage to come back to this video at least once a month and it's always just as thrilling to watch as when I watched it live even if I know the outcome. Even though my favorite player lost, this is still my favorite set of all time. I like to imagine scenarios of how things could have gone differently. Like if Tea landed the F-smash, or chose to flee; if he won the set and the winner of the tournament was still up in the air and any of the three finalist could've taken it. I really love this set.

[@WolfNandos97]
