 MkLeo 1v1 Sparg0 & Skyjay 2v2
|
King Con was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Paris, France, from February 24th-25th, 2024.
Tournament summaryEdit
The tournament is Europe's first major event of the season and featured several notable international players, including Sparg0, MkLeo, and MKBigBoss. This is also the first event outside of North America for Marss and ChunkyKong. In addition, the winners of Valhalla IV and GENESIS X were invited to the event, with the winner of the latter event getting the first seed. Zomba won both events, however he declined both invitations, and as such the invitation was passed on to the next available player who was not already registered, that being Lancelot for the former and Neo for the latter. Finally, this event was notably missing Glutonny, who decided to take a break from events after traveling for the last few weeks to Japan and GENESIS X.
Several international invaders were upset on the first day, including two top 8 seeds: seed #32 seed Neeroz upset Neo 3-2 (upset factor 9) while #29 seed KID upset #4 seed Marss 3-2 (upset factor 6). In addition, #8 seed Skyjay lost to #40 seed Ente 0-3 and #33 seed Longo 1-3 (both upset factor 5) for 33rd, and #10 seed BassMage lost to #138 seed Elfo 1-3 (upset factor 8) and #31 seed MazeBeans 2-3 for 33rd as well. Outside of the international players, #11 seed Tarik was also upset by #86 seed Poww 2-3 (upset factor 6). The Losers' Top 32 Qualifier match between Artsnif and Lancelot was cut off during game 4 due to the venue closing, leaving said match as the only unfinished match before top 32 the following day.[1] Lancelot would win game 4 and 5 to win the set 3-2, with game 5 being a reverse 3-stock.[2]
On the second day, KID continued his strong run by defeating Oryon 3-1 and MKBigBoss 3-2 to enter top 8 Winner's side, the furthest a Mii Brawler player had went at a major. On the Loser's side, both Neo and Tarik managed to make strong Loser runs to make it into top 8, with Neo going game 5 against AndresFn and MKBigBoss while Tarik mostly cruised through his bracket; both players then fought each other in top 8, with Neo coming out on top, and Neo ultimately placed 5th. On the other hand, Sisqui was notably eliminated at 17th, losing to MKBigBoss 0-3 and MazeBeans 2-3, tying Temple: Hermès Edition as his worst European major placement. In addition, Marss was also eliminated at 17th by Flow, marking Marss's first double-digit placement since Ludwig Smash Invitational.
In top 8, KID's run was ended by Raflow 3-1 while MkLeo defeated Sparg0 3-2, allowing the two to face-off in a runback from Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023. MkLeo ultimately won 3-2, moving on to Grand Finals. A notable event took place during game 3 of the set: when the two were on their second stock at low percent, Raflow's controller disconnected. Although MkLeo requested the match to go on, the tournament organizers had Raflow lose a stock, and he ultimately lost the game. Following the set, MkLeo defeated Sparg0 in the runback 3-1, winning his first major since GENESIS 9 a year prior, and his first B+ tier or higher win since Wavedash 2023 eight months prior
