'''Smash Summit 11''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' invitational [[List of national tournaments|supermajor]] tournament. It was the eleventh installment of the [[Tournament:Smash Summit (series)|Smash Summit series]] for ''Melee'', and was held on July 15th-18th, 2021. It was held at the Beyond the Summit's Studio in Los Angeles, California, and was closed to the general public.

The tournament was notable as the first offline major for ''Melee'' in over a year, due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|COVID-19 pandemic]]. At $155,372, it also set the record for the largest prize pool of any event in ''Smash'' history, a record that it held for a month. {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|aMSa}} were both automatically invited to the event as international competitors who had been unable to compete in North American online events; however, Leffen was unable to attend due to visa issues. {{Sm|Pipsqueak}} had also qualified for the event, but had to withdraw the day before the start of competition due to travel difficulties; he was then given an automatic invite to {{Trn|Smash Summit 12}}.

{{Sm|Mango}} took first place at the event, defeating {{Sm|moky}}, {{Sm|n0ne}}, {{Sm|iBDW}}, {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|Zain}} twice en route to his first Summit championship. The two-set, ten-game grand finals was immediately considered an all-time classic, as Mango clawed back from an 0-2 deficit in the first set and defeated Zain's {{SSBM|Marth}} using {{SSBM|Fox}} in back-to-back games on {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, a matchup widely considered to be unfavorable for Fox. Hungrybox also had an impressive showing at the event; although his online placements had been lackluster, he defeated aMSa and iBDW to reach winners' finals before losing to Zain and Mango and finishing the event in 3rd place.

==Trivia==
*This tournament has the largest singles pot in all of ''Melee'' history at $155,372 and was the first ''Smash'' tournament to exceed $100,000, beating the previous record from {{Trn|Smash Summit 5}}'s around $80,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/practicaltas/status/1411394011986808836?s=21|title=The largest prize pool}}</ref> It was the 14th largest prize pool out of any fighting game.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/oee0oi/smash_summit_11s_prize_pool_has_reached_140000_as/h46pfrr/ Largest fighting game prize pools]</ref> {{Sm|Mango}} won the largest payout at a ''Melee'' tournament at $46,611.60.
*This was the first in-person Smash Summit since the original {{Trn|Smash Summit}} where Mango was in Grand Finals, as well as more notably serving as Mango's first Smash Summit win.
*This was the first odd numbered Smash Summit since {{Trn|Smash Summit 3}} where {{Sm|Hungrybox}} didn't win, ending his streak.
*The vote-in process for Smash Summit 11 achieved a number of firsts in comparison to prior Summits:
**This is the first Summit where the majority of players voted in were [[sponsor]]ed ({{Sm|Aklo}} and {{Sm|yingling}} being the exceptions at the time of the voting process).
**{{Sm|Hungrybox}} had received the most votes for any first round Summit vote-in player in Summit history (around 120,000 votes) until being superseded by {{Sm|Aaron|p=Florida}} at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 3}}.
**{{Sm|Wizzrobe}} received the most votes for any player that would ultimately be eliminated from the voting phase (around 138,000 votes) until being superseded by {{Sm|Peanut}} at Smash Ultimate Summit 3.
**yingling had received the most votes for any vote-in player in Summit history (around 175,000 votes), though this has since been superseded by {{Sm|Kola}} at Smash Ultimate Summit 3.
***yingling's campaign garnered attention due to his underdog status and his lead throughout most of the voting phase. A few notable players, including {{Sm|HugS}} and {{Sm|LSD}}, voiced their support for yingling,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz5waXcsBU8|title=HugS' video on yingling}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LSDSSBM/status/1411805271886864385|title=LSD's Tweet}}</ref> and many other players changed their Twitter profile picture to that of a fish from ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' and their Twitter name to "I am Nicholas yingling."
*Smash Summit 11 was the first in-person Smash Summit to have no players from Sweden and Europe as a whole compete, as both {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|Pipsqueak}} encountered travel issues originating from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that prevented them from attending.
*Mango's loser's run is tied with {{Sm|acola}}'s loser's run at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 6}} for the longest of any Smash Summit champion, winning 7 consecutive sets after losing to {{Sm|Plup}} in Winner's Quarterfinals.
