'''King Con''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[major]] held in Paris, [[France]], from February 24th-25th, 2024.

==Tournament summary==
The tournament is Europe's first major event of the season and featured several notable international players, including {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, and {{Sm|MKBigBoss}}. This is also the first event outside of North America for {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|ChunkyKong}}. In addition, the winners of {{Trn|Valhalla IV}} and {{Trn|GENESIS X}} were invited to the event, with the winner of the latter event getting the first seed. {{Sm|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 {{Sm|Lancelot}} for the former and {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}} for the latter. Finally, this event was notably missing {{Sm|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 {{Sm|Neeroz}} upset Neo 3-2 (upset factor 9) while #29 seed {{Sm|KID}} upset #4 seed {{Sm|Marss}} 3-2 (upset factor 6). In addition, #8 seed {{Sm|Skyjay}} lost to #40 seed {{Sm|Ente}} 0-3 and #33 seed {{Sm|Longo}} 1-3 (both upset factor 5) for 33rd, and #10 seed {{Sm|BassMage}} lost to #138 seed {{Sm|Elfo}} 1-3 (upset factor 8) and #31 seed {{Sm|MazeBeans}} 2-3 for 33rd as well. Outside of the international players, #11 seed {{Sm|Tarik}} was also upset by #86 seed {{Sm|Poww}} 2-3 (upset factor 6). The Losers' Top 32 Qualifier match between {{Sm|Artsnif}} and {{Sm|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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Artsnif/status/1761455055012556876?t=-SlRTHNc9wDqhHzNuDCITg|title=Venue closing during {{Sm|Artsnif}} and {{Sm|Lancelot}}'s set}}</ref> Lancelot would win game 4 and 5 to win the set 3-2, with game 5 being a reverse 3-stock.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LancelotSSB/status/1761679866443796900|title="Reverse 3-0 stocked Artsnif game 5 in a corner with nobody watching 😭"}}</ref>

On the second day, KID continued his strong run by defeating {{Sm|Oryon}} 3-1 and {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} 3-2 to enter top 8 Winner's side, the furthest a {{SSBU|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 {{Sm|AndresFn}} and {{Sm|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, {{Sm|Sisqui}} was notably eliminated at 17th, losing to {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} 0-3 and {{Sm|MazeBeans}} 2-3, tying {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}} as his worst European major placement. In addition, {{Sm|Marss}} was also eliminated at 17th by {{Sm|Flow|p=France}}, marking Marss's first double-digit placement since {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}}. 

In top 8, KID's run was ended by {{Sm|Raflow}} 3-1 while MkLeo defeated Sparg0 3-2, allowing the two to face-off in a runback from {{Trn|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 {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} a year prior, and his first B+ tier or higher win since {{Trn|Wavedash 2023}} eight months prior
