During top 8 of Shine 2017, {{Sm|ChuDat}} narrowly beat Leffen 3-2 getting a reverse 3-0 on him, ending Leffen's run at 7th. It was later discovered that the set had been played on vanilla Melee instead of with [[UCF]] enabled, a mod designed to make shield dropping and dash back consistent rather then RNG based. The set would be controversially replayed, resulting in a 2-3 victory for Leffen, ending ChuDat's run at 7th. Leffen would receive backlash from this, although the decision had been made by the Shine TOs; many agreed that Leffen should not have received such negative attention for the ruling, as the TOs had created the situation by failing to check that UCF was turned on. | During top 8 of Shine 2017, {{Sm|ChuDat}} narrowly beat Leffen 3-2 getting a reverse 3-0 on him, ending Leffen's run at 7th.

===Opinion on ''Ultimate''=== | |||
Despite focusing on ''Ultimate'' for a year, Leffen has been openly critical about the game, even going as far as to say that playing top-level ''Ultimate'' "is just pure fucking torture to me."<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1200853073935159301|title=Leffen's Tweet before DreamHack Winter 2019}}</ref> As a result, he has butted heads with several other ''Ultimate'' professionals. Most notably, on September 26th, he argued with {{Sm|Rickles}} that streaming ''Ultimate'' was painful to him, that he "rather flip burgers at [sic] mcdonalds if it paid the same amount," and that streaming ''Ultimate'' was harder than a minimum wage job.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1310010198002728961|title=Flipping Burgers Tweet}}</ref> This Tweet was met with backlash and mockery from the community, with several Smashers such as {{Sm|Axe}} recounting how they hated working at their minimum wage jobs before they went professional. The Tweet eventually caused Leffen's name to trend on Twitter<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/iamrickles/status/1310586002747076609|title=Archived Minimum Wage Tweet}}</ref>. Leffen would later delete and apologize for his minimum wage Tweet.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1310482233170579456|title=Leffen apologizing for his Tweet}}</ref> | |||
