MOAST 3 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee national tournament held in Dallas, Texas, during January 15th-16th, 2005. The tournament is best known for the grand finals match between Ken and Isai. During grand finals Ken went up 2-0, but Isai responded by winning 3 consecutive games to take the tournament. Many players consider that set, particularly Isai's play, to be very influential to the Melee meta game.
