It was the eleventh installment of the [[Tournament:Smash Summit (series)|Smash Summit series]] for ''Melee'', and was held on July 15th-18th, 2021.

'''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 $155,669, 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 Marth using Fox in back-to-back games on {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, a matchup widely considered to be unfavorable for Fox. {{Sm|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 Mango and finishing the event in 3rd place.
