'''Ek''' is a {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Sheik}} player from Kungälv, Sweden, who was generally considered to be among the best players in Europe in his prime. During the 2005-2006 era, he was commonly considered to be the European equivalent of {{Sm|Ken}}. He became widely known in the community after {{Sm|Captain Jack}} complimented him, saying he's "as good as Ken" after narrowly defeating him in grand finals at RoofSM in January 2006. Ek regularly teamed with {{Sm|Helios}} in doubles tournaments. Ek was one of {{Sm|Armada}}'s inspirations in continuing to play ''Melee'' competitively and even resulted in the latter picking up {{SSBM|Marth}} as his main, albeit only for a brief period of time.
'''Ek''' is a [[Marth]] player from Kungälv, Sweden, who is generally considered to be one of the best players in Sweden and Europe. His nickname is actually his last name, meaning "oak" in Swedish. Ek is best known for his Marth, however he plays various other characters well, especially Fox and Sheik. He has recently stated he doesn´t find [[SSBM]] very interesting anymore.
