This small stagnation didn't last, and Light would finally have his breakout tournament at {{Trn|Shine 2017}}. After losing to {{Sm|Salem}}, Light went on to defeat {{Sm|Mr.E}}, {{Sm|JK}}, and {{Sm|VoiD}} before losing to {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} for 9th. Not only was he one set away from making top 8 at a major, but this was his first major where he garnered PGR wins that were outside of his region. This strong performance was followed by yet another strong showing at {{Trn|The Big House 7}}, where he claimed wins over {{Sm|DarkShad}} and {{Sm|NAKAT}} to finish 17th. These two strong performances, coupled with multiple PGR wins and with only 2 losses to players that weren't in the top 50, was enough for Light to place in the top 50 for the first time in his career, and he was ranked 47th on the [[PGR v4]].

But this wasn't the end of Light's year, as the off-season became the highlight. He was voted into the {{Trn|Smash 4 Boot Camp}}, the game's equivalent to ''Melee''{{'}}s {{Trn|Smash Summit|series}} series, and although he was seeded 9th, Light managed to pull off multiple upsets over top players. Light went 2-1 in his round robin by defeating {{Sm|Cosmos}} and {{Sm|Tweek}} and losing to {{Sm|MkLeo}}; his head to head broke the tiebreaker between him and Tweek, leaving him first in his round robin. Light claimed an additional win over {{Sm|Mr.R}} before falling to {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} to place 5th, his first top 8 at a major event. He followed this run with two victories at large regionals in and around his area. The first, {{Trn|Overclocked}}, saw him defeat {{Sm|CaptainZack}} and, after falling to Marss yet again, saw him double-eliminating Marss from the tournament in the runback, his first time double-eliminating Marss to win a regional. The second tournament was {{Trn|The Legend of Glentendo}}, a New York event that saw some of Tristate's best players in attendance. This tournament was much easier for Light compared to Overclocked, as he defeated everyone, including New Jersey's second-best player {{Sm|Shoyo James}} twice, while only dropping 3 games the entire event. This sudden explosion of results from Light gave him the throne on the year-end [[New England Power Rankings]] and foreshadowed what was to come.
