'''Zain''' (originally known as '''tekkenz''') is a ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Marth}} main from Reston, Virginia who is currently residing in Blacksburg, Virginia. He is considered one of the greatest Marth players of all-time, as well as one of the best ''Melee'' players during the post-netplay era, being ranked first in 2022 and the first half of 2024. In addition, Zain was considered to be the best player in North America in 2020, due to both his win at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} and his dominance in [[Project Slippi]] [[Online play|netplay]] events during the [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|COVID-19 pandemic]]. He is known for his incredibly lethal punish game on [[space animal]] players and methodical play against [[floaty]] characters. He is currently ranked 1st on the [[SSBMRank Summer 2024]]. Aside from Marth, Zain is also known for defeating notable players both offline and online with {{SSBM|Roy}} while under the alias '''DontTestMe'''.

On April 12th, 2018, Zain was signed by {{Team|Panda}},<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PandaGlobalPG/status/984521696957870080|title= Welcome to the Plup Club: Zain joins Panda Global!}}</ref> but left on November 8th, 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PandaGlobal/status/1192925009074737152?s=20|title= Zain and Panda Global part ways}}</ref> After being sponsored for the duration of GENESIS 7 by Mogul Moves, {{Sm|Ludwig}}'s clothing brand, Zain was picked up by the {{Team|Golden Guardians}}, the official esports affiliate of the Golden State Warriors NBA team on February 6th, 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/GoldenGuardians/status/1225479518799818752|title= We are also excited to enter the SSBM scene with @ZainNaghmi, the #G7 Champion!}}</ref> After three years, he would part ways with Golden Guardians on March 29th, 2023.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/GoldenGuardians/status/1641123051306729488|title=Zain leaves GG}}</ref> On April 6th, 2023, Zain was re-signed by Ludwig and joined {{Team|Moist Moguls}}.

==Tournament history==
Zain started playing competitively in May 2014 and quickly climbed the ranks, notably winning the [http://xanaduarcadian.challonge.com/tfameleetop16 S@X Fall Arcadian]. He gained recognition at the national level at {{Trn|The Big House 6}} when he defeated {{Sm|Plup}} 2-0 in pools. He went on to place 17th after beating {{Sm |KJH}} and {{Sm|Tafokints}}. He notably took a set off of {{Sm|Leffen}} 3-2 at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 3}} placing 13th, and sets off of {{Sm|ChuDat}} and {{Sm|SFAT}} 2-1 and 3-0 respectively at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2017}}, placing 5th at said event. At {{Trn|Smash Summit 6}}, he beat both {{Sm|Mango}} and Plup to take 3rd. Finally, at {{Trn|Shine 2018}}, Zain won his first major tournament, beating Mango and double eliminating {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, taking his first ever victories over the latter. Over a year later, he took his first set over {{Sm|Mew2King}} at {{Trn|The Big House 9}}, placing 2nd after losing two Game 5 sets to Mango in Grand Finals.

A few months after The Big House 9, Zain won his first supermajor at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} without dropping a set, defeating Hungrybox 3-1, Mango, and Hungrybox again 3-2. As tournaments switched to online play due to COVID-19, Zain continued to dominate, winning several large online events such as {{Trn|Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 2}}, 3 out of the 4 {{Trn|Slippi Champions League}} events, and finally {{Trn|Smash Summit 10 Online}} to cement himself as the best online player in North America, with Mango serving as his primary rival for the title.

In 2023, following a series of victories by {{Sm|Cody Schwab}}, Zain, Cody Schwab, and {{Sm|Ludwig}} organized [[The Match|a best-of-10 match]] between him and Cody Schwab, the winner of which would be automatically given 1st on the [[SSBMRank]] 2023 rankings. Zain lost 7-10, ending Zain's dominant stretch and cementing Cody Schwab as best player in the world.

===Other ''Smash'' games===
Zain briefly dabbled in ''[[Ultimate]]'' in response to {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s 90-day ''Ultimate'' detox, with Zain choosing to play ''Ultimate'' for the same amount of time to "poison" himself. Zain's [[Twitch]] chat chose his main, and he ultimately went with {{SSBU|Roy}}. Although his ''Ultimate'' activity was primarily in the game's [[Online play#In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|online mode]], Zain did see some competitive play at two {{Trn|Coinbox}} events, however he failed to win a single set.

==Trivia==
*Although the correct pronunciation of his name—and essentially his tag—is "Zan" (like the beginning of "Xanax"), Zain has stated that he is fine with both pronunciations.<ref>{{citeweb|url= https://twitter.com/zainnaghmi/status/1305206033648881664|title=Zain or Zan}}</ref>
*Zain has defeated 5 of the members of the [[2018 MPGR]] top 6 (all but {{Sm|Armada}}):
**{{Sm|Plup}} at {{Trn|The Big House 6}} (and later beating him again at {{Trn|Smash Summit 6}} after Plup's ascension to "god-level")
**{{Sm|Leffen}} at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 3}}
**{{Sm|Mang0}} at Smash Summit 6
**{{Sm|Hungrybox}} at {{Trn|Shine 2018}}
**{{Sm|Mew2King}} at {{Trn|The Big House 9}}
*Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Zain sometimes competes in online tournaments by sandbagging under the tag "DontTestMe", where he goes solo {{SSBM|Roy}} in bracket, a character considered by many to be one of the worst characters in ''[[Melee]]''. Despite this, he has won multiple netplay events over other MPGR-ranked players.
*Zain's first gamertag was tekkenz. His father combined Zain's favorite game at that time, {{uv|Tekken}}, with the first letter of his first name.
*Zain has a knack for a variety of comedic sketches and impressions, the latter of which include Marge from ''The Simpsons'' and numerous ''Melee'' players (such as {{Sm|Wife}}, {{Sm|UnknownForce}}, {{Sm|KoreanDJ}}, and {{Sm|ChuDat}}).
**He has imitated Chu's penchant for eating raw onions on stream, substituting an onion for an entire lime (skin and all) instead.
* After losing to {{Sm|Axe}} at {{Trn|Apex 2022}}, Zain had only lost to 5 players since then in serious sets: {{Sm|aMSa}}, {{Sm|Jmook}}, {{Sm|Cody Schwab}}, Leffen, and Mang0. This streak ended at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2024}}, where {{Sm|Aklo}}'s Link defeated Zain 3-1 in Winner's Semi-finals.
