In the summer of 2006, Amsah traveled to Sweden to attend The Renaissance of Smash 3, where he faced the best Swedish player of the time, {{Sm|Ek}}. They met in winners' finals, which was a close and intense set. The final match of the set, however, is regarded by many to be one of the greatest matches ever recorded, being one of the greatest comebacks of all time in smash. With the score tied 3-3, Ek managed to gain a two-stock lead whilst only taking 7% damage. Ek soon had a three-stock lead whilst at 140% damage. Amsah managed to start a comeback, taking two stocks off of Ek, though when Ek still had two fresh stocks, Amsah was on his last stock with 108% damage. This made it seem even more impossible to win, though Amsah's smart play allowed him to take Ek to his last stock. After barely surviving some of Ek's moves, Amsah managed to continue his comeback and win the match with 162% damage on his last stock. This became the origin of a popular European expression, 'pulling an Amsah'. Afterwards, Amsah defeated Ek once again in grand finals, and won the tournament. Amsah was considered by many to be the best player in Europe after RoS3. | In the summer of 2006, Amsah traveled to Sweden to attend The Renaissance of Smash 3, where he faced the best Swedish player of the time, {{Sm|Ek}}.

In December 2006, Amsah got a chance to meet Captain Jack again, at [[JST5]]. He lost to Captain Jack in winners' finals, but after eliminating Ek in losers' finals, Amsah managed to win both sets of grand finals against Captain Jack, winning the tournament. In July 2007, Amsah also won [[The Renaissance of Smash 4]], winning both sets of grand finals against {{Sm|Aldwyn}}. In February 2008, at [[Epita Smash Arena 2]], Amsah defeated Japanese smasher {{Sm|Masashi}} in winners' semis, and then proceeded to once again defeat Captain Jack in both winners' finals and grand finals. | In December 2006, Amsah got a chance to meet Captain Jack again, at [[JST5]].

Amsah lost his title of the best European smasher in 2009. At [[SMASH ATTACK]] in April 2009, Amsah lost to {{Sm|Zgetto}} in winners' semis, and was then eliminated by {{Sm|Armada}} 0-4 in losers' finals. Shortly after, at [[Epita Smash Arena 3]], he lost to Armada 0-4 once again in grand finals. After Armada attended [[GENESIS]] and placed 2nd, he said that Amsah would have also made it into top 3 if he had attended. Amsah proved this in January 2010, when he attended [[Pound 4]]. He managed to defeat top American players such as {{Sm|Jman}} and {{Sm|Zhu}}, and even managed to eliminate Armada 3-1 in losers' semis. He was then eliminated by {{Sm|Hungrybox}} 0-3 in losers' finals. Amsah's losses to Armada in European tournaments remained consistent, however, as he lost to Armada in grand finals 1-4 at Berlin Calling, 0-4 at [[Epita Smash Arena 4]], and 0-4 at [[B.E.A.S.T]]. Amsah later attended [[Pound V]] and [[Apex 2012]], where he placed 9th and 33rd in ''Melee'' singles, respectively. | Amsah lost his title of the best European smasher in 2009.
