==Tournament Summary== | |||
Some notable upsets occured at this tournament. {{Sm|Mango}} who at the time came was a [[SSBM|Jigglypuff]] [[main]] on the come up beat {{Sm|Mew2King}} in pools, then considered to be the best player in the world. Mew2King then lost to {{Sm|Chillin}} in the losers top 8 qualifier to finish at a underwhelming 9th place. Mango continued his run by upsetting {{Sm|Ken}} in winners-semis. He then lost to {{Sm|HugS}} in winners finals and Ken in a losers finals rematch to finish at 3rd place. Ken after getting upset by Mango made a losers run beating {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|PC Chris}}, Mango, and HugS in 2 sets of grand finals to win the tournament. After the tournament many analysts wrote off Mangos win against Mew2King as a fluke because it was a best of 1 until his win at [[Pound 3]]. | |||
