Trivia

Most of Armada's wins before his retirement were at supermajor tournaments, with 12 out of his 19 wins being at these said tournaments.
Zain, Leffen, Armada, and Hungrybox are the only players who have won at least one major/supermajor in both the North American and European Melee Scenes.
From 2009 to 2014, the only players who won majors during this time period were Armada, Hungrybox, Mango, Mew2King, and PPMD. This era is commonly nicknamed "The Era of the Five Gods".
