Salem continued to enter tournaments and place well, but never actually won until a dominating performance at [[Apex 2013]], where he came out of nowhere to take first place. This shocked the world as he had not only won one of the most prestigious ''Brawl'' tournaments ever with a character who wasn't considered top [[tier]], but had done so without winning any local tournaments in his region prior to the event. Since then, however, Salem has not won any major ''Brawl'' tournaments, and has even placed lower than {{sm|Nick Riddle}} in some of them. | Salem continued to enter tournaments and place well, but never actually won until a dominating performance at [[Apex 2013]], where he came out of nowhere to take first place.
