Tournament summary

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Although aMSa had registered to compete, he ultimately did not attend due to his sore throat.[1] This left Inngenn, the second-best player in Japan, to continue his streak of regional wins. After flawlessly getting through Top 64, he defeated Skerzo in the Winners Semi-Final, but was then knocked into loser's by Sanne. Inngenn then defeated Skerzo again and double-eliminated Sanne, earning his third consecutive Kowloon victory.
