King Con was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Paris, France, from February 24th-25th, 2024.
Tournament summary
The tournament is Europe's first major event of the season and featured several notable international players, including Sparg0, MkLeo, and MKBigBoss. This is also the first event outside of North America for Marss and ChunkyKong. In addition, the winners of Valhalla IV and GENESIS X were invited to the event, with the winner of the latter event getting the first seed. Zomba won both events, however he declined both invitations, and as such the invitation was passed on to the next available player who was not already registered, that being Lancelot for the former and Neo for the latter. Finally, this event was notably missing Glutonny, who decided to take a break from events after traveling for the last few weeks to Japan and GENESIS X.
Several international invaders were upset on the first day, including two top 8 seeds: seed #32 seed Neeroz upset Neo 3-2 (upset factor 9) while #29 seed KID upset #4 seed Marss 3-2 (upset factor 6). In addition, #8 seed Skyjay lost to #40 seed Ente 0-3 and #33 seed Longo 1-3 (both upset factor 5) for 33rd, and #10 seed BassMage lost to #138 seed Elfo 1-3 (upset factor 8) and #31 seed MazeBeans 2-3 for 33rd as well. Outside of the international players, #11 seed Tarik was also upset by #86 seed Poww 2-3 (upset factor 6). The Losers' Top 32 Qualifier match between Artsnif and Lancelot was cut off during game 4 due to the venue closing, leaving said match as the only unfinished match before top 32 the following day.[1] Lancelot would win game 4 and 5 to win the set 3-2, with game 5 being a reverse 3-stock.[2]
MkLeo won the event, beating ApolloKage in Winners' Quarters, Raflow in Winners' Finals, and Sparg0 in Winners' Semifinals and Grand Finals. This was notably his first major win since GENESIS 9 one year prior, and his first B+ tier or higher win since Wavedash 2023 eight months prior. This was also the third major of 2024 with at least one of the Four Horsemen in attendance that was won by someone outside of the Four Horsemen. Raflow placed 3rd while being the #9 seed, only losing to MkLeo and Sparg0. Bloom4Eva placed 4th, his first Top 4 at a major since Ultimate Fighting Arena 2022 over a year prior. KID placed 5th as the #29 seed, upsetting Oryon and MKBigBoss to make Winners' side of Top 8. Though Neo won six sets through Losers' side, we was defeated by Sparg0 at 5th place. Oryon defeated #6 seed ApolloKage 3-2 (upset factor 4) before losing to Bloom4Eva at 7th place. #5 seed Sisqui would be upset by both #12 seed MKBigBoss and #31 seed MazeBeans to be eliminated at 17th place. #23 seed Flow upset #4 seed Marss 3-1 (upset factor 5), eliminating him at 17th place.
