Super Smash Bros. is one of the most popular games from Nintendo. In the eSports scene of the Brawler, a teenager has caused a sensation.
Turning on the Switch at the age of 15 to hit the head with a few friends in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is certainly no sensation. However, winning a Major Tournament off the cuff after just a few months of playing, offline mind you, borders on a miracle.
The same has been achieved in Japan by 15-year-old ‘acola’. The Ultimate player, who competes with the Minecraft character Steve, left several seasoned eSportsmen behind him at the Kagaribi 7 in Japan. The event was no less than a date of the “Smash World Tour”, which serves as a qualification for the world championship, the Championships.
Even the world’s top players are listening up
Naturally, the sensational performance of the smash talent caused an outcry within the scene and made waves all the way to the absolute top of the world. The “five gods of Melee”, as the world’s best Melee players are called, were of course not unaware of the tournament victory. Juan ‘Hungrybox’ DeBiedma, who counts himself among the elite circle of Smash “gods”, tweeted after the Erolg ‘acolas’: “Possibly the next Ultimate God. Keep an eye on him.” Advice that the scene will surely follow after this exclamation point to the debut.
