Sparg0’s Run at Smash Summit 4 Finals
The Smash Summit 4 is one of the largest events around for Smash Ultimate. This one was being hosted at a bit of an odd time, coming just after Smash was removed from EVO. The event took place over the last week, March 3rd running through to March 6th. The event featured the top-ranking players from Mainstage along with other players who had been invited to the game. Sparg0 earned his slot through qualifying at Mainstage 2021, but few expected him to run through the event as he did.
He had a great run against his opponents. Although, the entire event had some strange quirks. Major players like MKLeo had poor performances in pools, giving a weird bracket to the event proper. Once the actual singles bracket began, Sparg0 faced Light in the first round. Here he won out 3-2 with Cloud, but the game was closer than what was to come. In the losers’ side of the bracket, MKLeo was knocked out by ProtoBanham in a bit of a surprise set.
The losers’ final decided who was to face Sparg0 in the final round. Light blew through ProtoBanham, winning 3-0 with Fox. Things turned again in the final though. Sparg0 repeated his win against Light from the initial round, but this as a solid 3-0. This one-sided kind of final wasn’t the tensest to watch, but it was definitely an impressive performance.
Sparg0 performed great across Smash Summit 4. Although, it has been a notable event as it is kind of strange across the board. What’s maybe even more surprising was the strength of the lesser-known players in this Smash Summit. It is possible that this tournament is marking the changing of the guard in the game.
