      Before today, Esam was up in offline sets, but most or all of his wins were vs Marth/Lucina. I wanna say he was 0-2 to Leo Joker?
      So while Esam has beaten Leo a lot, there's always been the question of "but could he beat the Joker?" which was answered with a resounding yes today :)
      edit: apparently esam had only beaten leo twice, once on marth and once on lucina. and he lost twice to joker. i honestly was a little skeptical when i saw esam beat leo in winners, since he "only" took one game off the joker. but grand finals changed my mind

    I had to keep replaying that last stock game 4 match because I couldn't believe what I just saw. I was rooting for ESAM the whole set but after he SD'd in the beginning of Game 4, I thought Leo was taking back the whole tournament for sure. That last combo from ESAM though....what an absolute legend.
    Beautiful set from both players. Really happy for ESAM. He deserved it.

      The smash pro community are slowly winning entire sets against Leo in a semi consistent way. First it was tweek with a 6-0 and now Esam who beat Leo in winners and G.F. Leo is still the top 1 though, but he nows needs to be more careful and serious and I know he knows that, this is why he now doubts joker because it is a match most pro know at this point.

MKLeo just has not practiced as much as Tweek and Esam did during quarantine, so the gap between them has shrunk, but that also means that Leo has more room to improve than them I believe, like we saw in his rematch against Tweek.

      Yeah, the storylines are kinda crazy at this point.
      There's Leo who's the PGR 2019 #1 player defending his title of the best in the world.
      Then you have Spargo who started making waves online and has had some big tournament placements IRL
      We also have Tweek who is the former #2 player who spent time during quarantine to reflect on himself and find himself a character that he wants to main, who is giving Leo a run for his money for that #1 spot.
      There's also Marss, who was poised to be in contention in the #1 spot in early 2020 but due to Covid was thrown off his groove and is currently going through something of a rediscovery arc.
      And then there's Esam who's been grinding the f*** out of Ultimate during quarantine and probably just jumped from top 20 to top 5 unexpectedly.
      Those are just the real basic ones I felt like covering. The storylines run pretty deep with this game's competitive scene and I'm curious to see where it goes.

    ¿La "forma LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" por fin fue derrotada?
    Fue un excelente torneo, me gusto mas que los otros, en todos los juegos siempre iban parejos o hicieron cosas bastante geniales casi todos los jugadores.
    Algo remarcable es que Maister casi vence a Leo, Chag volvió a sufrir lo que le hizo Capitan Zack hace años(destruir su escudo y fue quien lo elimino) y Leo lo tuvieron contra la pared ya no tienen miedo a Byleth, le jugaron fuera del stage y si le robaron stocks como el lo hace.
    Me alegra que fuera full con Joker e hiciera lo imposible por ganar pero, al parecer ya fracturaron su forma LEO, y Esam es la prueba de que incluso con Arsene y regalándole un stock se le puede ganar al rey de los comebacks. Esto si es una nueva era.

    ESAM won with authority and finish it with a 0 to death, wow!
    From now on ESAM will be known as the GAME 4 LEO Slayer.

    Damn...I first watched this a couple months ago when I was relatively new to watching smash elite. I was told that mkleo was the best player and all that, of course, but I didn't yet have the knowledge of how utterly dominant leo is, of how he often he manages to make crazy comebacks. Now I can appreciate even more how unusual it is that Esam was able to do this here.

    SPOILERS*
    You could see the game 4 Leo effect taking place, with Esam on 100%+ last stock whilst Leo was still fresh on his final stock. But then Esam gets that crazy confirm, ending Leo's tournament super early. Crazy stuff from both players, great set.

    Leo needs to get back to grinding Joker.
    I mean , his Byleth is nasty, but you see what he has to do when it comes to oppressive characters such as Pikachu.

      Amazing vertical and horizontal recovery. Combo game is nuts, kill confirms for days (one being a throw), pressure with t-jolt is infuriating and impossible to deal with, and he's fast....I hate Pikachu 😭😂
