Following a year and a half since the last LAN Melee Summit and an online version that lacked the atmosphere and level of play that makes the invitational so unique, Smash Summit 11<\/a>, the tournament with the biggest prize pool in the community’s history<\/a>, didn’t disappoint, with Joseph “Mang0” Marquez taking a historic win against Zain Naghmi. <\/p>\n

Summit 11 was a jam-packed event filled with two qualifying rounds and a double-elimination bracket, giving us plenty of offline Melee to enjoy, but none better and more memorable than the 10-game grand finals between arguably the two best players in the world at the moment.<\/p>\n

Mang0, who was put in the loser’s bracket Justin “Plup” McGrath early in the bracket, turned the intensity up to 11 and tore through the competition, which included the likes of Kurtis “moky” Pratt, Edgard “n0ne” Sheleby, Cody “iBDW” Schwab, Juan “Hungrybox” Debiedma, and a rematch against Plup, before meeting Zain in grands. <\/p>\n
