The Smash event with the biggest prize pool in community history ($159k) didn’t disappoint, giving those that tuned in a reminder of how good Ultimate<\/a> can be without the awful online delay, with Gavin “Tweek” Dempsey beating Leonardo “MkLeo” López in convincing fashion to take home the Ultimate Summit 3 trophy.<\/p>\n

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TSM FTX rep had been dealing with a bit of a character crisis, dabbling in Pokémon Trainer, Wario, Wolf, and more, with his play suffering, as a result, having a catastrophic showing at Ultimate Summit 2, ending last after losing a PT ditto<\/a> with William “Leffen” Hjelte. <\/p>\n

With time away from competition this past year and a half (and a few buffs<\/a> along the way), Tweek landed on Diddy Kong, a character he would describe as his “COVID gamble,” which ended paying off, despite an initial lukewarm start to his Summit 3 journey, losing the ditto to fellow Kong main Aaron Wilhite and dropping a set to Edgar “Sparg0” Valdez, to finish the group stages with a 1-2 record. <\/p>\n
