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 In the final bracket, Tweek did not waver, with a character pick that suits his frantic and high tempo style to overwhelm his opponents, even players like Leo who usually thrive in this environment, he ran past the Evo 2019 champion in winners quarters, Tyler “Marss” Martins in semis, and Sparg0 in winners finals, only dropping a game in the process.<\/p>\n .@TweekSsb<\/a> IS MOVING ONTO #UltimateSummit<\/a> 3 GRAND FINALS!<\/p>\n But first, can we talk about this? 😵💫 pic.twitter.com\/Jyvr8VcEk2<\/a><\/p>\n — Beyond the Smash (@BTSsmash) August 30, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n\n
