This weekend we had PAX, a tournament held in the North East, that saw many competitive players attending it. Notably, Mew2King, Zero, ANTI, Vinnie, Void, Foe, and many more. The event was streamed by VG Bootcamp, and many of the matches were posted on their youtube page. This event was one of the larger ones that we see, at least in this time of the year, and had a pool of over $10,000 to be given away. In the end Zero ended up taking the tournament, without ever even losing a set. He won over Void in the grand finals, Zero used Diddy Kong and Void used Sheik. Zero won the set, 3-1 over Void.
After watching the grand finals set, I want to discuss just how high level of playing this was. I will link you to the video of the grand finals if you haven't seen it already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNgitRHw7SI
Now Zero is probably considered a Shiek main, but he doesn't play Shiek dittos usually, and instead opts to go Diddy Kong. His playing in this set was phenomenal, so great that it has convinced me to try to solo main Diddy Kong for a little while and improve my playing of the character. Zero was able to in one game come back after being down 64% on his last stock, and then immediately was able to get void to the exact same percent that he was at, and then close out the game. Zero was able to win surprisingly easily for how amazing of a player Void is. I think it just truly shows how advanced Zero really is in our current meta game.
