Event Evo 2019

[KirbySquad101]

Not an upset, but Dank took a game off of Cosmos before he was eliminated.

He seemed to do well, but unfortunately, I think he got nervous after his win.

 

[Shaya]

Trust Evo to be both the (uni and personi)-fication of what's probably the best character in the game.


leave all the snakes.........................
alone

Is it whacking "day" or do we capitulate to the wise words of the Late Great and Lisa?

 

[NotLiquid]

That first game of Cosmos' set vs Dank was oddly close but the fact that he reverse 6-stocked him afterward makes me more convinced that Cosmos was generally not thinking straight for that first game.

 

[KirbySquad101]

There's been a lot of that going around, from what I noticed lol. Dark Wizzy 2-0'd Arma , but it looked like he was really struggling at first for both games.

Sparg0 2-0'd OkamiSalami , but ended up SDing twice in the first game.

Samsora 2-0'd Kusa , but almost lost the second game.

It looks like the classic EVO nerves are getting to a lot of people, it seems.

SK92 2-1 MuteAce

Biggest upset so far.

 

[Ffamran]

SK92 2-1 MuteAce

Biggest upset so far.

I looked up SK92 since I don't remember seeing that tag before and under Ultimate Falco. Apparently he was a Melee, Brawl, and PM Falco player? The only Ultimate videos I saw through a quick search was him mainly playing Fox, but there were a few recent, 1 month old, videos of him listed as playing Link and Wolf.

Unless this dude was secretly labbing Falco in Ultimate, then I have to see this set because that is so out there.

 

[Shaya]

SK92 is the legendary "shadow" of the West Coast Brawl Bird Legends (tm).
[The other being DEHF/Larry, of course].

Both placed top 7 at genesis1 and were timed out by meta knights (I'm pretty sure sk92 did as well, at least).

 

[KirbySquad101]

Corona17 sends 8BitMan and Ozone both to losers, two other notable upsets.

upsets are starting to ramp up - live update thread

 

[NotLiquid]

kept 2 - (?) Larry Lurr
Plup 2 - 1 MVD

 

[KirbySquad101]

Welp, Plup 2-1d MVD

Probably biggest upset yet, yikes.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Welp, Plup 2-1d MVD

Probably biggest upset yet, yikes.

Rotsuku 2-1 Void is now the biggest one...which is likely to be overthrown soon

EDIT. What did I just tell ya. Shogun 2-1 Cosmos

 

[NotLiquid]

Shogun 2 - 1 Cosmos

Well this is big

 

[KirbySquad101]

MastaMario eliminates Fatality 2-0

 

[The_Bookworm]

Everything is escalating rather quickly. Upsets are everywhere.

MastaMario eliminates Fatality 2-0

Unfortunate to hear, but I am not too surprised considering that Fatality was feeling rather ill lately.

 

[NotLiquid]

Rotsuku 2 - 1 VoiD

aaaaaaaaaaa

 

[The_Bookworm]

Another upsets I noticed:

huto wins over Prodigy
Masashi wins over ANTi
Pandarian wins over Sinji
Vintendo wins over Biddy
Mao wins over Dark Wizzy


Mario mains are off their game today it seems.

 

[Shaya]

Mr.R over Nairo 2-1 is a "bit" of an upset, although we all know Ramin's ranking/seeding was a bit under par.

 

[NotLiquid]

Stroder 2 - 1 MVD (Eliminated at 65th)
Mr. R 2 - 1 Nairo
Mao 2 - 0 Dark Wizzy
Abadango 2 - 0 NAKAT
Pandarian 2 - ? ESAM

 

[The_Bookworm]

Mr. R 2 - 1 Nairo

I personally find it funny that the Chrom main that finally defeats Nairo is not Rivers (who fought Nairo a bunch of times) but Mr.R.
Rivers, takes notes.

Abadango 2 - 0 NAKAT

I wouldn't really call it much of an upset considering that Abadango 3-0'ed NAKAT at Smash Factor 8.


Another upset:
Seven (?) 2 - ? Charliedaking to eliminate him from the tournament.
Edit: Skilly (?) 2 - ? Phantom to eliminate him from the tournament.

 

[KirbySquad101]

Yeesh, MastaMario 2-0s Dark Wizzy , eliminating him at 65th place.

 

[NotLiquid]

MastaMario 2 - ? Dark Wizzy

Dark Wizzy eliminated at 65th.

 

[The_Bookworm]

Nietono wins over Salem

 

[Cheryl~]

Nietono wins over Salem

Nietono actually used in that set and is presumably using solo Wario in this tourney from the sets ive seen of him.

 

[KirbySquad101]

Eim eliminates T in loser’s at 65th place.

 

[The_Bookworm]

First Zackray, then Kameme, then Abadango, and now Nietono. Why is Wario suddenly so popular among top Japanese players?

 

[NotLiquid]

Larry Lurr 2 - 1 Cosmos

Cosmos eliminated at 65th. That's an oof.

 

[The_Bookworm]

Kome 2 - ? MuteAce, eliminating him at 65th place.

I kind of saw this coming: so many talented players falling earlier in bracket than normal.

 

[The_Bookworm]

Abadango (don't know who he used) 2 - ? Zackray
Dragoomba 2 - ? NAKAT, eliminating him at 65th place.

 

[DJ3DS]

Abadango (don't know who he used) 2 - ? Zackray
Dragoomba (?) 2 - ? NAKAT, eliminating him at 65th place.

Dragoomba is a ROB.

 

[KirbySquad101]

Maister 2-0s VoiD , eliminating him at 49th place.

 

[Vyrnx]

Yo let's goooo kameme, 2-0 over Leo

 

[PK Gaming]

Did that just happen

Did Kameme just 2-0 MKleo

 

[The_Bookworm]

Did that just happen

Did Kameme just 2-0 MKleo

Kameme seems really hungry for another big placing at EVO after his EVO 2016 performance.

 

[KirbySquad101]

Dear lord everyone’s dropping like flies right now.

Maister 2-0s Puppeh , eliminating him at 33rd place.

 

[Iridium]

Seven pulls through to make the losers run of a lifetime and make top 32, all . Notably beat Prodigy along the way as well. Even better is the fact that he was 1712th seed.

Japan is ending both everyone else and itself apparently.

 

[Y2Kay]

Stroder just eliminated Lea from losers. Really tough luck for the frog at EVO.

 

[The_Bookworm]

Seven 2-? Prodigy, eliminating him at 49th place.
ScAtt 2-? Salem, eliminating him at 33rd place.
zaki eliminates Nicko at 65th place and Umeki at 49th place, before falling to ESAM for a respectable 33rd place.
Rotsuku (?) 2-? Sparg0, eliminating him at 33rd place.

View attachment 233470

Stroder just eliminated Lea from losers. Really tough luck for the frog at EVO.

This is Greninja Saga all over again. :/
I have heard other instances of top Greninja players fighting eachother in this bracket, usually between Lea, iStudying, and Stroder.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Raito 2-0 Shuton .

There is a very good chance we will have a Duck Hunt in top 8

 

[Rran]

God I love this game
