Consistency in results is a sign of a good game.As exciting as a rematch between these two legends would be; there are in fact other players. I mean, we're months away from Apex and it seems like some of us already have Mango vs. Armada as the GF. It's very likely to happen especially with the way they've both been performing as of late but I feel like it's wrong to just push aside all the other players.
In a way it's kind of sad how predetermined things are with tournaments. If it's a US tournament: Is Mango in the tournament? Mango is going to win. Or if it's a European Tournament: Armada is going to win. My point is that it comes down to two, three players that are more or less destined to win every major tournament. I kind of wish the controversy for "best player in the world" was expanded beyond just Mango, Armada, Hbox etc. etc. and included not even the top 5, but the top 10. I feel like this would encourage competitive play and get rid of the bull**** mentality of "trying for second" that many players who aren't Mango or Armada have aquired. Sadly, this is not the case and so with that I look forward to watching the continued saga of Mango vs. Armada.
The fact that there is such a skill gap even at the top shows how deep Melee is.
I personally prefer that to games like Marvel where a guy gets 2nd at EVO (Infrit) and loses to a no-name low tier team the very next week.
