Even though Team Liquid's Dabuz had a great deal of momentum heading into the Smash Ultimate Summit Grand Finals thanks to a breathtaking losers bracket run, MKLeo was able to continue the high level play that had got him into the championship match and was able to defeat Dabuz 3-0. It was an epic Super Smash Bros. match up between MKLeo's Lucina and Dabuz's Rosalina and Luma that had the thousands of viewers on the edge of their seats until the final conclusion had been decided.

The impressive victory at the Beyond the Smash Ultimate Summit tournament is another accomplishment on the resume of the talented Super Smash Bros. player that also includes the player's losers bracket victory run at Genesis 6 back in early February. With this championship behind him, MKLeo will no doubt be ready to take home another Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament win in the near future for Echo Fox, as the competitive life of the newest entry in the popular Nintendo fighting game franchise continues to mature.
