That ability is shown again on Mainstage. The top player on the planet beat Sparg0 with a 3-2 win over the Super Smash Bros. The Byleth mains path was difficult, with a close call against Cosmos and Tea in the main bracket. But after he has been able to survive the triumph of Elegant, he will be able to defend his crown. I won at stake in a really close match versus spargo. Im incredibly happy right now @T1 #t1win. T1 | MkLeo (@Mkleosb) November 15, 2021 Then Sparg0 dropped the line to losers after a 2-2 defeat by fellow Mexicanist Santiago Chag Perezs Palutena. In combination with his Pyra/Mythra and Cloud, Sparg0 swung through losers with a win over Armando Villalobos before breaking into the top ten of Ultimates. After six set run, the rising star flung out ESAM, Kola and Light, with a revenge win to eliminate Chag, a 3-0 win against Tea and a strong victory over Elegant to make the Grand Finals. @Sparg0ssb with a very strong 3-0 win – the perfect way to beat #Mainstage 2021 losers finals! https://t.co/gTvtiwxfa6 @EEvisu @KONEY @TKbreezy pic.twitter.com/LD4U4ZexGP Beyond the Smash @ MAINSTAGE (@TSmash) November 15, 2021 Sparg0 reacted quickly in the finals of their second-straight major, when he reacted to Leo. In a two-stock win, Sparg0 lost just one game with his Aegis, and resetting Leos Byleth in the bracket. LES GRAND FINALS ARE OFF AN EXCITING START! @sparg0ssb takes Game 1. The ‘Flash’ is beyond the mess (@Tsmash) November 15, 2021. In the postgame interview, Leo admitted he thought about swapping himself for the Aegis duo to run the Ditto matchup, but kept the mains instead of saying that Sparg0 was the best player with the character and would win. He took the round two after the reset grand inals and continued to stay very close to the game even from behind. https://clips.twitch.tv/TameSlipperyKimchiWholeWheat-tlri5iHLSXstQNqe As for each matchup, it was clear that Sparg0 played from a dominant stage position with a strong advantage; while Leo was more than comfortable waiting for awkward exchanges, so he could lose at the ledge or off stage. This was demonstrated several times, with Leo consistently punishing Sparg0s recovery even after being locked in a few impressive combos onstage. At last, the cynical end of the game began in which Leo broke a 100 percent record by defeating Sparg0. He could easily push the younger player off stage, get him to play more defensive, and put a strike on the deal with a perfectly timed Air Air. All the time I’ve SEEd @Mkleosb I am my #Mainstage2021 ULTIMATE CHAMPION!! pic.twitter.com/xh6GPlmGir. Wren’t I sat on MAINSTAGE (@BTSmash) November 15, 2021 This is the fifth straight major that Sparg0 made at least the top three, but he has yet to overcome the pressure of the main stage, falling to MKLeo, Tweek, and Light in each of those appearances. The prize for the ring was for Leo. This is her fourth big victory of 2021 offline era, and her third straight time in the class finishing up the top ten in order. Leo hasn’t finished behind yet at any event over the last year. As soon as he heads home to Mexico for the first time in a few months, he is going to take a bit longer to break the competitions. But he’ll be back with a headache in December for the CEO 2021 and the Smash World Tour 2021 Ultimate Championship.
