After a three-day run, MKLeo has won the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tourney at EVO 2019.

Coming from the Loser’s side of the bracket, Joker-player MKLeo reset the bracket on Tweek’s Pokemon Trainer after being down 2 games to zero, and falling behind by two stocks in Game 4 of the first set. Then, MKLeo went on to win the championship by sweeping the second set in 3-0 fashion.

THE SHOW'S OVER! After an incredible show of skill coming out of Losers and resetting the bracket, @Mkleosb defeats Tweek 3-0 and is your #EVO2019 Super #SmashBrosUltimate champion! Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/5KEk9s09bi

Hello my beautiful Black Eagles, Blue Lions and Golden Deer! In this episode of NEP, we put on the boxing gloves and discuss microtransactions in gaming, why Fire Emblem: Three Houses is so damn good, and the wild mechanics with Dragon Quest Hero as he debuts in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We also have a chat about the new additions to Nintendo Switch Online and if they save the service or not, Ubisoft’s Chinese Rabbids game and the meager announcements from Nintendo and Tencent at ChinaJoy. Finally in our Listener Mail segment, we recommend JRPGs and give our brutally honest feelings about the Final Fantasy series and Kingdom Hearts series.

We hope you enjoy!

If you like what you’re hearing, you can support us by giving NEP a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. We would greatly appreciate if you could help us out! We’re very thankful for your support, and we thank you for listening.
