Many of the best Smash Ultimate players in the world are gathering in Mexico City for Smash Factor X. Here’s everything you need to know about the major tournament.
In the aftermath of GOML, Sonic main Carlos ‘Sonix’ Pérez will be looking to maintain momentum coming off his impressive victory at Get On My Level where he only lost two games.
Meanwhile, Smash Factor 9 winner Leonardo ‘MkLeo’ Lopez Perez will be aiming to defend the crown as he bounces back from yet another disappointing result last week. Will a return to his home country be enough to unlock the GOAT we all know MkLeo can be?
Elsewhere, FaZe Clan’s Edgar ‘Sparg0’ Valdez is hoping to add another first-place finish under his belt as the rivalry between him and Japan’s acola continues as they compete for best player in the world.
Rounding out the big storylines, international invaders Glutonny, Shuton, Tea and Kameme could throw a big wrench into any possibilities for North America to pick up the win as Zomba, Maister, Tweek and MuteAce try to pick up their first Smash Factor Ws.
