MKLeo holds the crystal trophy aloft and we bid farewell to Evo 2019, James Chen apparently not taking the last commentator position to send us off in tears as is traditional - but there should be at least one ritual we can count on momentarily, if Victory "Spooky" Fontanez is still in the house.

Grand Finals (Reset): MKLeo 2: Tweek 0: We're in a reverse of the earlier situation now without the benefit of a bracket reset filler, Tweek definitely on the backfoot and Leo still asserting his dominance until Tweek finally lands a heavy Charizard hit and takes the first stock. Tweek still up one stock after 2 minutes but Leo jumps down and hits a reflect to send Charizard off-screen, 2:2. Match still even after another minute but Arsense catches Charizard napping on a edgeguard and sends him on his way again. If Tweek can't figure this out here's gone - Leo dancing with death at 172% damage - nuked offscreen with a heavy Chrizard slash again to put it at 1:1, but Squirtle's at 101 % on one stock left - Leo waiting in centre-stage, trying to bait Tweek in so Leo can fully convert to the tournament point takedown - an unsafe Change nearly sends Charizard off-stage but he survives with good DI, but it's too much, he can't take it, he can't keep up this offence and Leo lands a Arsene-powered spike to blast Tweek's final stock into the depths. MKLeo is your Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Evo 2019 Champion!
