MkLeo vs Sonix - the Battle of SSBU Juice Box #27

The number of fighters in Smash Bros. Ultimate and their diverse abilities make each esports tournament absolutely unpredictable. Even if we see almost the same names each week at The Box: Juice Box, the fighting show remains super exciting, and in these ever-changing situations, different players have their chance to shine bright.

Maister got his portion of glory at the previous Juice Box #26. But this time, he was defeated by Leonardo “MkLeo” Lopez and fell into the Losers Bracket after the Winners Semi-Final. Then three finals were played by MkLeo and Sonix. And what a fight each of them was!

Please, take your time to enjoy Super Smash Bros. Ultimate esports of the highest level.

MkLeo played two Smash characters in the Winners Final - Sephiroth and Meta Knight. Both were incapable of defeating Sonic of Sonix, so MkLeo had to win the Losers Final (3:0 against Ned and Pokémon Trainer) to return to the Grand Finals.

It seems like MkLeo gained some new skills before the Grand Final. He looked much stronger and won two matches against Sonic. Congratulations!
