Genesis 6 was an amazing Super Smash Bros Ultimate event that had many hype moments surrounding it. However, some people have wondered who missed the event may wonder who earned the gold in the competition. That honor actually belongs to none other than Leonardo “MKLeo” Lopez from EchoFox.
MKLeo has won Genesis 6
MKLeo became the Genesis 6 champion after an exciting battle against VoiD in the event’s Grand Finals. This wasn’t an easy victory either, as the participant hailing from Mexico was actually recovering from Loser’s Bracket; In fact, MKLeo was eliminated from the Winner’s Bracket by Samsora during semifinals.
The EchoFox representative had his chance for revenge shortly after. MKLeo got another shot against Samsora during Loser’s Finals. After all was said and done, the finals match was to be determined between VoiD and MKLeo. You can watch his outstanding victory against Samsora in the video below:

Even while VoiD put up an amazing performance with Pichu; MKLeo’s Lucina proved to be way too much for the Winner’s Bracket leader to bear. In fact, the greatest highlight of the match was when Lucina broke Pichu’s shield with a Neutral B. It was a move that made the audience (and commentators) scream.
Losers Bracket? @Mkleosb says no problem. Congratulations to all of the competitors for an amazing showing & MkLeo for completing the Genesis 3-peat, becoming your #G6 #SmashBrosUltimate Champion!
