Mango wins 'Super Smash Bros.' tournament The Big House 6
The best Super Smash Bros. players in the world threw down at the game's biggest tournament in the Midwest for a weekend full of upsets and close victories, crowning champions in Melee and Wii U singles and doubles at The Big House 6.
Mango defeated Armada in a close and intense grand finals match in Melee singles, winning The Big House for the third time and establishing a streak of taking first at every other Big House event. Armada won The Big House 5 last year but his Peach wasn't able to pull it out over Mango's Fox.
The Melee singles bracket was full of upsets. SilentWolf sent Mew2King to the loser's bracket in the second round of the winners bracket, only to lose to Ice. Ice defeated SFAT, then lost to Mango and Armada, placing third overall, which is a good result for the player who doesn't typically place in the top five of larger events.
