Golden Guardians expands Smash Melee roster, signs aMSa one day after losing Zain

The adage of first being the worst and second being the best doesn’t typically apply in actual competitive environments. However, with Golden Guardians losing the top Super Smash Bros. Melee to free agency, the organization quickly rebounded by signing the second-ranked player in the world, Masaya “aMSa” Chikamoto.

This is the first time aMSa has been sponsored by an esports org outside Japan since his Melee career began in 2013 as he took the world by storm at Evo. It also marks the end of his decade-long run as a VGBootCamp player—though he will remain with Red Bull with this move.
