Leffen overcomes underdog label and wins Ludwig’s $15,000 Smash Melee invitational

Super Smash Bros. Melee has such a deep pool of modern talent that it isn’t a guarantee to see names like Leffen at the top of the standings anymore. While TSM’s Swedish star is splitting his focus between multiple games, he overcame his underdog status to pull off a $15,000 Major win after beating Zain twice at the Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 5. 

Hosted by Ludwig and his team, LACS5 was the latest in the streamer’s invitational series, featuring many of the top names in Melee like Cody Schwab, Zain, aMSa, and Hungrybox. Leffen came in having only competed in two other Majors this year but walked away with his first title at that level since Battle of BC 4 in June 2023.
