Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. Echo Fox and Most Valuable Gamings Jason Mew2King Zimmerman brought the heat to the Clutch City Clash in Houston, Texas, taking out many veteran players in Super Smash Bros. Melee to finish in first place.Mew2Kings top-eight run was dominated by California powerhouses. He first had to go against Tempo Storms Johnny S2J Kim, known for his aggressive Captain Falcon that has the tendency to take out opponents with one clean combo. Mew2King was able to eke by in game five with a clean finish. He then moved onto winners finals to take on Counter Logic Gamings Zachary SFAT Cordoni. That winners finals set was also incredibly close, but ended up going in favor of Mew2King.Both opponents proved to be formidable in Mew2Kings eyes. Its a tie between S2J and SFAT, he said. They both took me to game five, and it was a close last game.After getting sent to losers, SFAT clawed his way back up by defeating the ever-present Cloud9 Smasher, Joseph Mango Marquez. SFAT had actually defeated Mango twice that tournament, first in winners semi-finals and then again in losers finals.Grand finals, however, were even more dominant for Mew2King. He defeated SFAT by taking three games to one, preventing a bracket reset. Im confident in the Marth/Fox matchup, said Mew2King. I know it pretty well and Im always, like, experimenting new things, but I also have fun playing the matchup. Andd its not like its something that Im like unfamiliar with, so Im just confident in general.ddddddddddddEven if theres a chance Ill lose, Im never really not confident in that matchup.After Mew2Kings Echo Fox sponsorship earlier this May, hes continued to stay dominant in Melee. He most notably took first at Apex 2016, but really its his doubles placing that are worth commending. In 2016 alone hes taken first in doubles at ten tournaments, giving him one of the strongest doubles records around.While most players like to carry the momentum of one win to the next tournament, Mew2King doesnt have the same mentality. Momentum doesnt exist, he said. It only exists if you think it exists.But there is one thing Mew2King will be taking into next weeks Super Smash Con. The main difference is that I just drink more water, remarked the champion on his new diet. Laughing, he said On average I try to eat better, but last night I had a bunch of cookies.While Mew2King may not believe in carrying momentum between tournaments, he does want to use this win as justification to stream more on Twitch. Building up a strong Twitch following seems to be Mew2Kings next goal, and if he continues his dominant 2016 tournament placings, viewers should follow. ' ' '
