ESAM vs MkLeo - Winners' Semifinals: Ultimate Singles - Shine 2019 | Pikachu vs Joker 

Esam is the Westballz of Ultimate. Can beat anyone but can also be beaten by anyone.

ESAM loses semis vs MKLeo, proceeds to applaud him and hug him at the end of the match. What a guy.

2:59 Pikachu combo sounding like "We Will Rock You" by Queen

this match was fun as hell to watch. both of them were just going top speed all over the stage the whole time, no camping coming from these two!

6:10 You know things are serious when esam uses his real eyes

This is the kind competitive smash I love watching. Top level play, no camping or boring strats, mad respect for each other, it’s just awesome

This set is exactly why i love ESAM , such an intense set , he really did amazing , he is totally capable of beating Leo with some adjustments

I love how positive Esam is even in the face of the best Ultimate player in the world.

Two most positive dudes in the Smash community

why isnt esam wearing headphones... cuz he wants to hear all the crowd cheering for him to beat mkleoXD

That Dair to Bair instead of Up Smash for the DI mixup was super clean on Leo’s part. 9:57

I love ESAM, what an awesome player with great sportsmanship.

Did you see when esam pounded his chest and went super saiyan? his hair even turned blonde, crazy!

16:49 looks like I'm maining Pikachu...

This be like some type of Goku vs. Frieza type match

2:36 i don't know why, but that's probably my favorite fist bump I've seen between two players

Oh man! Game 2 I could feel that one ESAM. Of course leo would get that tech tho. ESAM is such a good sport tho. Mad respect for the both of these dudes. Truly having fun doing what they love

you already know twitch chat going crazy throughout the whole set

this commentating was top tier

i was looking forward to this match for so long,ggs to both players they did amazing.

ESAMもMkLeoもすごく良い人そう 買ってるのにスマブラほとんどやった事なくて動画ばっかり見てるけどそんなやつでも興奮する試合でした nice game!

Love how happy ESAM looks giving Leo the handshake. He knows he played great, just not great enough.

This was such a good-ass set. Amazing, interactive, rapid-fire play by both players. FANTASTIC commentary. Peak Ultimate.

Two of the best characters controlled by two of my favorite players. This is sick!

18:23 “exit stage left” god tier commentary

Never seen someone this dominant so loved, goes to show how awesome leo is :)

Two of the nicest guys, two of my favorite characters in this game, and one of my favorite characters in general wins! Such a great match!

I feel like Esam might be the only non-top 3 player who can beat Leo. If he got a little more consistent he would be sooooo good.

When ESAM is in his zone, he can beat anyone. If he played like this always, he would def be top 10

ESAM seems like a really friendly player. I don't watch these often so correct me if I am wrong, but to me he looks like a good sport.

Esam is the prime example of how a FGC competitor should be. Works hard, good sportsmanship, and to top it off he makes good content and has a colorful personality

This match was exiting the entire time. Very epic.

One of the best showings of pure skill by both players I've ever seen in ultimate.

I can't believe leo even went joker, this matchup is SO bad. He played off his mind to win this set. Esam played great too. This is definitely the best set of the tourney so far

Potential Spoilers! Don't read the comments section if you want to avoid them. MKLeo. Wow. I am looking forward to watching him in Grand Finals. He is the the undisputed best competitive player in Ultimate. Nevertheless, he is also a truly nice and friendly guy. I was able to meet and talk with him earlier this year and I was impressed. I am cheering for you Leo. Even though you may never read this comment, I hope you know how many people genuinely look up to you. Even though you live a busy life with Smash, I will be praying for your personal journey, health, and travels, as well as for your family. Until we meet again, Trey

My favorite ultimate players in this match but I was really rooting for ESAM. He is just awesome.

This is the match I've been waiting for.

Wow. Insane top level play. The speed of their moves and execution is extraordinary.

broooo this was the best match ive ever seen. The commentary. The level of play. This was amazing

I love these 2 commentators, they make this fun educational and fun to watch.

I haven’t watched this vid yet but before I start, Pikachu is probably one of jokers worst matchups so I wanna see how Leo can overcome this

Esam is one of my favorite players. His optimism is so inspiring and fun.

This was super entertaining to watch!

12:04 That was a clutch up air to clank with Leo’s Eigaon. Really nice from ESAM.

this was the 1st comp match I've ever watched. damn this was intense

Man this was hype!

ESAM makes the scene so much more exciting with his high level pikachu pick. Always a pleasure watching him play.

Esam試合終わった後自分から笑って拍手してハグするってホントにいい人だなw

Esam has the best attitude ive ever seen on a human being

So fun watching Esam play with confidence!

Good commentating, great set. Leo is on another level

One of the best sets I have seen in this game

This was a really good set

This match was legendary.

Win or lose, I can watch Esam's Pikachu play all day. amazing what he's done with this character

Npw THIS was a smash match. Watching MK Leo and ESAM go toe to toe is just top level smash. As a pikachu main l love watching ESAM nail the competitive scene and as a smash lover l love to watch Leo collect the check with Joker. l hope l can join them some day

Uh, when I was watching this in the stream, I was so nervous that I didn't even noticed that Leo was winning pretty comfortable at that last stock.

WHOA that was super close!

When its that close, you can't even feel bad, holy shit Esam

Great match to both. Big ups to Esam

This was the best set of the night

def one of my favorite pro matches

イーサムいい奴すぎるし、解説で何回もこのレオを倒したかめめがすげえって話ししててなんか嬉しい

Two of the best to do it

Esamって本当に強くてmkleo相手でもここまで戦えるのに、大会で成績あまり残せないなのが残念

Excellent work for the comentators.

Esam is such a homie. He’s so humble.

Joker: Arsen activates* "Now I'm motivated!" Lmaoo

looking back on all of leos matchups this was definitely the only time he had a good chance of losing

The sportsmanship on Esam! Always commendable

Like i said leo doesn't lose to the same person all the time. I gotta say though ESAM was close. Figures since he's destroyed other joker players. He has secured his spot for 9th, but i wonder if he can keep going. He has to fight tweek next, who he has beaten before at genesis 6. That was long ago so who knows if ESAM can handle tweek now. I'm excited to see. I like how leo stayed with joker. So much for practicing his secondary. Actually, i thought leo was going hero this tourney...

what a great match

Leo is so fun to watch . he's soo goood

Super fun match.

nice fight!👍🏻

Phenomenal set. I'm really impressed by ESAM's sportsmanship. He took that L with Grace and honor. Same for MKLeo with his W. Congratulations to them both for first and second place!

This is the smash bros. dream match. 2 top players, 2 fast technical characters, blinding speed, insane combos, and nothing but respect for the opponent.

ESAMさん好き

mkleo really is my favorite to watch. esam did amazingly as well, its so rare for mkleo to be put in such a tight spot game 4!! great match. i do wonder why the previous pichu mains didnt want to switch over to pikachu though 🤔

love both these players.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMIIIIIIIIING

Love watching esam, great player and an even better sport

Its over 9000!!!! Damn fight!

Esams such a cool guy with the respect after the set

Insane match. This is the reason Esam is my favourite player.

ESAM可愛すぎ

I like Esam and Leo's interactions between the games

Esam and Mkleo are such great players man.

Those marvel reference were on point: hidden missiles, Virgil with X-factor

People think Leo is actually good at Joker, think again what makes Leo good is exceptional understanding and predictions of opponents moves. And the best thing about Joker is that it’s an extremely versatile character that can counter everyone

Game starts at 2:47

was so nervous for esam im not even mad he lost. This matchup is gonna be a classic

That was intense as hell holy shit.

That last stock was freakishly dominant. Leo unlocked Ultra Instinct and SSB Evolution at the same time.

GG

This reminds me of the Zer0 versus Mr. R set at royal flush

Such a fast pace game

ESAM大好き❤️🇯🇵

the way leo recovered after getting triple backaired was crazy

ESAM wasn't doing the last bair offstage because if they're DIing in, you can up-air up-air Thunder and spike them
