Don't Park on the Grass 2024, a Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament, just made history as the first to feature no previous major winners in its final four for over 20 years.
Moky, Aklo, Nicki, and Joshman were the four finalists. Nicki used Ice Climbers to beat Joshman's Fox in the losers bracket and subsequently lost to Aklo's Fox in the losers finals.
The Fox on Fox violence continued as Aklo and moky faced off in the finals both using the fighter, but ultimately, moky emerged victorious, beating Aklo 3-1.
Moky has been active since 2015 and is a member of Moist Esports, as is fellow finalist Joshman. This is moky's only major win, and he's the first new winner to be crowned at a major since Tournament Go 6 which took place in August, 2004, as noted by Liquipedia.
I played a lot of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with my flatmates when it launched back in 2018 and we got so sweaty that it nearly tore us apart, but I'm still in awe at the skill displayed by the pros.
