Love ludwig repeatedly saying televised instead of telegraphed

This was an incredible set, so many exciting moments

10:42 Kurama went crazy on this combo, my favorite thing outta this set. He's so good, especially watching it live got me very hyped

It's crazy how precise they are, the position and movement options are just great.

I was holding my breath so much during that match

These top players have nerves of steel. Even as a spectator, the tension is palpable

Don’t know him in person or anything, but so happy for kurama. Every time I’ve watched him he’s been impressive and this is the run he needed to be considered among the top of the top again. Cool to see someone who was so good so young be back at the top. Hope he carries this momentum forward and travels more.

MAJOR props to Kurama!!! What an amazing Performance!!! The only person to take a game from Leo!!! Can't wait to see Kurama play again!!! Congrats to the GOAT!!! MKLEO!!!!

Damn, this match was very intense

One of the most jaw dropping sets I’ve ever watched in smash, and I used to watch mewtwo king dominate melee

honestly this is some of the best mario gameplay i think we've seen all year cause beating swordies with mario is not easy

This set gave me a fucking heart attack.

GG to both players !

It’s funny how Byleth was considered bad but now people are mad about how good Byleth is. Oh how the times change.

third set was amazing, but this (12:26) was a beautiful robbery, well done sir.

The commentary here was the best ever

Wild how Kurama's best accomplishment this tournament isn't even a set win when he's beaten multiple top 10 players Kurama's a legend and yet MKLeo is still way beyond that

I was hoping for Kurama to win or for Leo to win 3-0 so he could continue his undefeated streak for the whole tourney but still a great set

Kurama is now even in sets with Leo. Let that sink in

The commentary is top tier

Game 1 gave flashbacks of frostbite 2020

Kurama letting every1 remember why they all called him a prodigy

This video is so good

Top10 Ultimate is so volatile and I love it.

10:42 is my favorite casting moment of all time. Like holy shit imagine if it killed this would be THE smash ultimate clip.
