Despite the MLG qualifiers being over, big tournaments are still happening. The big tourney this weekend is being held by the Michigan Smash community and will be featuring many top players, including 3 of the Fabled Five as well as many other players looking to brush up on their play before Evo and MLG.

The obvious players to look out for include P4K EMP Mew2King, C9 Mang0, and EMP Armada. It would be easy to assume that Mew2King will take this tournament handily, as he was able to beat Mang0 3-1 in their set at SKTAR this past weekend, but I would not be surprised to see Mang0 take this tournament to the bank. Mang0 is a prideful player, and he feels even more responsibility to represent as he is now playing for Cloud9, so he is going to be eager to come in and prove himself after placing third last week. Nobody is harder on Mang0 than himself, and I am certain that he will be playing to win this weekend.

That being said, I cannot discount Mew2King. M2K has been playing exceptionally recently, and I do not see that changing anytime soon. I do believe the finals match between the two players will be exceptionally more exciting, and will certainly be a match to watch. If I had to predict, however, I think Mew2King will still come out on top.

It is hard to guess how Armada will perform. He has not been performing as well as people have expected based on his play in previous years, but last week he proved that his Peach is still a high enough quality to be in the Fabled 5. He no doubt has been putting more work in with his main, so it is certainly possible for him to be less rusty this weekend, but I feel confident in saying that he will place third in this tournament behind his adversaries.

Other players to watch include AGC Axe, and many Canadian representatives such as EMG KirbyKaze, Kage the Warrior, and EMG Weon-X, RaynEX, and I.B. Each of these players are wild cards that may land a spot in the Top 8, but the players I am most anxious to watch are Axe and KirbyKaze. Each of these guys has amazing potential, and while I do not expect either of them to land a spot in the top 3 I know their matches will be exciting to watch.

Besides that, it will be interesting to see how the midwest performs. Michigan boasts that they have a dedicated community so it will be cool to see their best players compete against the Canadians and the top 3. All of the various talent ensures that Super SWEET will be an enticing tournament to watch.

Super SWEET will take place from 3p-12p on Saturday, June 7 and from 11a-10p on Sunday, June 8. You can watch the stream here.
