​Boston's first major boasted more than a thousand entrants this past weekend. Shine 2016, organized by Big Blue eSports, was home to upsets, big plays, and the return of an old champion. Here's a list of the best moments.

8. Zealous5000 Defeats Wobbles in Round 2 Pools

​Devin "Zealous5000" Ou sent Robert "Wobbles" Wright to losers bracket in round two pools. Zealous5000 is ranked 7th in New Jersey, upsetting the rank 32 Ice Climber player from Texas.

Zealous5000 lost to Ryan "The Moon" Coker-Welch 0-2 in the finals of his pools and later​ lost to Daniel "Tafokints" Lee 3-2 in the lower bracket of the top 48. While he couldn't make it farther in the bracket, Zealous5000 showcased the talent of the New Jersey scene.

7. Plup Plays Fox

You would think that ​Justin "Plup" McGrath would keep playing Sheik after his amazing EVO 2016 run. However, Plup pulled out a surprise pick, turning to Fox for Shine.

Most notably, he used Fox against both ​Zachary "SFAT" Cordoni and ​Joseph "Mang0" Marquez. He showed promise with the space animal, but lost both sets 2-3.

Before, Plup would sometimes use Samus instead of Sheik, but at Shine 2016 he's made the statement that his Fox is tournament ready and that he's willing to stick with it.

6. dizzkidboogie Beats Silent Wolf

In round two pools Kyle "dizzkidboogie" Athayde upset Otto "Silent Wolf" Bisno 2-0. Silent Wolf hasn't entered a tournament since Emerald City III, which was in June. The last major he entered was Smash Summit 2 in April. His return caused excitement and high expectations, however, the rank 11 Fox main was upset by a rank 84 Ice Climber.

His current rating is a bit of a disguise though. dizzkidboogie has had several high placements in 2016. His wobbles won't be stopped anytime soon.

5. Mang0's Crispy Combo to End Plup's Run

This ones a flashback to ​Smash Summit 2, where Mang0 ended Plup's run with a nasty combo that quickly reached the top of the /r/smashbros subreddit.

This time Mang0 had the sure lead and Plup wrestled to keep up. Mang0 secured match-point with a platform shine combo, mixed with a laser up-tilt to catch Plup off-guard. Mang0 followed up with a soft nair into a spike to take the stock.

Throughout the entire match, Mang0's combo game never let up, but he saved the best for last. Here's the ​full set VOD.

4. Mang0 Gives Up in Losers Finals

SFAT defeated Mang0 once again, just like he did at Clutch City Clash. But the loss was sad for Mang0 nation. SFAT's momentum was overbearing after getting shine gimped twice within the first minute. Mang0 put himself in a terrible recovery position and SFAT punished it like he should-with a shine.

In addition, all hopes of a Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman and Mang0 grand final were dashed. SFAT's upset over Mang0 is a mental victory too. He kept his composure and the god couldn't.

3. SFAT Reverse 3-0's Mang0 in Losers Final

Even more stunning about Mang0's loss to SFAT is how it all began. ​Mang0 was up 2-0 in the set. In game three, Mang0 managed to get a stock lead over SFAT. In this scenario, the gods are capable to wither away their opponent's momentum through consistent play. The gods know that they can win, but this is not one of those moments.

SFAT turned it up and beat Mang0, then again on Dreamland, and again on the Dreamland runback to win the set. ​

If it wasn't known before, it's known now that SFAT can beat gods even when behind. It's another mental victory that SFAT will carry over for The Big House 6.

2. SFAT Conquers His Demon

​SFAT overcame his struggle against Juan "Hungrybox" DeBiedma with a 3-1 victory. With the help of his makeshift coach, James "Duck" Ma, SFAT beat another god. He has now defeated three out of five gods, with Adam "Armada" Lindgren and Kevin "PPMD" Nanney remaining. SFAT is on a mission to win a major and he's getting a lot closer by taking down Hungrybox.

Hungrybox showed some salt after the match, but he deleted the ​tweet soon after.

1. The Return of the King

​Mew2King finally ended his major victory drought this weekend by double eliminating SFAT in Winners Finals 3-1 and Grand Finals 3-0. He came back from a two stock deficit in the grand finals and stole SFAT's momentum away. He won the next two games decisively to become Shine 2016's champion.

It's rare for Mew2King to win a tournament that has more than one god in attendance these days. SFAT inadvertently helped Mew2King avoid both gods, who had good chance of beating him.

For now, Mew2King can breathe easy. His Clutch City Clash victory earlier in the month, and now Shine, is a nice buff to his trophy case.
