James “Duck” Ma Becomes First Super Smash Bros. Melee Player for Denial eSports

After a very short time with Melee It On Me, Samus player James “Duck” Ma has been picked up by Denial eSports as their first Super Smash Bros. Melee player. This is Denial’s first foray into Smash, as they are primarily known for fielding teams for shooters like Halo, Call of Duty and Rainbow Six: Siege, as well as for MOBAs like Smite and Heroes of the Storm. With that shooter pedigree, it makes sense they pick a player who known to be a crack shot with Samus’ Charge Shot.

Duck is currently ranked 17th in the world on the MIOM Global Rankings, but his placings have been getting better and better the last few tournaments, placing just shy of top 8 at this year’s Evo and getting 7th at WTFox 2 before that. With Shine being his next tournament, Duck now has the might of the Denial Wolf Pack on his side–which should lead him to bigger and better things in the near future. This duck is running with the wolves now.
