There has been a breakthrough with Leffen’s visa and now we have another pro-Smasher who is finally able to compete outside of his home country. It has been announced by the host of Get On My Level 2016, TorontoJoe, that Mexican wunderkind Hydra Gaming’s MK Leo has attained a Canadian visa and will be able to attend his first tournament outside of Mexico.
The 15-year-old Meta Knight main has been causing upset after upset in Mexican tournaments, consistently coming first or second whenever he enters, defeating other top Mexican players like Hyuga and his own brother Javi along the way. Leo really made waves when he first beat Dutch Sheik Mr R at Smash Factor 4 and then a year later, he defeated another notable Sheik in the form of Vinnie in the finals of True Combo, cementing his position as Mexico’s best and potentially best Meta Knight in the world.
Leo’s placing at GOML 2016 will be the true decider as to whether he is truly a top 10 player, or if his success is restricted to only in his homeland. With other top players like Mew2King, Ally, Nairo and Mr R in attendance, Get On My Level 2016 is looking to be an absolute belter of a tournament for Super Smash Bros for Wii U.
GOML 2016 is running from May 20-22 in Ontario, Canada and is hosted by EvenMatchupGaming. Check out their Twitter and the smash.gg page for any upcoming news on other top players attending the tournament.
