European Smash Ranking
As No. 8 in the world, it’s no surprise that Glutonny finished as No. 1 on the European Smash Ranking. Glutonny placed 1st at every European major he attended besides VCA 2019 and Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019. He only lost these tournaments because Leonardo “MkLeo” Lopez Perez was in attendance, meaning no one in Europe could stop him. Glutonny boasts wins over MkLeo, Samuel “Dabuz” Buzby, Shuto “Shuton” Moriya, Ishiguro “Raito” Tetsuya, and Yuta “Abadango” Kawamura.
In recent months, quiK has made a case for himself as one of the best Samus players in the world. He has taken multiple sets off of Glutonny, a feat few European players have accomplished. Outside of Europe, quiK has defeated players like Ezra Samsora Morris, Kengo “KEN” Suzuki, and Saleem “Salem” Young.
Space has made incredible strides, becoming No. 1 in the Netherlands and No. 3 on the European Smash Ranking. His best performance by far was at Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019. There, he defeated Oryon, Glutonny, and Takuto “Kameme” Ono en route to 4th place.
France, the Netherlands, and Germany clearly dominate the European Smash Ranking. The top 50 includes 16 French players, 12 Dutch players, and 10 German players. Not only do these regions dominate in the quantity of players, but also in the quality of their ranks. Every single member of the top 15 is from one of these three countries.
