Tweek & Nairo faced a couple of scares before top 12. They dropped games to two teams in pools: Christi “Chia” Korsak & Jinny “FROOT” B. and Scot “SMB” Burnett & Ricky “LingLing” Gorritz. However, Nairo & Tweek beat Yatiyaña “yeti” Schaper & Brett “8BitMan” Esposito 2-0 in Winners Quarters.
Tweek & Nairo defeated double Peach team Ezra “Samsora” Morris & Antony “MuteAce” Hoo in Glitch 7 Doubles Winners Semis. Then, in Winners Finals, they earned a 3-1 victory over Rasheen “Dark Wizzy” Rose & Pariz “Light” Ramirez. Dark Wizzy & Light retaliated with a 3-0 victory in the first set of Grand Finals. However, Tweek & Nairo took the final five-game set in order to win the whole tournament.
Though they hadn’t teamed together before Glitch 7, Tweek & Nairo have individually excelled in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Doubles. Tweek has previously won significant Doubles tournaments with Tyler “Marss” Martins and Brian “Cosmos” Kalu. Nairo has won Doubles tournaments with Cosmos and Dark Wizzy.
