Guilty Gear Strive at EVO 2023
With major points for the Arc World Tour at stake, there was a lot riding on these finals. The tournament didn’t disappoint though. While tons of great players showed up, Leffen definitely proved his strength in GGS right now.
He started his run off in the semi-finals for the winners bracket. Here he went through to the Final with little resistance from Tyurara. There he faced Korean player Daru_I-No. This was a tougher match, but Leffen ultimately secured his spot at the Grand Finals with a 3-1 win. That’s where things get a bit more anti-climactic! Leffen had an undefeated run through the winner’s bracket and things only smoother for him from there.
Leffen won the Grand Finals up against NBNHMR, winning with a 3-0 score. Even in each set, Leffen went 2-0, then 2-1 twice sticking with Happy Chaos the whole time. NBHNMR had fought his way up through the Losers Bracket since the semi-finals. However, ultimately Leffen secured his status as the EVO winner for Guilty Gear Strive. He can now add his achievements in Strive to his status as one of the best Melee players of all time.
