MomoCon’s Smash 4 Event To Feature ZeRo, Nairo, MKLeo, Fatality, and Abadango

MomoCon 2017 is slated to be another can’t miss Smash 4 event. In attendance will be top players, like Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios, Nairoby “Nairo” Quezada, Griffin “Fatality” Miller, Leonardo “MKLeo” Lopez Perez, and Yuta “Abadango” Kawamura.

The main event for the esports side of one of the fastest growing conventions in America will be the Smash 4 tournament. Each year, Smash has a strong showing at MomoCon, and this year will be no exception. It will all be commentated by the community’s own D’Ron “D1” Maingrette and Phil “EE” Visu.

Aside from Smash, MomoCon 2017 will host 34 other events with $15,000 worth of prizes. The games range from an Overwatch tournament all the way to BlazeBlue. Pokken was also provided a $1k pot bonus as one of the ten sponsored events by Evo. It has something for everyone and I haven’t even talked about the anime side of the convention…

Now back to Smash, MomoCon is clearly putting an emphasis on the Smash scene this year. With all the top players making the trip, it’s become a premier tournament. Winning this tournament will be a difficult task. Taking out the talented southern region players will be tough, but going through the gauntlet of elite skilled players feels impossible.

MomoCon’s competitive gaming side is starting to take off, and it’s become beneficial for so many developing esports scenes. Throwing 34 individual events shows MomoCon’s dedication to providing a quality event for the competitive video game fans in attendance.

Who takes the MomoCon 2017 trophy?

It’s tough to say, considering five players are capable of taking this tournament. The favorite will be Zero, as always, but MKLeo should be looked at as a legitimate threat. Abadango has also stayed consistently in the top five and continues to have strong results in Japan.
