In Fighting News (42:37): APEX 2015 has finished and man was it intense. Alliance’s Armada faced off against EG’s PPMD in the Melee tournament. For the entire series PPMD was doing terrific with predicting Armada’s moves and getting grab juggles on him, but Armada managed to stay in the game by keeping PPMD off the ground. It went to the final game 2-2 with PPMD playing Marth against Armada’s Fox. In the end PPMD managed to prevail, netting him the $7,228 prize. While not as much coverage was given to doubles matches, we will note that Mew2King and HungryBox won the doubles tournament over Armada and Android.
