11/28/2023 0 Comments Byond genesisZain got signed by Golden Guardians shortly after winning Genesis 7. Since Genesis 7, Zain has gone 16-4 against the melee god. He also beat Hungrybox twice at Genesis 7 after entering with a 4-17 record against him. Zain had already won one Major before winning Genesis 7 in 2020, but Genesis was his first Supermajor, a term reserved for only the most prestigious tournaments. Why Genesis is Zain’s signature tournamentĮach of Zain’s previous two Genesis wins has been integral to Zain’s climb to become the world’s No. “Narratively, I don’t know what I fall under, like they were the Five Gods - I know people label me and Cody as ‘Documentary Kids.’ Doesn’t sound as a cool as a Melee god, but I’ll take it,” Zain said while laughing. He has a winning record against one of those gods, Joseph "Mang0" Marquez, and is nearly even against Juan “Hungrybox” Debiedma, the god he unseated with his No. 1 in the official SSBMRank or MPGR rankings. It was the first time somebody other than one of the Five Gods was ranked No. 1 in the official Smash rankings compiled by Panda Global. Sign up for the next Nerd Street tournament!Įven if Zain doesn’t win Genesis this year, he’s achieved enough to be mentioned in the same breath as the gods. “If I can go for six in a row, I’ll go for six in a row!” Even though he’s trying not to think about it, Zain is excited about the opportunity to achieve this legendary accomplishment, and even teased that he wants more. No other player has won more than one Genesis, which is one of the most prestigious annual Smash Melee tournaments. “But it would have like a really real effect.”Īrmada, one of the “Five Gods” of Melee, won Genesis 2, 3 and 4. “I try not to think about legacy right now while I’m playing,” Zain told Nerd Street. When the Golden Guardians player competes at Genesis 9 next weekend, he’ll be going for his third consecutive Genesis title, something only one of the Smash gods, Adam “Armada” Lindgren, has done. Zain “Zain” Naghmi is well aware of what another Genesis win would mean for his place in Smash Melee history.
