Sparg0 Wins Smash Ultimate Tournament GOML: Forever 2025; Sonix Still No Big Wins After Two Years

Edgar “Sparg0” Valdez has won Get On My Level: Forever, a premier Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament held in Toronto, Canada. A premier-class tournament is a tier above majors, which means that the competition is fiercer and the prize money higher.

The rivalry between Sparg0 and Carlos “Sonix” Pérez has existed ever since the two of them rose to prominence around 2023. These two players are considered two of the best in the world, with Sparg0 being the best Cloud player and Sonix being the best Sonic player.

Sparg0’s Smash Ultimate run at this tournament was nothing short of impressive. He lost early in the bracket at top 128, which meant that only one set loss would’ve eliminated him from the event. However, he clawed and persevered, which resulted in winning 10 straight sets to take the title home.

Sonix’s path was a lot more stable, never losing a single set in the whole tournament until his fated match with Sparg0 in the grand final. Sparg0 was able to beat Sonix 3-1, which prompted a bracket reset due to Sonix being dragged down to the loser’s bracket with him. The resulting match in the grand final reset was heartbreaking for Sonix, as a couple of mistakes resulted in him losing an otherwise very winnable game.

The tournament ended with a 3-2 win for Sparg0. Sonix walked home once more without a major or premier trophy. His last one was Coinbox IRL, which happened in 2023. There, he also fought Sparg0 in the grand final and was able to win the tournament from the loser’s bracket.
