Crown the Third: Smash Ultimate tournament streams, schedule, players, more
CrownOnly two weeks after FaZe Sparg0 emerged victorious at Battle of BC, the world’s new number one player will be looking to fortify his place on top at Crown the Third.
Sparg0 has ripped through the Smash scene recently, winning back-to-back P-Tier events. First, he made history at Kagaribi 10 by being the first non-Japanese player to win a Japnese major, and followed that up by cruising to victory at BOBC.
While Steve superstar Acola, the definitive second-best player, won’t be in attendance at Crown, the event will feature numerous elite pros vying to capture glory and eventually dethrone Cloud main Sparg0.
This event is looking like it will be a tough one for the Mexican pro as rivals such as Moist esports’ Light and Lumionisity’s Tweek are seeded to face him in Top 8. As such, this will be a major proving ground for all three.
The stacked super major will also feature the GOAT himself, MkLeo, looking to bounce back from a rough few events along with some stars from Japan with Ken, Shuton and Tea making the trip over.
Spicing up the competition are some players on the come-up and could throw a serious wrench in the bracket. Sonix and Kurama will both be in attendance. The Sonic and Mario mains have been rising up the ranks for a bit and could make very far runs.
How to watch Crown the Third
An official stream has yet to be announced for Crown, but last year’s event was streamed on BTS, so it’s possible the 2023 installment will, as well.
