Adam Lindgren (born 28 March 1993), known by his handle Armada, is a Swedish professional ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' player from Gothenburg. He is a two-time champion of Apex and champion CEO in 2014. He finished 4th at EVO 2013, 3rd at EVO 2014, 1st at EVO 2015 and runner-up to Joseph "MaNg0" Marquez at MLG 2014. He is considered to be the highest ranked player from 2011 to 2013. Lindgren uses Fox and Peach, and formerly used Young Link as a secondary character. His rise to fame was with Peach and is still considered by far the best Peach in the world. He is also considered a 2 vs. 2 specialist. Lindgren's other nickname is the Swedish Sniper, which comes from his use of Pit's light arrows in ''Project M'' and, less notably, Peach's turnips in ''Melee''. Lindgren is currently the smasher with the largest prize check in a Melee tournament with a total of $11,214.00 earned at EVO 2015. This title was formerly held by Christopher "PC Chris" Szygiel. ==Gaming career== Lindgren started his gaming career in 2003 competing in the Swedish Nintendo Championship.〔(Armada_ comments on Armada here, AKA the EVO champ for Melee, AMA time ). Reddit.com (22 July 2015). Retrieved on 2015-10-04.〕 Armada came to prominence in 2007 finishing 4th at The Renaissance of Smash 4, his first national tournament. Seven months later, he finished 3rd at Epita Smash Arena 2, the largest tournament in Europe at the time, defeating top ranked Japanese player, Masashi, before losing to Ryota "Captain Jack" Yoshida. Each passing year, Lindgren was ranked progressively higher. In July 2011, Armada won the major tournament at the time, GENESIS 2, defeating number one ranked player, MaNg0. Lindgren remained undefeated for two years until EVO 2013 where he lost the title and 1st rank back to MaNg0. After Apex 2013, Armada announced his retirement from competitive ''Melee'' although he did return to compete in EVO 2013, where he placed 4th, losing to PPMD 0–2 in winners' bracket and being eliminated by Mango 0–2 in losers' semis. He returned to the scene a year later, with B.E.A.S.T being his first tournament back. Lindgren won Apex 2014's ''Project M'' title defeating Mew2King in grand finals. He along with Zimmerman, Marquez, Kevin "PPMD" Nanney, and Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma, are considered to be the "Five Gods" of ''Melee''.〔 On 6 November 2014 he left Empire Arcadia and became sponsored by professional gaming team Alliance. At EVO 2014, Armada used Young Link as a counterpick against Hungrybox, who chose Falco as his counterpick. After convincingly defeating him in Game 1, Hungrybox switched to Jigglypuff and took both games 2 and 3 to take the set and move on to Grand Finals. Armada then had to face the best Pikachu player in the world, Axe, who just came out of an infamous 4-stock against Silent Wolf.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k3EThLc-i0〕 Axe took an intense game 1 from Armada. Armada then convincingly took game 2. In the third game, it came down to a last stock, last hit situation. Armada barely took the last game, moving on to Loser's Semifinals. Armada convincingly beat PPMD 2-0, but lost to Hungrybox 2-3 in Loser's Finals. EVO 2014 was won by Mango over Hungrybox.〔http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/EVO_2014/Finals〕 Lindgren finds ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' considerably different from ''Melee'' and feels that he need to spend more time playing it. Since 2015, Armada has switched from maining only Peach to both Peach and Fox in tournaments. He cites Fox's ability to put mental pressure on opponents as a reason for this change. 〔(AMHenry comments on Armada here, AKA the EVO champ for Melee, AMA time ). Reddit.com (22 July 2015).

Armada was the EVO 2015 ''Melee'' champion after defeating Hungrybox in the finals. By winning EVO, Lindgren received the largest single paycheck ever awarded in a ''Melee'' tournament. After winning EVO 2015, ''Melee It On Me'' (MIOM) ranked Armada as the best ''Melee'' player for the 2015 Summer SSBMRank, ahead of Leffen and Mango.〔(Melee It On Me – SSBMRank 2015 Top 25 1 ). Meleeitonme.com. Retrieved on 4 October 2015.〕 At Dreamhack London, Armada started off the Top 16 with a 3-0 win over Spain's Overtriforce. He then beat Sheik main and Holland's best player Amsah in Top 8. He then beat Falco main Westballz in both Winner's Finals and Grand Finals, both 3-0, to win a free trip to Dreamhack Winter. Westballz also earned a free trip by placing second.〔http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/DreamHack_London_2015/Singles_Bracket〕〔http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/DreamHack_London_2015〕 At The Big House 5 in Dearborn, Michigan, Armada and his Europe crew, which also consisted of Android, Norway's Widl, Britain's Professor Pro, and Germany's Ice, participated in a crew battle, which consisted of Europe, SoCal, NorCal, Midwest, Canada, Tristate, Florida, and New England. After a very close win against the Midwest that went down to the last hit and last matchup for Ice against KJH and another close win against Canada, which ended with Armada taking Kage's last stock, Europe went on to face SoCal, which consisted of Mango, Lucky, HugS, Westballz, and MacD. Even though Armada took eight stocks off of SoCal, SoCal came back, with Mango convincingly beating Ice by two stocks in the final battle.〔http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/The_Big_House_5/Crews_Bracket〕 In doubles, Armada won with his brother Android, beating Mew2King and Hungrybox in Grand Finals.〔http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/The_Big_House_5/Doubles_Bracket〕 In singles Top 16 winner's side, Armada beat Mexico's best player Javi 3-0, Fox main SFAT 3-0, and Mew2King 3-1 in Winner's Semifinals to face off against Hungrybox in Winner's Finals. There, he beat the Jigglypuff God 3-0 with his Fox and then 3-2 in Grand Finals to take home the title.〔http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/The_Big_House_5/Singles_Bracket〕 Armada holds positive records over every Smasher he has played with the exception of Captain Jack (0–2) and Silent Spectre (0–1). He is also the only Smasher to have a positive record over Mango (16–11).〔(Tafostats ). T5dev.smash4tips.com (21 October 2013). Retrieved on 2015-10-04.〕 He has lost sets to only eight different Smashers ever since he was considered a God: Mango, PPMD, Mew2King, Leffen, Hungrybox, Amsah, Triasfa, and Silent Spectre. Lindgren is also the only God to stand in the way of four Smashers who need to beat him to claim the title of beating all five Gods (Axe, Wobbles, Fly Amanita, and Lucky).〔(List of all Non-Gods to beat Gods : smashbros ).
