William Hjelte, (born 16 October 1994) better known as L3ff3n or Leffen, is a Swedish gamer who primarily plays ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', in which he is a Fox main. In the ''Melee'' scene he is considered one of the dominant "Top 6" players, the others being Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma, Joseph "Mango" Marquez, Adam "Armada" Lindgren, Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman, and Kevin "PPMD" Nanney. Though Leffen has only recently become considered among the very best ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' players in the world, Melee It On Me, a well-known group for articles about competitive smash, ranked Hjelte 2nd best in the world in the summer of 2015, a substantial improvement from 14th in the world in 2013 and 6th in 2014. ==Career== Hjelte started playing ''Super Smash Bros.'' in 2009, when he was introduced to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.〔 When Leffen eventually transitioned to ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' in 2011, he initially played as a Yoshi and Falco player before switching to Fox.〔 Leffen feels that he made the gradual switch from Falco to Fox because he views Falco as requiring more discipline and Fox being more suited to his play style.〔 He placed 9th in the Swedish national tournament B.E.A.S.T 2 within his first year of playing ''Melee''. Throughout 2014 Leffen began placing highly in tournaments and defeating the top five ''Melee'' players regularly. Prior to EVO 2014, Joe Cribari of ''Nintendo Enthusiast'' listed Leffen among the three "underdogs" with the greatest chance to win the tournament. In VGBootCamp's Apex 2015 Salty Suite, Hjelte defeated Kashan "Chillin" Khan in a first-to-five set without dropping a single game. Because of this, Hjelte has the "rights" to use Fox's default color. Joseph "Mango" Marquez subsequently challenged Hjelte to a 1,000 money match if they were to face-off in the Apex Singles bracket. Hjelte would in turn beat Mango when they played in Winners' Semifinals.〔 After defeating Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman at Apex 2015 in singles bracket, Hjelte has taken at least one set off each of the "five gods" of ''Melee''. Hjelte ultimately finished third in Apex 2015 ''Melee'' singles. On 9 March, Hjelte was signed by Team SoloMid as its first player on their ''Super Smash Bros.'' division, as well as their first fighting game player. In the aftermath of his Apex 2015, Leffen is now viewed as one of the ''Melee'' gods. At CEO 2015 in Orlando, Florida, Leffen won his first American major, defeating Armada. Unfortunately, he placed 5th at EVO 2015 later that year, despite being a favorite to win. He was upset by Panda Gaming's Justin "Plup" McGrath who played Samus. ''Melee it on Me'' ranked Leffen as the 2nd best player in the world in their summer 2015 mid-season rankings. Leffen was barred from entering the United States just before The Big House 5 tournament because he was travelling on a Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) and employed by US-based Team SoloMid. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leffen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
