Another pair of vote-ins have earned their spots at Beyond the Summit’s next Super Smash Bros. Melee invitational. British Falco main Elliot “Frenzy” Grossman and Californian Marth main John “KoDoRiN” Ko will both compete at Smash Summit 13 in May.
Frenzy notably received support from actor and Team Liquid influencer Asa Butterfield during his Summit campaign. In addition, he will now compete at a Smash Summit event for the first time. Frenzy has become the third European on the Smash Summit 13 line-up, joining Swedish Fox mains William “Leffen” Hjelte and Linus “Pipsqueak” Nordin.
Peeps, please give your boy a few minutes of your time.

Meanwhile, Smash Summit 13 will be KoDoRiN’s third consecutive Summit. However, this will be his first time attending Smash Summit as a vote-in player. KoDoRiN attended Smash Summit 11 as a replacement when Pipsqueak couldn’t make it to the event and then qualified outright for Smash Summit 12 by placing third at Mainstage 2021.
Frenzy will represent Europe at Smash Summit 13 as one of the region’s strongest competitors. He is currently ranked second in the United Kingdom and top eight in Europe on MPGRContenders. The last time he visited the United States, Frenzy placed ninth at the Smash World Tour Melee Championship after defeating Derek “Aura” Olsen, Brandon “Panda” Orooji and Genesis 8 runner-up Jake “Jmook” DiRado.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
