Ultimate<\/strong> tournament. This time, Sparg0 used one of his favorite characters, Piranha Plant, which is considered one of the game\u2019s low-tier characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the tournament is not considered a \u201cmajor,\u201d many players in attendance were highly rated. Leonardo \u201cMkLeo\u201d L\u00f3pez P\u00e9rez, Markus \u201cShinyMark\u201d Florido and Sonix showed up to the tournament, only to lose to Sparg0\u2019s Piranha Plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I won Blink Respawn in DR beating Mkleo (byleth) and Sonix twice with plant !!<br><br>Still in a bit of shock because I would\u2019ve never imagined I could take plant to this level, but competing while playing the character you like the most regardless of tiers truly does wonders<br><br>Excited\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/00RLp6wOKI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/00RLp6wOKI<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FaZe Sparg0 (@Sparg0ssb) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sparg0ssb\/status\/1947093802990362772?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 21, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparg0 met Sonix in the grand final of the event, and it was yet another grand final in which Sonix was not able to win because of Sparg0\u2019s unconventional pick. Most of the time Sonix and Sparg0 have played, Sparg0 has always pulled out a character that he doesn\u2019t usually use in tournaments to throw Sonix off his game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, it was the low-tier character Piranha Plant. It\u2019s not just Sonix who suffered the wrath of the plant, though. MkLeo\u2019s Byleth also lost to Sparg0 using Plant. This whole top 8 was just Sparg0 playing one of his favorite characters and showing what one can do with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the loss, Sonix took to X and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UltimateSonix\/status\/1947042636008665242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">asked<\/a> players to give him a rundown on how to beat Piranha Plant. He added that it was his first time playing the matchup in a bracket and \u201cidk what the f**k was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonix\u2019s loss this tournament continues his first-place drought in offline tournaments. The last time he won a big tournament was in 2023 at The Coinbox IRL. He beat Sparg0 in the grand final of that tournament, but since then, he\u2019s struggled to replicate his results whenever he faces off against him.<\/p>\t\t<div class=\"spgn__social_share\"
