"Held annually over three hot summer days in Las Vegas, this is the world's largest fighting-game tournament: a double-elimination event that draws thousands of players from around the globe to battle in titles such as Super Smash Bros. Melee, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and Street Fighter V. This year's edition ran August 3–5 and hosted over 11,000 competitors. Among them was pro gamer and streamer Ludwig Ahgren — a world-record speedrunner and exceptionally fast button masher who can press the “A” button 1,000 times in under a minute — who used a free hotel night from Hotels.com to travel to Las Vegas and attempt to take the championship." - Vox Creative
