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.[1] 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, an increase from 14th in the world in 2013 and 6th in 2014.[2]

Career

Hjelte started playing Super Smash Bros. in 2009, when he was introduced to Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[3] He initially played as a Yoshi and Falco player before switching to Fox.[3] 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.[3]

He began playing Melee competitively in 2011, and placed 9th in the Swedish national tournament B.E.A.S.T 2.[4] Throughout 2014 Leffen began placing 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.[5]

In VGBootCamp's Apex 2015 Salty Suite, Hjelte defeated Kashan "Chillin" Khan in a first-to-five set without dropping a single game.[6] Hjelte had accurately predicted this result weeks earlier in a post-tournament interview at Paragon 2015.[7] Because of this, Hjelte has the "rights" to use Fox's default color.[8][9] Joseph "Mango" Marquez subsequently challenged Hjelte to a US$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.[9] 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.[10]

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.[11] In the aftermath of his Apex 2015, Leffen is now viewed as the sixth member of the top Melee players.[3] At CEO 2015 in Orlando, Florida, Leffen won his first American major, defeating Armada. He placed 5th at EVO 2015 despite being a favorite to win. He was upset by Panda Gaming's Justin "Plup" McGrath who was playing Samus.[12] Melee it on Me ranked Leffen as the 2nd best player in the world in their summer 2015 mid-season rankings.

Other games

Hjelte has competed in fighting games including Ultra Street Fighter IV, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and The King of Fighters XIII. In an interview with EventHubs prior to Apex 2015, he suggested he might play Guilty Gear Xrd on his Twitch stream after Apex 2015 concluded.[13]

Personal life

Hjelte's father is Korean-Swedish, who was adopted from South Korea and his mother is Swedish.[14] Despite this, Hjelte says his family does not regularly follow Korean cultural traditions.[14]

Leffen has stated his goal is not to just be the best Super Smash Bros player, but the best fighting game player.[15]

Controversy

Leffen is a controversial figure in the Super Smash Bros. scene, where he has been called a "villain" due to alleged acts of bad sportsmanship, which has included insulting other players of the game and starting drama within online forums involving the game series.[1][16][17] He was banned from attending tournaments in Sweden and from SmashBoards for much of 2013 because of these reasons.[1] A parody twitter account named "Leffen's Ego" was created and has gained over four thousand followers.[18] Leffen has admitted to liking the villain title.[19]

Leffen was warned multiple times that if did not stop this bad attitude, he would be banned from the Swedish Smash community and Smashboards. Leffen took this threat as a joke and said that they would never have the audacity to ban him. However, after many people, including Armada, were frustrated with Leffen's attitude, they compiled a list of documents, labeled Evidence.zip, to get Leffen banned. Leffen was permanently banned from the European Smash community; Armada said that the only way Leffen can be reinstated is by apologizing to everyone he has insulted.[20][21] After a while, Leffen did apologize through Twitter. He stated that he was sorry of what he did, but he was also suffering from depression. He personally apologized to Smasher Rocky and commentator Mike Haggar.[22] The apology was soon accepted and Leffen was reinstated. Leffen has since bettered his attitude around people.
