And have not seen a single post about it, I just want this subreddit to give the GOAT some love!

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how incredibly insane it is that Mang0 has been playing competitive smash for nearly 14 years now and STILL continues to be a top player. With his recent win at Smash Summit he has now won every major tournament at least once! I just find it insane to see one player can stay at the top of a game that requires so many fast inputs and reactions for so long. The manGOAT truly lives on!

Edit: He has played for a team for 8 years, he started his career in 2007.
