BROOKVILLE, N.Y. - LIU ESports's Nicholas Cruz-Wegmann was named the ECAC's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Player of the Week, it was announced by the league office Tuesday.
 
On Pokemon Trainer, Cruz-Wegmann, who plays under the name 'Ninjanick,' solo carried a 15-5 stock comeback, after LIU dropped set one of their best of three. This 15 to 5 compromised of not only winning a whole set himself, but then taking 66% of the next set to clinch the victory. Ultimately, LIU ended up winning the match on the final stock of set 3.
 
"First, I would like to thank Warhood (head coach John McDermott) for his support as well as the rest of LIU Sharks team. Additionally, I would like to thank ECAC for the opportunity to contribute to Esports. I feel honored to be the player of the week as this is a great way to start the New Year. Having started the first Esports club in my high school, I hope to continue to support and be a part of Esports as well as a member of ECAC for years to come. I've had a lot of fun so far and I look forward to competing with other talented Smash Bros players." -Ninjanick
