Panda Global

Eric "ESAM" Lew is an Ultimate Pikachu main, and formerly a Wii U Pikachu main, from Florida and South Carolina currently playing for Panda Global. While he is a skilled Melee and Project M player, he is best known for his top level play in Brawl, Wii U, and Ultimate. He is also known for being the best Pikachu main in both Wii U and Ultimate. He is ranked as the 17th best Wii U player of all time on the PGR100. In Ultimate he is currently ranked 14th in the PGRU Fall 2019 Power Rankings.

Biography

Although being critical and joking of his own Melee play, ESAM is still considered one of the best Samuses in his home state of Florida, as well as South Carolina where he also competes fairly frequently. He has tournament wins over strong players such as Westballz, Wobbles, The Moon, dizzkidboogie, Zhu, Javi, Chillindude, and had a relatively close set with PPMD. He was ranked 93rd on Melee It On Me's 2013 SSBM Player Rankings, 100th on the 2014 edition, 81st on the 2015 edition and 68th on the 2016 edition.

ESAM would finally win his first major, doing so at Glitch 7, defeating Suarez, LeoN, Nairo, Tweek, and Light twice. His victory would also coincide with Ash Ketchum's victory at the Manalo Conference in the Pokémon anime, as both are known for using Pikachu.

In July 2020, a video of him saying the n-word in 2014 was posted on Twitter. He apologized.
