Adam Lindgren (born 28 March 1993), known by his handle Armada, is a Swedish professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player from Gothenburg widely considered one of the game's greatest players of all time. He is a two-time champion of Apex, three-time champion of Genesis and two-time champion of EVO and is the highest-grossing Melee player ever. One of the "Five Gods" of Melee, alongside Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman, Joseph "Mango" Marquez, Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma, and Kevin "PPMD" Nanney, Lindgren is considered to be the top-ranked player from the middle of 2011 to the middle of 2013 and was the number one player on the Melee It On Me SSBMRank for 2015, 2016, and summer 2017. He also runs a very active YouTube channel with over 30,000 subscribers and over 80 hours of content.
He uses Peach and Fox, and formerly used Young Link as a secondary character. Lindgren rose to fame playing Peach exclusively, and is still considered the best Peach in the world by a wide margin but he added Fox as a secondary in early 2015 in order to deal with a select few opponents. He is also considered one of the best 2 vs. 2 players in the world and is famous for teaming with both his brother Andreas "Android" Lindgren and Zimmerman. Lindgren's other nickname is the Swedish Sniper, which comes from his use of Pit's light arrows in Project M and, less notably, Peach's turnips in Melee.
Lindgren started his gaming career in 2003 competing in the Swedish Nintendo Championship. Armada came to prominence in 2007 finishing 4th at The Renaissance of Smash 4, his first national tournament. Seven months later, he finished 3rd at Epita Smash Arena 2, the largest tournament in Europe at the time, defeating top ranked Japanese player, Masashi, before losing to Ryota "Captain Jack" Yoshida.
