Adam Lindgren (born 28 March 1993), known by his handle Armada, is a Swedish professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player from Gothenburg. He is a two-time champion of Apex and three-time champion of Genesis as of 2017. He finished 4th at EVO 2013, 3rd at EVO 2014, 1st at EVO 2015 and runner-up to Joseph "MaNg0" Marquez at MLG 2014. He is considered to be the highest ranked player from 2011 to 2013, as well as 2015 to present. He got second at Apex 2015 and won EVO 2015 and GENESIS 3 in January 2016 and GENESIS 4 in January 2017. Lindgren uses Fox and Peach, and formerly used Young Link as a secondary character. His rise to fame was with Peach and he is still considered by far the best Peach in the world. He is also considered one of the best 2 vs. 2 players. 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.
