Ek is a Marth player from Kungälv, Sweden, who is generally considered to be one of the best players in Sweden and Europe. His nickname is actually his last name, meaning "oak" in Swedish. Ek is best known for his Marth, however he plays various other characters well, especially Fox and Sheik. He has recently stated he doesn´t find SSBM very interesting anymore.

Ek became widely known in the community after Captain Jack complimented him, saying he's "as good as Ken" after narrowly beating him in the finals at RoofSM in January 2006. Ek's regular doubles partner is Helios, widely considered second best in Sweden.
