My ambitions are to continue to grow as a player, coach, and leader in the melee community. As well as to grow my numbers on stream and overall publicity on social media. Looking forward to finding the right team to work and grow with and excited about the future with these potential opportunities!
I debuted as the 77th best player for Super Smash Bros. Melee in the world in 2019, ill leave a link below for reference.
Since then i've been improving and honing my skills not only as a player but also as coach and mentor to others. I've been competing in melee since 2014, and 2021 was my BEST year by far in terms of tournament placements and overall results. Unfortunately due to the pandemic it was also one of the more controversial years of competitive melee as a whole. This was due to the major events panelists used for data in order to rank players shifting to online brackets instead of the LAN tournaments everyone was used to. It was very discouraging to finally make top 8's (at tournaments with over thousands of players competing) and finally beating top 50, 30, and even top 20 players for the first time only to be discredited by half the community. I refuse to let this stop me! LAN events are coming back full force with vaccines mandates being more strictly enforced at events and the community is feeling more comfortable with returning to how things used to be, so I plan to show the growth ive experienced during quarantines online period transfers over to LAN. I also stream every night and currently at ~1.9k followers on twitch and ~1.5k on twitter. My last sponsor was Faint Gaming and it was a pleasure working with them but I would love to see what else is out there! Thank you for taking the time out to read and consider my submission!
