From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
ApolloKage (pronounced apollo-cog-ay[1]) is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Snake player from Missouri. He is considered one of the best Snake players in North America in the post-pandemic metagame and was considered the best Snake player in the world in 2022. Though active in the early metagame, his breakout event was his run to 13th at Super Smash Con: Fall Fest, where he defeated ESAM, a player known for being proficient in the Snake matchup. Since then, ApolloKage had placed top 8 at several majors and won several other large events, most notably DreamHack Atlanta 2022 and the Watch The Throne qualifier GENESIS: BLACK at Guildhouse. At a regional level, ApolloKage is considered one of the best Ultimate players in Missouri, ranking first on the St. Louis power rankings for five years.
ApolloKage joined Witness Gaming on October 6, 2022.[2]
