==Tournament history== | |||
Infinity entered the competitive scene when he was 13 years old. Attending his first local tournament, he won without dropping a single game. With his intelligent and calculating play style, he swiftly dominated his local scene and then became a major threat at the national level. | |||
===From Ontario to British Columbia=== | |||
Following his transition to British Columbia to attend the University of British Columbia, he immediately began to dominate local tournaments at UBC and is considered to be one of the best players among University Students in Canada. | |||
===Becoming an Olimar Prodigy=== | |||
Infinity first picked up Olimar during ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release and quickly became the best Olimar player in Canada. After being inactive for months, he attended an Arcadian in July 2019, in Ontario and took it over Brawl Legend {{Sm|V115}} in grand finals with a reverse 3-0. | |||
