| KeroKeroppi currently holds positive records against every player in the United States that he's played against, with the exception of {{sm|tacos}} (1-4).
| | He placed 17th in singles at [[Apex 2014]], losing to {{sm|JaimeHR}} and the British Pikachu player {{sm|Jam}}. He then placed 2nd at [[Zenith 2014]], only losing to {{sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}. |
