'''Kopter''', more commonly known by his nickname '''Fabz''', is a content creator and [[commentator]] from the United Kingdom, also briefly residing in California in 2019.

Kopter had been an active member of the ''Smash'' community since ''Smash 4'', playing {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} in brackets to reasonable success within England, though he would be best known for his personality, kickstarting many of the UK's crowd chants at events such as [[Albion 3]], while amassing a large following on Twitter. Progressing into ''Ultimate'', Kopter competed internationally until the lockdown period, but upon the return of offline ''Smash'' he would focus on attending events as a spectator to act as ringleader for the crowd and further expand his online following as he started to branch into streaming and [[YouTube]] content, networking with top players and commentators while continuing to attend European and American majors such as [[VCA 2021]] and [[Super Smash Con 2022]] as a spectator.

In the present day, Kopter is an active ''Rivals of Aether'' player with success, and has risen to become one of the UK's most notable commentators. He has casted at major UK events such as {{Trn|Regen 2022}}, {{Trn|DAT BlastZone 32}} and {{Trn|BOSS BATTLES: For Glory}}, and has also commentated ''Rivals of Aether'' events in the USA on [[VGBootCamp]].

Kopter was sponsored by [https://twitter.com/ReasonGaming Reason eSports] in early 2021<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/ReasonGaming/status/1362475579812024330</ref> in a streaming and content capacity, contributing to his high attendance at North American majors in 2022 where he notably made viral video tweets with top players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}}.

==Trivia==
*One of Kopter's most notable tweets<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Kopter__/status/1515989247030751234</ref> involved him filming top players and members of [[Panda Global]] at {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}, calling out anybody - most notably Hungrybox - eating a hotdog without a drink, birthing the phrase "eating a glizzy with no beverage", alongside a [https://mobile.twitter.com/ReasonGaming/status/1517790381139800065/photo/1 widely shared screenshot] of Hungrybox used as a meme.
**The saga would continue to {{Trn|Get On My Level 2022}} where Kopter would once again film Hungrybox [https://mobile.twitter.com/Kopter__/status/1543821852019154944 eating a 'glizzy' with 'no beverage'], creating another [https://mobile.twitter.com/GeorgeOD_/status/1543822979301253122 widespread image]. This culminated in the duo commentating Top 8 at {{Trn|Regen 2022}} in the United Kingdom<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Kopter__/status/1552355037216636935</ref>, where both would be [https://mobile.twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1551281894590795776 given hotdogs on stream] at the start of their commentary block - to Kopter's chagrin - without a drink.
