In 2004, Armada and his brothers {{Sm|Aniolas}} and {{Sm|Android}} entered a [[Nintendo]] contest in Gothenburg, Sweden. Each brother ultimately failed in going through the tournament, Armada specifically mentioning that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 was the hardest game, as he had never played it up to that point. After the tournament, Adam, Aniolas, and Android founded The [[Ultimate Gamers of Sweden]] or UGS. | In 2004, Armada and his brothers {{Sm|Aniolas}} and {{Sm|Android}} entered a [[Nintendo]] contest in Gothenburg, Sweden.
