In 2002 a moderator on Smash World Forums by the handle of [[Matt Deezie]] hosted [[Tournament Go]] (the first in a tournament series), which was one of the first major tournaments. There were six installments in the TG series, with each new incarnation being more popular than the last. TG4, in early 2003, was the first major tournament Ken attended. Even with the lack of a strong competitive scene, Ken managed to defeat players who had attended previous TGs and take first out of a record 89 players.

Seven months later, in August 2003, Ken attended and won TG5. This was the first tournament where he teamed with [[Isai Alvarado]] for doubles (otherwise known as "Malva00") who is currently [[Smash Panel Power Rankings|ranked]] as the 7th best Melee player in the nation. Their victory in the doubles tournament started a two-and-a-half year winning streak. They won every doubles tournament they entered until [[MLG]] Chicago in July 2006, where they were defeated by Azen and Chillindude829 in the finals and received second place. However, they reclaimed their title later that year in August at MLG Orlando where they defeated [[Azen]] and [[Chillindude]]829 6-3 in the finals.

For the next two years, Ken continued to win nearly every competition he entered. The worst loss he ever garnered in his competative career was at the 2004 TG6 where he placed 9th out of 128 competitors.

Today, Ken still places consistently high, winning almost every tournament he attends. Ken thanks his parents and his sisters for supporting him throughout his entire career.
