Trivia[edit]

  • DarkStalker is known to often play in bracket cosplayed as Terry.
  • Following his disqualification from the SWT: Europe Ultimate Online Qualifier due to lag, DarkStalker made a Tweet stating that no French player could ever defeat him because they were "so free."[1] This Tweet has since resurfaced a couple of times, such as after DarkStalker's victory over an inebriated Glutonny sandbagging as Ganondorf during DAT Monday Meltdown 199[2], and after DarkStalker defeated Oryon to win the UK vs France crew battle at BOSS BATTLES: For Glory.[3]
  • Despite the tournament being region-locked to North America, DarkStalker competed in The Coinbox #25 under the tag "Ω Rugal02". He was eventually exposed before his set with Sonix after mentioning how beating Sonix "will be an honour", leading Sonix to believe "Ω Rugal02" was from the UK due to the spelling of honor.[4] Sonix later requested a lag test, revealing the deception and leading Hungrybox to both disqualify DarkStalker from the event and deny DarkStalker's payout for placing 3rd.[5]
