Biography
SSB4
FOW began as a really strong player, many considering him to be top 15, or even top 10. He had great placings such as 5th at GENESIS 3, 7th at EVO 2015, 4th at PAX Arena, 2GGT: FOW Saga, 2GGT: Fresh Saga, and 9th at LVL UP EXPO 2016. During this time, he defeated players such as Ally, ANTi, ESAM, Larry Lurr, Mew2King, Vinnie, VoiD, and taking ZeRo to game 5. With all of these results and wins, FOW was ranked 12th on the Panda Global Rankings v1.
FOW started to drop off in the 2nd season, usually attending 1-2 tournaments per month, and most being local Las Vegas tournaments. His placings weren't as good as before, placing 25th at CEO 2016, 33rd at EVO 2016, and after a 4 months hiatus of not attending a major tournament, he placed 17th at 2GGT: ZeRo Saga. Because of this, FOW was absent from the PGR v2.
In the 3rd season starting in 2017, FOW placed 49th at GENESIS 4, and made a return after attending 2GGC: Civil War, where he placed 25th, causing a major upset against Larry Lurr and taking out Luhtie 3-0 after Luhtie defeated ZeRo. FOW then placed 33rd at 2GGC: Greninja Saga, then made an amazing run at 2GGC: Nairo Saga, placing 13th, defeating Rich Brown, Mr. ConCon, Marss, Pugwest, and Locus. These wins and placements got him to be ranked 50th on the PGR v3.
Playstyle
FOW's playstyle is centred around his zoning capabilities, enabling him to quickly react to his opponent's options. He is also known for his intensive mindgames, and offensive edge guarding.
