==Tournament history==
Infinity entered the competitive scene when he was 13 years old. Attending his first local tournament, he won without dropping a single game. With his intelligent and calculating play style, he swiftly dominated his local scene and then became a major threat at the national level.
===From Ontario to British Columbia===
Following his transition to British Columbia to attend the University of British Columbia (UBC), he immediately began to dominate local tournaments at UBC and is considered to be one of the best players among University Students in North America. Despite being quite inactive from events, Infinity finally attended his first local at UBC in September 2019. Despite being double eliminated by {{Sm|Locus}} twice at his first local  <ref>{{cite web|url=https://challonge.com/ubcfnf21|title=Infinity's first tournament at UBC}}</ref>, he took a set over him at {{Trn|OctoBair}} and has taken the torch as the star player at UBC.
===Becoming an Olimar Prodigy===
Infinity is considered the best Olimar player in Canada despite no relevant tournament experience with the character in previous iterations of the game compared to other top Olimar players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|Myran}}, and {{Sm|Klaatu}} who have been playing the character since ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''.
Infinity first picked up Olimar during ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release and quickly became the best Olimar player in Canada. After missing out on most of the tournaments in the first 6 months of ''Ultimate'', he attended a huge regional tournament in July 2019, located in Ontario, and took it over Brawl Legend {{Sm|V115}} in grand finals with a reverse 3-0; using solo Olimar to take the tournament.
