Andy is a Melee and Project M player and tournament director from Germany who also used to live in Sweden. He started playing competitive Smash Bros. in 2007 and is a member and co-founder of the team Game 5.
Tournament Director
Together with Yomi, he hosted the European major Smash Royale in 2008, which earned the title "Best European Tournament 2008". Andy also co-hosted nearly every German national from 2007 onwards (for example SMASH ATTACK or the Osmash Series), usually taking the primary part in seeding players, creating brackets and enforcing people to play their matches so that the tournament can finish on time.
Community Work
Andy was a member of the Smash Back Room for both Melee and Brawl on SmashBoards, administrator on German Smash Boards, and a founding member of the streaming groups Salty Playground and Geeky Goon Squad. He was also responsible for most rule sets and power rankings in the german community. Notably he made the initiative to change the German standard for Dave's Stupid Rule and called it Tero's Smart Rule for fun. This version of modified DSR was later adapted in other European countries as well. Andy and fellow Melee players from Freiburg founded the organisation NoTech Gaming to improve the quality of their tournaments.
