Boiko is often considered the best Ness player in the world behind only StereoKiDD. He is from from Long Island, New York and is currently ranked 8th on the NY/NJ Project M Power Rankings. He is a well-known community leader, and is attributed with advancing a significant portion of Ness' meta-game. Recently, he has expressed that he feels limited by Ness' character potential. Boiko described Ness' current playing style as "bereft of passion and complexity, which stifles [Ness'} growth potential." He has begun working on a secondary Marth, which has already demonstrated impressive results within his region. Boiko was recently approached for a number of sponsorship opportunities, including with Subaru, Heinz, and John Deere. However, after an incongruence between the corporate ideals of the company and his own personal beliefs, Boiko felt that it would be "selling out", and decided to remain independent. He wants to now focus on a long standing passion, which is improving the strained relationship between the Smash and Mortal Kombat community due to the long standing 12-year feud.

He was the head Tournament Organizer of The Flex Zone. He plays Samus and Fox in melee and is ranked 27th on the New York City/Long Island Power Rankings.
