Tournament History
KoDoRiN emerged as a national contender in Melee in 2019, being placed on the Global Top 100 for the first time due to strong peformances in SoCal, advancing to bracket in majors Shine 2019 and Mainstage, and placing 4th at GENESIS: BLACK by winning 5 sets in a row in losers (including ending Hungrybox's "Genghis Juan" run of using characters other than Jigglypuff) before falling to Lucky. He continued to improve throughout online tournments held due to the pandemic, culiminating at Rollback Rumble: THE BIG ONE, a qualifer for Smash Summit 11, where first place would earn a spot. KoDoRiN would advance to winners finals after taking sets off Magi and S2J, but would lose to Wizzrobe and 2Saint to finish the event in third. Due to Leffen and Pipsqueak dropping out of Summit 11 due to issues traveling to the United States, the 2nd and 3rd place finishers would be invited to Summit as well, punching KoDoRiN's ticket.
KoDoRiN's peformance at Summit included wins over Moky and SFAT to finish 9th. The return to mostly in-person events would coincide with KoDoRiN's rise to be among Melee's elite. He placed in 3 concecutive major top 8s at Riptide, SWT: NA West Regional Finals and Mainstage 2021 to close out 2021. His run at Mainstage included a win over iBDW and 2 wins over SFAT to place third, qualifing him for Smash Summit 12. Top 8 finishes at Pound 2022, Smash Summit 13, and Battle of BC 4 in addition to a 9th place finish at GENESIS 8, cemented KoDoRiN's place in the top 10 of the global rankings once they resumed in 2022.
