Trivia
- Ikan would get 33rd at his first Chicago event, Backthrow 150, losing to Blucas and Mewmon. He has missed top 16 only twice since then.
- For Glitch - Infinite, Ikan was the first player to be fully funded through the compendium.
- Ikan is known for not having a Twitter account; however, every tournament he wins is flooded with "Ikan." from the Chicago community to compensate.
- Ikan is the second Chicago player other than Ned to be ranked #1, the first being ATATA.
- After AndresFn and Vendetta money matched for the title of "best shoto" player in the world at GENESIS 8, Ikan ended up getting 9th in the main event as solo Ryu, placing much higher than both of their 97th's.
