KoreanDJ is a smasher and known to be one of the best (if not the best) Sheik and Fox players in the United States. He was first known when challenging high level players on Smashboards to money matches and winning. The start of his competitive career began at MLG New York 2006 winning the amateur tournament and beating Mew2King 3-0 in the pro tournament. KoreanDJ shocked the Smash world when he solidly defeated Ken 3-1 and made his bid as a real threat to the Smash hierarchy. He is the only player known to have more wins than losses over Ken.
While he has maintained a consistently high level of play the entire season, Orlando proved to be KoreanDJ’s breakout performance, eventually beating rivals Mew2King and PC Chris and then sending Ken to his earliest exit of the season. As one of the most skilled, enthusiastic and optimistic players out there, KoreanDJ continues to awe the rest of the smash community with his ever-increasing skill.
He first got into competitive play when training with Jinx, then working toward becoming part of the Ninja Turtlez crew. When he started playing with the crew, he was mostly all technical. He lacked mind game. However, he became increasingly better after each session. He took his play style to a whole other level by combining mind game with his fast reflexes and technical skills. After successfully climbing his way to becoming better than all the members including Krazyjones, he began traveling to compete against the nation's best players.
KDJ is currently in Japan where he has picked up Melee again.
At Tournaments
Received 2nd at MLG nationals in November 2006 and 1st at MLG Long Island in May 2007. However, he has not been showing up to any of the major tournaments recently, such as *pound* 2, FC-Diamond, and OC3. His most recent appearance at a major tournament was Viva La Smashtaclysm, where he placed 3rd.
He loves to money match.
He won the Worcester regional Nintendo sponsored Brawl Tournament as Sheik. His final match was against Compton of Deadly Alliance, who played Lucas.
He then won the New York City Grand Championship of the Nintendo sponsored Brawl tournament, defeating David from LA, then defeating Dire of Deadly Alliance, who played Ike. Although he did beat Dire in a huge upset it should be noted that many felt that Dire should have won due to the fact that KoreanDJ kept getting "lucky" with the items and that Dire was dominating the match until the items came into play. Once getting knocked into a "maxim tomato" and then a "heart container". His victory was secured when he got the "spicy curry" item. Yet his solid 2 stock victory may have not been due to luck.
As of March 7th and 8th, 2009, KDJ tied for 9th in both singles and doubles at Revival of Melee in Nanuet, NY. It was his first time playing Melee since MLG Long Island.
In spite of being regarded as one of the best players in the world, DJ has never won first place in a major tournament.
