TreK is a French Super Smash Bros Brawl and Project M player and tournament organiser in the Paris Smash scene. He started playing Smash competitively in early 2008, he then moved on to Super Smash Bros Brawl when it was released in Europe, and later started playing Project M, in the summer of 2013.
He was named manager for the Project M section of the United French Smashers association when it was created, in March 2015, and has since been working towards improving the quality of the French Project M community. His responsibilities with United French Smashers include being in charge of the EU PM and the PM FR facebook groups, being in charge of the French Power Ranking, hosting tournaments in the region around Paris, recording sets and helping other TOs. He has also contributed to the creation of a unified ruleset for Project M in France.
Brawl career
TreK was one of the members of the highest ranked French crew, Smash'n-Frag, in which he was active from 2009 to 2012. He has been involved in a lot of projects, such as his crew's combo video.
Although he's never been considered a good player, TreK has contributed a lot to the metagame of his main character, Diddy Kong, by discovering several advanced techniques which eventually led to the discovery of the first of Diddy Kong's now numerous infinites. An infinite, which, quite ironically, he has never been able to pull off, leading him to put a temporary end to his Smash career in 2012.
Project M career
In Project M, TreK is one of the pioneers of the game in France. He traveled to a lot of events such as LAN parties and Super Smash Bros Melee tournaments, bringing setups with him to advertise the mod and grow the French community. He has since hosted several tournaments such as Republic of Fighters 3, hf.lan 7, hf.lan 8, and hf.lan : Melee Edition.
He is also considered a French top player, currently ranked 6th in the country. He is most known for his flashy Ivysaur, and his distaste for Melee top tiers remaining unchanged in Project M.
