Bans
Throughout his time in the Smash scene at Michigan since 2015, he was noticed for his provocative, rude, and unusual behavior from players he interacted with, often acting disruptively to provoke others. He has scammed multiple tournament organizers by avoiding to pay fees to enter tournaments, and would come up with excuses whenever confronted. Lastly, he initiated slurs towards Merrick in direct messages and on Twitter which prompted organizers to give him a month ban from tournaments. [1] [2] After multiple instances of scamming, cheating, and provocative behavior toward fellow women in the community, he would be banned again on March 3rd, 2018 until the beginning of 2019. In spite of this sentence he would be caught trying to register for tournaments in the state online. Upon finishing his sentence on January 2019, he would repeat his behavior and would end up making disruptive noises at a tournament towards Scarby during a set, eventually causing him to withdraw mid tournament. [3] While ordinarily that action alone would not warrant anything beyond a warning, his continued bad behavior combined with his refusal to formally apologize towards his victims and the community at large would lead him to being permanently banned from attending all Michigan Smash tournaments.
