Trivia
- Flow is notorious for his prowess in crew battles, often taking the majority of stocks in them. Notable examples of this happening include during Albion 2, where he took 8 stocks off of Scotland's 10 stocks[2], and Shine 2017, where in Round 1 of crews, he took all but 1 stock in their match.[3]
- Him and Ogey have often been sponsored by the same teams : they were teammates when playing for Elusia eSport, Team Oplon and LeStream Esport.
