Ice is a German smasher located in the Berlin area. He is a major competitor in German tournaments, but has gone international and made strong impacts; his most notable showing was a 7th place finish at EVO 2013. He is considered to be one of the best Melee Sheik mains in the world along with Mew2King, KirbyKaze, and Overtriforce, and is known for his prowess in the Fox, Falco, and Sheik ditto matchups, and has taken sets off of top professionals such as Zhu, Hax, Overtriforce, and Mango in tournament. In Melee singles, Ice has recently switched to Fox, and continues to perform very well in tournaments. Ice is currently ranked 1st on the German Melee Power Rankings, 3rd on the European Melee Power Rankings, and was ranked 13th in the world on the 2013 SSBM Player Rankings after his excellent performance at EVO that year.

Trivia
- Although Ice is considered one of the best Sheik mains in the world in the space animal and ditto matchups, he performs uncharacteristically poorly against top professional players of different characters. For example, he was defeated twice by s0ft's Jigglypuff at Apex 2014, and could not take a game from aMSa's Yoshi at Republic of Fighters 3.
