Competitive History
He began his playing in tournaments in the summer of 2015 and immediately began to dominate the Saskatchewan scene. Upon moving to BC to attend UBC, Locus continued to do well in BC tournaments despite his lack of experience. At the end of the Winter 2015/16 season Mason was already an honourable mention on the very competitive BC Power rankings. By the end of the spring 2016, Locus was #5 on the BC PR. After a return to domination in Saskatchewan during summer 2016. Locus recently returned to BC as the school year began again to be now ranked #3 on the BC PR. His sponsorship from UBC hopes to allow Locus to travel more and improve and make a name for himself as a top Ryu.
UBC | OneHand
Locus is famed for his alter-ego of UBC | OneHand, a falcon main with only 1 hand. Originally a device used to challenge himself when his only practice partner was his non-competitive sister, UBC | OneHand made it's debut in a money match against top Saskatchewan player Qwexe's famously bad peach where OneHand took the 2$ in a clean 2-0. Since then OneHand has improved and made a name for itself beating all sorts of players in friendlies and money matches, notably Focus and Exodia.
Trivia

- Despite being ranked #3 on the BC PR, Locus only sits at about #5 on the Weyburn PR, being ranked under Mijobe, Slosk, SisterCharlton and OneHand, most of whom Locus has admitted are better than him.
- Locus once famously captured all 10 spots on the Saskatchewan PR, after failing to even make Honourable Mentions 2 days prior, due to his beautiful face.
- Locus once got 2 stocked by Qwexe's DK
- Locus will win Toxicity
