Kyle is the main tournament organizer in Montreal, Quebec and the current head of SSBMontreal. Since the Summer of 2014, he has been TOing the majority of the tournaments in Montreal, such as Lan ETS 2015, Polybash/STYC 5, Smash Intensifies, Smash INTENSIFIES 2 and has co-TO'd all the McGill Monthlies and Smash 4 events in Montreal. Following the steps of the older resident TOs in Montreal, Rice and PiKaLeX, he helped grow the community to significant numbers and continued hosting the weekly tournaments in Montreal. He has also revived the once dead Smash 64 scene in Montreal and established a healthy Smash 4 scene.

His most recent project, the SmashLoft, is an apartment located in a loft building where the most popular weekly Smash events in Montreal are hosted. Following Rice's philosophy, he and the other SSBMontreal staff have gathered a sizeable amount of equipment for tourney play and streaming. SSBMontreal tries to keep as non-profit as possible; they reinvest the money into sustaining the scene's player count.

He was formerly ranked 7th on the Montreal Melee Power Rankings in Summer 2016.

Trivia

  • His tag comes from the previous tournament organizer, Rice, not understanding his real name and naming him "Kyle" in every tournament. Although his real name has 3 vowels, which may be confusing for English or French speakers, it's pronounced somewhat like "Kyle".
  • Kyle is born Brazilian and had contact with the Brawl scene in Sao Paulo. Although he had participated in some tournaments, he states that he only fell in love with the community once he met the scene in Montreal.
