Revan's first tournament appearance was at IMPULSE 2013 where he finished a surprise second, taking sets off a veritable who's who of Ontario Smash 64 including YBOMBB, B Link, Sex, Unreal, and Fck Vwls. At his second tournament, Smash Till You Crash 4, Revan again finished second defeating The Z in losers finals, before losing to SuPeRbOoMfAn in grand finals. He defeated YBOMBB convincingly (3-0, 3-1) in Grand Finals at Flaoc 4 for his first tournament win.

His first international appearance was at Apex 2014 where he placed 17th, defeating Han Solo in the second round of pools, though failing to make it out due to losing to tacos (after having lost to Isai in the first round of pools). At Apex 2015 he defeated Firo (2-1) to move into the final 16, before losing to Star King (2-1) to finish in 13th.

At Beast of the Northeast in May 2015 in New Hampshire, Revan beat Fireblaster (3-0) in Losers Finals before losing to KeroKeroppi (3-2) in Grand Finals to finish second. In a stacked Xanadu on August 5th, 2015 in Baltimore, Revan defeated Tacos (2-0) in Losers Finals before losing to SuPeRbOoMfAn (2-0) in Grand Finals to finish second.

At Pound 2016 Revan had his best international performance to date, finishing 4th after beating Firo and Wizzrobe in top 8 before losing to KeroKeroppi. At Get On My Level 2016 Revan repeated his 4th place finish beating HandsomeTom and Wizzrobe in top 8 before being eliminated by The Z.
