Biography

Smoothie is from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Being underrated quite a bit while part of Team Dragon Knights and Team Liquid, Smoothie's talents were finally noticed when he joined Cloud9. His addition to the team made them noticeably better, as the team managed to reach the NA LCS finals twice, losing both times to Team SoloMid. C9 was also the only NA team to advance past the Group Stage at both the 2016 and 2017 World Championships. Following some problems with his shotcalling, Smoothie left C9 in the Summer of 2018 and joined Echo Fox.
