COMPENDIUM

Heya! So I suspect a bunch of you don't know me and more importantly you don't know why you should care for me. Well I am Pipsqueak, and i've been playing Melee for 2 years and 7 months now, starting on the 8th of january 2016 and going to my first tournament the 13th of january.

I was never very good at any other facet of life growing up, School was difficult and unmotivating growing up and I was deeply depressed from an early age until early this year when I burned out. That made me step back and re-evaluate what I wanted out of my life. High stress levels coupled with a growing certainty that I wouldn’t be happy by climbing the corporate ladder and working for money and luxuries made me realise that all I care about is competing in video games, it’s all i’ve ever truly cared about.

Melee was there for me when no light could be found and it quickly became apparent that my one advantage in life was grit and a very competitive mindset.

In 2 years and 7 months of play I've entered the top 50 in Europe, become considered a top 10 player in sweden and an up and coming fox player to look out for.

These achievements mean nothing in comparison to the heights I aim to reach. I saved money for over a year to go to Genesis 5 and while I was saddened by my mediocre performance (ending at 129 it was a valuable tournament experience which convinced me that I am willing to go to any length to become the best player in this silly party game for children.

I will be streaming 30+ hours a week from now on until heir 5 aiming to win the contract and to get top 32 at Shine the week after.

I am not the most unique or interesting player there is, nor am I the most talented. But when it comes to dedication and hard labour I am only second to N0ne.

My goal is to work hard enough that no matter the end result I can say I tried my best and that I don’t have any regrets.

Please help enable my competitive spirit at Shine 2018. Thank you.
