Role

Organizer & producer

A yearly party-game tournament I ran and streamed with my elementary school friends, with points on the line across Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash and more. I produced it like a real broadcast: a run of show, recorded player intros, a new logo each year, a live scoreboard and multiple cameras.

I've played Final Fantasy XIV since A Realm Reborn. In March 2020, a few friends I'd met in another Free Company and I started our own. I ran our events, from glamour contests to in-game weddings, helped with recruiting, kept our Discord running and built our website. In between, I raided high-end content as a Machinist, chasing parses.

In August 2023 I co-founded Toronto TFT, the first city-based TFT community and the biggest.

We partnered with Riot Games on prizing and support, were one of the key partners handing out the tarot cards Riot made for Set 12, and in January 2025 ran Team Throwdown with Riot: an online 4v4 tournament in Riot's second NA subregional.
