Starting in the lowly lows of Coppell, TX, Sung became the player he is today with the help of his crew. The Garbaggio Crew consisted of his eternal rival; QPAC. It all began with two scrubs arguing about whom were the better smasher and eventually that led to them learning about the competitive scene, advanced techniques, but most importantly, Ken vs. Bombsoldier. Sung went to his first melee tournament in May of 2007, called EGL Dallas. It was an amazing melee side tournament to Halo and a bunch of other shooter games, that had a 1v1 melee fee of 20$, where all of 10 entrants showed up to play. After a blur of wild body movement and button presses, Wobbles and some other guy he couldn’t remember trounced him. Badly. And because none his friends had a car and studied 24-7, and also the fact that he wasn't smart enough to ask anyone on smashboards if he could get a ride, he didn't go to tournaments until years later. Practicing tech skill in his room is what he had to settle on, and he never got bored of it. Everyday after school, he would run back home with his 50-pound backpack to master and perfect his Luigi wavedashes. Over this time in TX, he hosted a lot of extremely local tournaments (basically just his friends) where he and QPAC duked it out constantly with close challengers: fO_of and ERESS.
	When brawl was released in 2008, he was extremely hyped for it. In fact, he even dreamt of playing it. Multiple times. At this point, his friends (not himself) had a driver’s license. He and ERESS played a ton of brawl and actually went to a couple of brawl tournaments in TX. Being competitive by nature, he really wanted to get good and was smart enough to practice online in the AllisBrawl ladder where the lag would help him predict his opponents’ actions better. However, these quickly became some dark times and he was conflicted with liking brawl or not. Was he really having fun? Was this really what he wanted? After painful times, he finally dropped the game around 1.5 years later but he's still really good at it and would destroy J666 in a brawl money match.
	With brawl out of the way, Sung was incredibly excited to become the best melee player in the world (his original goal when he was learning melee's ATs). He managed to scrounge up a driver's license before entering college in California around mid-2010. His first opponent in SoCal was J666 and they became homies later even though Sung SD'd at 0% within the first seconds of the third match in their set and J666 did NOT reset. Speaking of homies, he made a slew of those in SoCal and God saw that it was good. He and DendyPretendy started playing at Occidental college very frequently after his first Festizzio's tournament and later on held Occidental smashfests every Friday that went from dusk till dawn. QPAC will always be Sung's eternal rival, but a new rival appeared in a sweat infested miniature sized garage tournament and his name was Baka4Moe (Baka4Hoes). Sung was no match for him at that tournament but after many heated and productive 1v1 sessions against him, he started to win and eventually thought of Baka as the most fraudulent smasher in SoCal. This impeded his mentality of the game and did not get over that phase until months later and started to accept his losses like a man. But now, he realizes that Baka was not that most fraudulent and that it was actually Stabbedbyanipple with his one-dimensional gameplay.
	In August of 2011, a really bad and egotistical Marth came from MD/VA. The Crimson Blur stepped into SoCal, completely ready to not make it out of local pools in tournament until many months later. He quickly became Sung's super homie and together they trained and practiced. They weren't talking about shooting free throws, or dribbling the ball to and fro on the courts, or even slam-dunking the hoop so hard that the glass shattered. They were talking about practice. And actually, the most significant leap in skill for Sung occurred in the 25th of July 2012, after playing 11 hours of straight 1v1s against Crimson.
Out of a whim one night, Crimson told Sung of his plans to create Team OXY (homage to Occidental smashfests) and have quality melee events for the community. With Stab, these three members were the ONLY ones who could have made this team. Not only were they the most active in the scene, but they specialized in the necessary sections of coding, art, and video media. So here they are now, ready to spread the goodwill of melee to the ignorant masses.
	SoCal competitive melee was not just a hobby and it was not just a game. It became one of Sung's essential factors to stray away from the average imbecile of society. Getting better was not merely just practicing in one's room; it was about getting experience, it was learning the ability to maintain composure in pressure situations, it was about thinking differently and openly. He is truly thankful to have played melee and he most definitely would have been worse off without it. Every tournament was equally important to him, whether it was a Festizzios or a Genesis 2. He never thought of them as a test to his skill, they were only stepping-stones, transitional stages, toward his mission of becoming the best. And almost every tournament that was hosted in SoCal from mid-2010 had a Sung in its results. He is now listed as rank 11 in SoCal but he doesn't care because if it's not first, it's done.
