Career

Early Career and Prime

Within a month of the game's release in 2015, he started uploading videos of Rocket League on his YouTube channel, where he posted back his highlight goals and montages. He quickly started improving, and was outstanding, despite not having a background in SARPBC, the prequel game to Rocket League.

In November 2016, Squishy formed a team called Iris with two other players: the Season 1 RLCS champion Lachinio, and Torment, in preparation for Season 3 of RLCS. With that being unsuccessful, Squishy, Torment and former substitute gimmick left Iris and formed a new team: "The Muffin Men", named after SquishyMuffinz. With the new team, they qualified for DreamHack Atlanta, where they finished 1st.

After this, "The Muffin Men" were picked up by a top organization: Cloud9, and finished 1st in RLCS 4 North American Regionals. After being eliminated in game 5 from the upper bracket by PSG Esports, they had a successful streak of wins in the Losers' Bracket. They were eliminated from the tournament in Losers' Finals by Method. It was in this match, where he performed the famous ceiling shot goal, a revolutionary mechanic that he pioneered himself, and is widespread in the game to this day.

In Season 5, Cloud9 did not perform as well as many predicted, yet the team stayed together for the next season: Season 6. During the knockout stages in RLCS 6, Cloud9 lost their first match to We Dem Girlz and went to the Losers' Bracket, where they dominated and dethroned Dignitas in the Grand Finals, with Cloud9 becoming the RLCS Season 6 World Champions. This resulted in Cloud9 receiving around $200,000 in prize money. This was the most success Squishy has experienced thus far in his career.
