Jr initially followed the early marketing of ARMS and had the game preordered prior to its release in June of 2017. A few months later, he became a founding member of the Shrimp Squad alongside Schkrimps, Dink, and Blockster. Jr supported the various event series run by Schkrimps at this time- such as Mega League Monday, Fight Club, and The Ramen Bowl- by not only playing in them, but also by being a moderator for all of Schkrimps’ events as well. Later in Fall, Jr participated in a United Kingdom vs France crew battle after placing 1st in a round robin event used to determine the members for the UK team.

In January of 2018, Jr once again participated in a crew battle, this time being Shrimp Squad vs Milky Way eSports, in which SS came out victorious. In May, he attended the Nintendo UK ARMS Grand Prix at MCM 2018 and placed 1st. This win at an official Nintendo event garnered him a replica Grand Prix belt as well as some coverage through Nintendo UK’s Twitter account. In Fall of 2018, Jr once more represented the United Kingdom in a country-based crew battle, this time against ARMS players from Germany.

While he continued to support a number of ARMS tournaments, such as the Scrapstar Series and EU ARMS Challenge, Jr and the Shrimp Squad participated in Battle at the Beach, a crew battle against RipTide eSports in Spring of 2020. Jr has also hosted a European first-to-10 league himself in 2020, in addition to assisting with all of Pawl S. Lax’s events including, but not limited to, SAVE ARMS 2020. For EUAC’s 100th event celebration, he joined the Church of Blorb to face off against The Glushiest in a battle of Blorb vs Glusher. His team came out on top handily, only losing three of ten lives throughout the entire event.

Playstyle
Jr is known for his use of the Guardian with his main ARM loadout consisting of the Guardian on the right and a Ramram on the left. On occasion, he will switch out the Ramram for the Roaster. Jr has also utilized double Guardian a number of times which, while not always effective in game, has shown to be somewhat popular with viewers and fans.
