Hamma initially discovered ''ARMS'' through his school's fighting game club where [[N-Man]]'s brother, Nama, showed him the game. While he did enjoy the game, his respect for [[HanukkahJamboree]] was what truly warranted him to pick up the game. He continued to attend local events in St. Louis in late 2017 and early 2018, even attending [[Smash Out Hunger 2017]], one of the first ''ARMS'' majors in the United States. The day before that event, at a local St. Louis biweekly, Hamma first got into commentating for the game. Around June of 2018, Hamma joined Milky Way eSports (often abbreviated as MWe) and also attended [[Smash'N'Splash 4]]. Later that Summer, in early July, [[Era]] teamed up with Hamma to begin running [[Champions of the Era]]. The series' goal was to enrich Era's TOing skills while Hamma's focus was to engage more with ''ARMS'' commentary. In early November, he attended [[Midwest Mayhem 12]], placing a notable 5th at the Midwest regional. On November 8th, he joined Flourish eSports for commentary and also left MWe that same month when the team disbanded. Hamma joined RipTide eSports in December of 2018 when the team was initially founded. He prominently commentated [[Smash Out 2018]] on December 15th as well, marking one of his first commentary positions at an ''ARMS'' major. | Hamma initially discovered ''ARMS'' through his school's fighting game club where [[N-Man]]'s brother, Nama, showed him the game.

In February of 2019, Hamma departed from his position as co-owner of Champions of the Era. Despite this, he still continued to show support for Era's events, including the then newly created [[Default Derby]] series.

Despite this, he still continued to show support for Era's events, including the then newly created [[Default Derby]] series. He also commentated many events in the ARMSVengers series in early 2019. In late May and early June, Hamma attended [[Smash'N'Splash 5]] where he commentated for ''ARMS''. This gig allowed him to cast a wide range of players from all across the United States and even a few players from Japan. After this event, he was promoted to the co-owner of RipTide. Later that year, from August 31st to September 1st, Hamma went to California to compete and commentate at [[2GG: SwitchFest 2019]], managing to place 7th. At that event, he co-casted Top 6 alongside Cedge and got the opportunity to commentate one of [[AstroNinja]]'s first breakthrough tournament wins. In September of 2019, Hamma parted ways with RipTide eSports and in November he returned to commentate [[Smash Out 2019]]. | ||
Going into 2020, Hamma took a step back from the ''ARMS'' scene, though still keeping many ties. With the many ''ARMS'' announcements in the Spring however, he came back to commentary for the [[ARMS North American Online Open (April 2020)]] | Going into 2020, Hamma took a step back from the ''ARMS'' scene, though still keeping many ties. With the many ''ARMS'' announcements in the Spring however, he came back to commentary for the [[ARMS North American Online Open (April 2020)]]. On May 8th, he won the uniquely formatted event, Outlaw Skirmish that had a stage list consisting of traditionally non-legal stages, notably utilizing a [[Advanced Techniques#Yabuki Combo|Yabuki Combo]] to secure the win. In the following months, Hamma took his focus elsewhere such as streaming on Twitch. There, he primarily streams Overwatch among various other games. He occasionally collaborated with other members of the ''ARMS'' community as well, such as [[Serp]], [[Gryffical]], [[Jean Marc]] & [[Para]]. Despite his lack of involvement in late 2020, Hamma is still regarded as one of the top ''ARMS'' commentators as well as a prominent source of entertainment by many in the community. | ||
