Yam is an Irish ARMS player from Europe who mains Min Min, Lola Pop, and Ribbon Girl. He first experienced ARMS during the Global Testpunch in March 2018 and was immediately drawn in, purchasing the full game shortly after. He enjoyed how accessible the game felt, especially for a fighting game, with its simple controls. The art style, character designs, and music also helped keep him engaged with the game.
Yam first entered the competitive ARMS scene in November 2018, competing in EU ARMS Challenge #12. From his early appearances onward, he quickly established himself as a well known top player in Europe. During his prime, he was widely considered to be of the best Min Min players in Europe.
Playstyle
Yam plays with Min Min very defensively, while taking a much more aggressive approach with Lola Pop and Ribbon Girl. With Min Min, Yam commonly uses Roaster and Phoenix paired with either Parasol or Ice Dragon. While using Lola Pop, he uses Sparky, Triblast, and Scorpio. When playing Ribbon Girl, he uses Roaster, Cracker, and Slapamander.
