Biography[edit]
A former Brood War player, KawaiiRice is one of the younger players in the StarCraft II scene. He qualified for the PokerStrategy TSL and was the youngest finalist ever for WCG USA Starcraft. During the FnaticMSI Rookie Draft KawaiiRice showed considerable potential, helping him earn a spot on the team.
On December 30, 2011, Fnatic announced the departure of KawaiiRice from the team.[1] Four days later, he was announced as a part of the initial roster of the reborn Team LighT.[2]
When LighT eSports was disbanded on March 7, 2013, he was left teamless.[3] However, he was picked up a month later by My Intent.[4]
