SetToDestroy X-Posed: Falln





It's always thrilling to see a game series you played as a child gain a competitive side in esports. I have researched a variety of games before, but this is perhaps the most interesting one I have ever encountered. Christopher 'falln' Rugg joined SetToDestroyX a couple of weeks ago and is starting to show great potential as a Super Smash Bros 4 pro. Recently, he placed 9th in singles and 3rd in doubles at 'Battle of BC 2' and placed 17th in singles and 9th in doubles at '2GGC: Nario Saga' both in the beginning of June. He also had notable placings in May taking 2nd in singles for 'Mega Smash Mondays 96' and 'Mega Smash Mondays 97.' His most recent claim to fame is placing 1st in singles for 'Port Priority' the end of last month.  While the future is still unpredictable, falln has been turning heads left and right as he aims to jump from 30's to 20's on the leaderboards. If you don't follow SSB4 in esports, this is the right guy to make you want to get involved either as a player or spectator. Lately, I got a chance to talk with him, in depth, about his life in competitive gaming and got his insight on how he feels about SSB4's future in esports.

Now, I present to you, the one-hundred percent truthful story of working for SetToDestroyX for almost seven months (and counting).
