Biography[edit]
After Legacy's ADC was sniped by the LG Dire Wolves at the end of 2016, and the accompanying tentative support with him, Legacy turned across the tasman sea for a new bot lane. Looking for synergy with up and comer Lawrence 'Lost' Hui, Andy was chosen for his maturity, intelligence and compatibility with the planned 2017 roster.
Andy previously had been in the US on a Tennis scholarship, and had stepped away from a career in eSports to challenge for a Tennis Pro career path. In 2017 though he returned to his home country of New Zealand, and was scouted by Legacy Coach Luchio 'Soulstrikes' Park to partner with Lost for a new Legacy bot lane.
Cupcake retired after Dire Wolves's elimination from the 2018 Season World Championship. The team had gone 1-3 in the Play-In.
