Biography[]

Xpecial hails from Temple City, California in the USA. He began his pro gaming career in many different MMOs as well as being involved in the DOTA pro scene, as it died out he moved onto League of Legends. He became well-known in the League of Legends community as the support player for Team SoloMid, part of the original roster that moved into a gaming house in New York. Along with his teammates, he streamed regularly with commentary and created regular vlogs, earning him a large fan base.

In May 4, 2014, it was announced that Xpecial had been benched from TSM, and later that same day he was picked up by Team Curse.

On November 24, Xpecial appeared on the show Summoning Insight and discussed his time on TSM and Curse.^[24]

2015 Season[]

Prior to the start of the spring LCS split, Team Curse merged with the Team Liquid organization and rebranded under the name Team Liquid. After a few swaps between Keith and Piglet as their AD carry, the team ended the season with a 9-9 record and qualified for playoffs with the sixth seed after defeating Team 8 in a tiebreaker game. In the playoffs, Liquid beat CLG 3-0 in the quarterfinals before falling to Cloud9 3-2 in the semifinals; in the third-place match, Liquid finally broke the "fourth-place curse" that stopped them from placing higher than fourth place in any event that had persisted since they were Team Curse and took down Team Impulse 3-2.

Team Liquid finished the summer split round robin in first place after winning a tiebreaker match over Counter Logic Gaming - the first team other than TSM or Cloud9 to place first in an NA LCS round robin. However, in the playoffs, they lost immediately in the semifinals to TSM, making them also the first team to finish first in an NA LCS round robin but not make the playoff finals. A CLG victory over TSM in the playoff finals sent Team Liquid to the regional finals instead of giving them a direct seed to Worlds via Championship Points, and in the gauntlet they lost to underdogs Cloud9, ending their post-season abruptly.

2016 Preseason[]

In September 2015, Xpecial released a vlog confirming that he would be leaving Team Liquid.^[25] His replacement Smoothie was announced a few weeks later, and shortly after Xpecial became a free agent.^[26] In his free agency announcement, he stated that he had played briefly with Cloud9's new Challenger team but that it hadn't worked out.^[27] He later announced that he would not be playing on any LCS team for the next LCS split but that he still intended to continue competing.^[28]

2016 Season[]

After his attempts to join an LCS team for the 2016 season were unsuccessful, Xpecial joined new NACS team Apex Gaming.^[29]

Apex won both the regular season of NACS and the playoffs, using both Eve and Shrimp actively in the jungle. In the promotion tournament, they were seeded first against the ninth-place Team Impulse, to whom they lost, and then against second place Challenger team Team Dragon Knights, a rematch of the Challenger Series finals. This time, they didn't even drop one game against TDK and qualified successfully for the LCS summer split.

Apex started out the split strong, with a 2-0 first week including a 2-1 upset of reigning NA LCS champions and MSI alums CLG. Their success, however, was short-lived, and by week 5 they were in 7th place, where they remained for the rest of the season, out of reach of the playoffs but also safe from relegations for the 2017 Spring Season. In September, both Team Dignitas and Apex were acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers in September 2016, to play under the Dignitas name.^[30]

2017 Season[]

Xpecial remained with the newly rebranded Dignitas for 2017. The team got off to a bad start in the spring split, going 2-6 over the first four weeks. Xpecial was also subbed out for substitute support Stunt for a few games, until Stunt went to Phoenix1 in March and Xpecial regained his starting spot. The team improved after Cop was rehired as head coach, going 7-3 over the rest of the season and securing the sixth and final playoff spot. However, they were swept 3-0 by Phoenix1 in the playoff quarterfinals.

Xpecial remained on Dignitas's roster for the summer split, but with the acquisition of Big, didn't appear in a game. Before the start of Week 3, he left Dignitas and joined the struggling Phoenix1, who had yet to win a game in the summer split. Xpecial started all of their remaining games and helped them break their loss streak in Week 4, but the team still struggled, finishing in last place with a 4-14 record. This forced them to play in the promotion tournament, where they outlasted challenger team Gold Coin United in the first round 3-2 but fell to Team Liquid 3-2 in round 2, before sweeping EUnited in the final qualification match to requalify for the LCS. Xpecial unexpectedly broke down in tears during a post-game interview with Ovilee May, distraught over his new team being split up.

2018 Season[]

Phoenix1 was not accepted into the newly franchised LCS for 2020, and Xpecial left the team in November. He eventually joined the newly formed Golden Guardians Academy for the spring academy split. However, the good moments were few on Xpecial's new team, as Golden Guardians Academy spent nearly all of the split in last place and finished with a 2-16 record. For the summer split, Xpecial joined the main roster as an assistant coach and coached the team on stage for Week 8 after the departure of Tyler. Despite his efforts, Golden Guardians finished tenth for the second straight split, and Xpecial left the team immediately after the season ended.
