Profile and Career
A top French player with many victories in European tournaments. He is also the representative of the international Puyo Puyo community "Ascension".
He has a flexible playing style that mainly uses the right-turning GTR and has a variety of chain variations. He is known for his mid-game shapes that are difficult for opponents to understand and his efficient chains.
He also creates an original algorithm to create a global player ranking. This ranking is based on the number of wins in a match, which is considered to be the points a player has, and is calculated based on the rating of all past matches (however, the ranking is only reflected in the latest 2000 points) taking into account the recency of the match and the level difference between the opponent. It is currently used as the rating system for Ascension and can be viewed on the discord of the community.
