== Career ==
=== Early Career and Prime ===
Within a month of the game's release in 2015, he started uploading videos of Rocket League on his YouTube channel, where he posted back his highlight goals and montages. He quickly started improving, and was outstanding, despite not having a background in [[Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars|SARPBC]], the prequel game to Rocket League.<ref name=":0" />
In November 2016, Squishy formed a team called Iris with two other players: the Season 1 RLCS champion Lachinio, and Torment, in preparation for Season 3 of RLCS. With that being unsuccessful, Squishy, Torment and former substitute gimmick left Iris and formed a new team: "The Muffin Men", named after SquishyMuffinz. With the new team, they qualified for [[DreamHack]] Atlanta, where they finished 1st.<ref name=":0" />
After this, "The Muffin Men" were picked up by a top organization: Cloud9, and finished 1st in RLCS 4 North American Regionals. After being eliminated in game 5 from the upper bracket by [[PSG Esports]], they had a successful streak of wins in the Losers' Bracket. They were eliminated from the tournament in Losers' Finals by Method. It was in this match, where he performed the famous ceiling shot goal, a revolutionary mechanic that he pioneered himself, and is widespread in the game to this day.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-02 |title=12 Ceiling Shot Tips To Help You ENRAGE Your Opponents |url=https://www.gamepressunited.com/rocket-league-blog/ceiling-shot-tips/ |access-date=2025-05-14 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYtogLzH6As&t=138s |title=The true story behind Squishy Muffinz and the ceiling shot |date=2018-10-04 |last=SunlessKhan |access-date=2025-05-14 |via=YouTube}}</ref>
In Season 5, Cloud9 did not perform as well as many predicted, yet the team stayed together for the next season: Season 6. During the knockout stages in RLCS 6, Cloud9 lost their first match to We Dem Girlz and went to the Losers' Bracket, where they dominated and dethroned [[Dignitas (esports)|Dignitas]] in the Grand Finals, with Cloud9 becoming the RLCS Season 6 World Champions. This resulted in Cloud9 receiving around $200,000 in prize money. This was the most success Squishy has experienced thus far in his career.<ref name=":1" />
=== NRG Esports ===
In June 2020, Cloud9 released their roster due to poor tournament results, and Squishy transferred to new RLCS champions NRG Esports, where he replaced [[Turbopolsa]], and joined GarrettG and jstn. He remained at NRG Esports until 2023 when he was released, having won
=== Post-NRG and Retirement ===
In 2023, following his release from NRG Esports, Squishy reformed his old team "The Muffin Men", with former team mate gimmick and new team mate Aqua. After a few mediocre performances in Open Qualifiers, the team disbanded, and Squishy officially retired from professional Rocket League.<ref name=":1" />
=== Post-retirement ===
Squishy came back to the professional scene in May 2024, when he joined the team "Lil' Step Bros", along with fellow pros kofyr and AlphaKep. They played a few unofficial tournaments together until December 2024, when he and kofyr both left the team.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lil' Step Bros |url=https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Lil_Step_Bros |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=Liquipedia Rocket League Wiki |language=en}}</ref>
In November 2024, whilst still playing for "Lil' Step Bros", he created a new team alongside former NRG Esports team mate GarrettG, and fellow veteran AYYJAYY, called "G.A.S.".<ref name=":1" /> The team name is made up of the first letters of each of the players' names. They most recently missed out on qualification for the Birmingham Major in 2025, and are attempting to qualify for the upcoming Raleigh Major.<ref>{{Cite web |title=RLCS 2025 - Raleigh Major: North America Open 5 |url=https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Rocket_League_Championship_Series/2025/Raleigh_Major/North_America/Open_5 |access-date=2025-05-13 |website=Liquipedia Rocket League Wiki |language=en}}</ref>
