“AstroNinja0” won the ARMS event at the online tournament Bamboo Battles: Hibernation Arc on April 5. Across the seven sets he played, AstroNinja0 only lost two games throughout the entire tournament.
AstroNinja0 started his run with flawless victories over players like Andres “Andyres_” Lorenzana, “Metal”, and “TC”. In Winners Quarters, he defeated Peter “Serp” Ghobrial, earning himself a spot in top 8 on winners side. AstroNinja0’s dominant streak continued in top 8, as he defeated Danny “hanukkahjamboree” Cohen 3-0.
AstroNinja0 seemed to falter in Winners Finals, as he dropped the first two games to Garrett “Asqew” Reamer. However, he pulled off the reverse 3-0 to advance into Grand Finals. AstroNinja0 beat Asqew once again in Grands, this time without losing a game. In doing so, he earned himself 1st place at the Bamboo Battles: Hibernation Arc ARMS tournament.
Just one day before Bamboo Battles, AstroNinja0 won the ARMS North American Online Open April 2020 hosted by Nintendo.
