Career
Since 2013, Iversen has been an avid TrackMania player and has participated in various TrackMania competitions and events. Since 2019, he has also made content about the game on YouTube.In 2021, Iversen and a community member known as "donadigo" launched an investigation of several top TrackMania players suspected and later confirmed to be cheating using slow motion to achieve records. The most notable of these players was "riolu", real name Burim Fejza, a well-known community figure who was found by the investigation to have cheated thousands of records across a timespan close to a decade. The investigation prompted Nadeo, the developer of Trackmania, to intiate a widespread cheating investigation throughout various games within the franchise and effected the creation of the fan-made "Competitive Patch", designed to make cheating more difficult. Later in July, Iversen participated in the Summer Games Done Quick event, where he played Trackmania blindfolded.
In 2022, Iversen participated in the community-hosted Deep Dip event, where players raced to complete a very difficult map in the form of a tower with no checkpoints, where he finished in second place. In 2024, he took part in the Deep Dip II event featuring a similarly designed tower map, though he later decided to bow out of the competition, citing the overwhelming difficulty and time investment negatively affecting him. In 2025, Iversen participated in the Deep Slip event, which featured an ice-themed Deep-Dip-style tower map, becoming the first player to complete the map 12 days after the event began. He has also released multiple videos on his YouTube channel covering the Deep Dip map.
In July of 2022, Iversen released a Trackmania map called Midori as an attempt to create a map for the daily competition, Track Of The Day. Iversen also gave a $1000 prize pool in a time attack mode to encourage people to beat the target time that he set. Iversen revealed that he had used an analog keyboard to drive inputs at a specific percentage not normally possible by the game's standard controls. Nadeo clarified in a social media post that using software to set specific steering values was an unfair advantage and was thus not allowed.
In 2023, Iversen participated in the online amateur chess tournament for streamers, PogChamps. He won 5 points in the group stage and won the consolation bracket.
In 2025, Iversen co-hosted and broadcast the Red Bull Faster tournament organized by Red Bull.
