Aloe “Ice Dew” Marshall, the Fighting Game Community Ambassador and Dev Lead, enjoys nothing more than a sense of community.
Marshall grew up playing Nintendo video games with their brother and OU alumnus, Cooper Marshall, but as they grew older, their interest in fighting games blossomed.
“I picked Guilty Gear Strive, and something clicked,” Marshall said. “I just kept playing, and the more I played, the better I got. The more people I fought, I decided, ‘Well, I guess it’s time I started competing.’”
Marshall learned about OU Esports from a visit to their high school by the current director of OU ECCI, Mike Aguilar. His talk showed Marshall a community they could exist in filled with many like-minded gamers.
