Although Axe had previously maintained high placings at nationals, he surprised many with an extremely stellar performance at [[MLG Anaheim 2014]] in the summer of 2014. In the open winners' bracket, he defeated {{Sm|Ken}} 2-0 to secure one of the four available spots in the championship pools. In his pool, he defeated Hax 3-1, Colbol 3-0, Remen 3-0, {{Sm|s0ft}} 3-0, and Mew2King 3-2 in a large upset, although he lost to Leffen 1-3 and PPMD 2-3. Seeded in losers' bracket in the championship bracket, he secured a spot in the top 8 by defeating Lucky 3-0. However, Axe's largest upset came shortly after; in losers' top 8, after losing the first game against Hungrybox, he closed out the set 3-1, before losing to Mew2King 0-3 in a rematch in losers' quarters, ending his run at 5th place. | Although Axe had previously maintained high placings at nationals, he surprised many with an extremely stellar performance at [[MLG Anaheim 2014]] in the summer of 2014.

Axe managed to repeat this performance at [[EVO 2014]]. In the winners' quarterfinals pool, he defeated {{Sm|HugS}} 2-0, {{Sm|J666}} 2-0, and {{Sm|ChuDat}} 2-0, before losing to Mango 1-2 in a set that went down to the last stock.

Axe then lost to Armada 1-2 in losers' quarters in a set that went down to the last stock, placing 5th once again. By this time, many considered Axe to be one of the "Demi-Gods" (along with players such as Leffen, Hax, and Westballz), as he had taken sets off of three of the "Five Gods" (PPMD, Hungrybox and Mew2King), and individual games off of the other two (Mango and Armada). | ||
