Jmook entered {{Trn|GENESIS 8}} without much fanfare, as eyes were on players such as {{Sm|Zain}} and {{Sm|iBDW}}, two players who were contenders for the best player in the world, as well as {{Sm|Mango}}, who was recently crowned as the best player in the world on the [[MPGRContenders North America]] list. Due to this, Jmook first shocked players by defeating {{Sm|Plup}}, who was considered the best Sheik player in the world at that time and had won the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}} a few months prior. He then defeated {{Sm|lloD}} to qualify for top 8 where he was eventually defeated by {{Sm|Zain}}, falling to losers.

He then shocked players once again by 3-0ing {{Sm|iBDW}}, but lost his runback to Zain to place 2nd. As the 21st seed, Jmook was the lowest seeded player to make it it to Grand Finals at a ''Melee'' major since {{Sm|Fly Amanita}} (16th seed) at {{Trn|Press Start}} and {{Sm|Bombsoldier}} (who was unseeded) at {{Trn|Jack Garden Tournament}}. | ||
Following his Cinderella run at GENESIS 8, many players were excited to watch Jmook, and they didn't have to wait long, as due to his GENESIS run, he qualified for {{Trn|Smash Summit 13}}. Despite losing to Mango during Round Robin, Jmook entered the Winner's side of the Final Bracket after winning his Gauntlet round. His Final Bracket run was opposite of his run at GENESIS: he lost the runback against both iBDW and Plup, but eliminated Zain from the tournament. In addition, he also scored a win over {{Sm|Leffen}} and ultimately placed 4th. Despite losing to players he had defeated before, Jmook's Summit run proved that his GENESIS performance wasn't a fluke. | Following his Cinderella run at GENESIS 8, many players were excited to watch Jmook, and they didn't have to wait long, as due to his GENESIS run, he qualified for {{Trn|Smash Summit 13}}.
