Banz had only 11 months of experience when he began competing in the world tournament. This made him one of the most surprising candidates to reach the later rounds.

Round 1

Versus Taeryong from PDS. Taeryong was considered one of the strongest spinners in the tournament, so it came as a surprise when Taeryong submitted a weaker than expected combo. Banz, on the other hand, submitted a combo considered very strong for the time, with big top-spins assisted by his mod's design and a solid variety of tricks.

Round 2

Versus Aki-maru from JEB.

Round 3

Versus Key3 from JEB. Another surprising battle, Key3 was considered very strong and even Banz himself has stated that he should not have won this battle.
