On March 20, 2022, Little Gremlins entered the Splitgate Pro Series Winter Relegation Finals with no prize money waiting at the end. The reward was something more important for a team trying to stay inside the professional structure. A place in the next regular season was on the line.
The roster was Apollo, Blitz, crazies, and vexy. In a double elimination bracket built around best of five matches, Little Gremlins beat Woho 3 to 0, then beat Fire Rate Diff 3 to 1. That second victory sent them into the Summer 2022 Regular Season and gave Blitz one of the clearest early markers in his public Splitgate career.
For Blitz, whose public record identifies him as Chandler, an American player born on June 19, 2002, the story is not built around long interviews or a flood of personality content. It is built through rosters, match pages, relegation brackets, and the short competitive life of Splitgate’s formal Pro Series era.
Splitgate and the Pro Series Setting
Splitgate was a fast paced, free to play arena shooter built around one central idea: players could create portals and use them to move, attack, escape, and reshape fights. It looked familiar enough to players raised on arena FPS traditions, but its portal mechanic changed how space worked. A lane was not only a lane. A wall was not only cover. A player who understood angles, timing, and map control could create pressure from places that seemed closed a moment earlier.
That made Splitgate a game where aim mattered, but so did memory and imagination. Strong players had to win fights, but they also had to understand how a map could fold in on itself. In competitive play, that meant coordination, quick rotations, portal awareness, and the ability to adapt when an opponent attacked from an unexpected line.
Blitz’s documented rise belongs to the 2022 Splitgate Pro Series structure, when online match days, challenger events, relegation finals, and seasonal championships gave the game a recognizable competitive pathway. This was not a long established esport with years of stable recordkeeping behind it. It was a young arena shooter scene trying to build an ecosystem while the game still carried the energy of a fast growing community.
That context matters. Blitz was not simply playing in isolated online matches. He was appearing in the structured part of Splitgate’s competitive record, where teams fought for regular season places, prize money, and the right to remain visible.
Little Gremlins and the Relegation Breakthrough
Blitz appears most clearly in early 2022 with Little Gremlins. The winter season was not a simple rise to the top. Little Gremlins had to fight through the pressure of relegation, where the difference between winning and losing could shape whether a roster stayed connected to the next stage of the Pro Series.
The Winter Relegation Finals were direct and unforgiving. Four teams entered. The format was double elimination. Every match was best of five. Little Gremlins did not need a long lower bracket survival run because they took control of the upper side. First came the 3 to 0 win over Woho. Then came the 3 to 1 victory over Fire Rate Diff.
That result gave Little Gremlins first place in the event and qualification into the Summer 2022 Regular Season. For Blitz, it marked a meaningful competitive achievement. It showed him not only as a participant in the scene, but as part of a roster that succeeded when a seasonal spot was at stake.
Relegation events can be overlooked because they are not always glamorous. They do not carry the same status as a championship final. Yet they often reveal the practical heart of an esport. This is where teams either survive or disappear. Blitz’s record with Little Gremlins belongs to that part of Splitgate history, the place where careers were preserved through one bracket at a time.
Yours Truly and the Summer Challenger Test
By July 2022, Blitz appeared with Yours Truly in the Splitgate Pro Series Summer Challenger Series Playoffs. The roster listed Blitz alongside Heisman, Bizharre, and Chasen. The event carried a $6,000 prize pool and offered more than money. The top two teams progressed toward Pro Series Playoffs for a chance at the Fall 2022 Regular Season.
Yours Truly opened with a clean 3 to 0 win over Golfers. That start kept the team in the upper bracket and showed that Blitz remained part of a roster capable of competing beyond the relegation moment. The next match was harder. Welshmania beat Yours Truly 3 to 0, sending them downward in the bracket. In the lower bracket, Immortal ended the run with another 3 to 0 result.
The final placement was third. Yours Truly did not earn one of the top two advancing places, but the run still mattered. It gave Blitz another documented result in a competitive event, this time outside the Little Gremlins name. It also placed him in the challenger side of the scene, where players and teams tried to force their way back toward the center of Pro Series play.
For a player profile, that third place finish matters because it shows continuity. Blitz was not a one event name. He remained present across different stages of the 2022 calendar, moving from relegation success into challenger competition and then toward a larger organization later in the year.
Elevate and the Fall Season
Blitz’s most recognizable team association came with Elevate. By late September 2022, his name appeared in Elevate’s Splitgate record, and the organization publicly presented him as a new addition under the handle cBlitz_. That move placed him inside one of the more visible organizational names attached to the later 2022 Splitgate Pro Series season.
The transition came at a difficult competitive moment. Elevate’s late fall match days were not an uninterrupted climb. On September 24, 2022, Elevate lost 3 to 0 to Pioneers in Fall Regular Season Match Day 6. The next day brought a stronger result, as Elevate recorded a 3 to 0 win in Fall Regular Season Match Day 7. In Blitz’s achievement record, that September 25 result is listed as a first to fourth place B Tier finish with a $1,000 prize entry attached to the team result.
The season then reached the Splitgate Pro Series 2022 Championship. Blitz’s public results place Elevate in the 9th to 12th range at that S Tier event on November 6, 2022. It was not a championship run, but it was still the highest stage attached to his record. For a player whose path had already included relegation, challenger play, and weekly fall competition, the Championship appearance rounded out a year spent inside the main structure of Splitgate esports.
This is the shape of Blitz’s public legacy. It is not a straight line from unknown player to champion. It is a record of persistence through the working parts of a young esport. He qualified through relegation with Little Gremlins, placed third in a challenger playoff with Yours Truly, joined Elevate, picked up a late fall match day win, and reached the 2022 Championship field.
Why Blitz Matters
Blitz matters because Splitgate’s history is not only the story of its champions. It is also the story of players who kept the brackets alive, filled the middle of the competitive ladder, changed teams, survived relegation pressure, and gave the Pro Series enough depth to function.
In larger esports, players like Blitz might be easier to document. There would be interviews, team announcements, player cameras, social clips, and years of statistics. Splitgate’s competitive record is thinner and more fragile. Some of the most important details survive because they were preserved in tournament pages and roster listings. That makes each documented appearance more valuable.
Blitz’s 2022 record shows how a player could move through the scene’s different levels. Little Gremlins represented the fight to qualify and remain in the regular season structure. Yours Truly represented the challenger route. Elevate represented organizational visibility and the attempt to compete deeper into the fall. Together, those chapters give Blitz a real place in the Pro Series record.
His profile also helps explain the nature of Splitgate esports itself. The game rewarded creativity, but the scene demanded resilience. Teams did not only need highlight plays. They needed players willing to return for another bracket, another match day, another chance to stay relevant. Blitz’s public career fits that reality.
Legacy
Chandler “Blitz” belongs to the 2022 Splitgate Pro Series generation, a group of players who competed while the game was still defining what its esport could be. His name appears across Little Gremlins, Yours Truly, and Elevate, with results that trace the competitive ladder from relegation to challenger playoffs to the season ending championship.
The strongest single achievement in his record is Little Gremlins’ first place finish at the Winter Relegation Finals, where Blitz helped secure qualification into the Summer 2022 Regular Season. His third place finish with Yours Truly in the Summer Challenger Series Playoffs showed continued relevance, and his later Elevate run tied him to one of the more visible organizations in the Splitgate scene.
There is no need to inflate the record beyond what survives. Blitz was not publicly documented as the face of Splitgate, and the available record does not show a long list of major titles. What it does show is a player who was present in meaningful places during the game’s key competitive year.
That is enough to make him worth preserving. In esports history, especially in smaller or short lived scenes, memory often belongs only to champions unless someone keeps the fuller record. Blitz’s legacy is the record of a Splitgate competitor who fought through the structure, stayed visible across multiple rosters, and left his name in the brackets of a game that briefly gave arena shooter fans a new kind of portal to play through.
