Tyler Latham, known professionally as Skadoodle, is an American former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Counter-Strike 2, and Valorant player. As one of North American Counter-Strike's star players,[2][3][4] Skadoodle won a Major championship at ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018 with Cloud9 and was named MVP of the tournament by ELEAGUE.[5]
Skadoodle was on the iBUYPOWER roster in 2014 that was the focus of a match-fixing scandal that resulted in an indefinite ban from Major championships for Skadoodle's teammates. As Skadoodle refused to accept winnings from the match fix, he was allowed to continue to play in Majors. Skadoodle later signed with Cloud9 in 2015.[4]
Following Cloud9's group stage exit at FACEIT Major: London 2018, Skadoodle announced his retirement from professional Counter-Strike play in October 2018.[3][6] From 2020 to 2022, Skadoodle played Valorant for T1.[2][4]
