ShadowNightmare

Lewis "ShadowNightmare" Farrell is a British SMITE player. He is currently retired.

Biography
ShadowNightmare lives in Birmingham, England.

ShadowNightmare was part of team Torch which would eventually be picked up by Team Coast a little over a month before the SMITE Launch Tournament. Only nine days later it was announced that he would be removed citing personal differences between the players.

Having missed out on playing at the Launch Tournament, he later joined Funballer's Team Kicked. With the team renamed to Exposed Secrets, he managed to qualify for the SMITE Pro League Season 1 Europe and also took first place at the Team SoloMid Invitational. Taking first place and thus first seed going into the SPL Season 1 EU Regionals, ShadowNightmare and his team mates joined Fnatic.

Missing out on qualifying for the SMITE World Championship 2015, the team disbanded. ShadowNightmare and FrostiaK stayed together to form the new team Novus Orsa. With the SPL EU Season 2 Qualifiers on the horizon, the team was picked up by Team Dignitas.

Throughout Season 2, ShadowNightmare's playstyle was heavily defined by his almost-exclusive usage of the starter item Soul Stone. Despite this, Dignitas struggled throughout the Pro League, finishing 5th (of six) in the Spring Split, 6th (of eighth) in the Summer Split, and 6th (of eighth) in the Fall Split. The final weeks of Season 2 would be an amazing ride for all of Dignitas, with a surprise pick from ShadowNightmare himself, Kukulkan. Finishing sixth, Dignitas qualified for the Super Regionals, where they put on an incredible show against their first round opponent, Paradigm. Going all 5 matches, Dignitas threw the final game, eliminating them from the tournament. They defeated Titan in the 5th place match.

He retired on 13 May 2017. He is now an indie game developer as well as a publishing intern for Hi-Rez.
