Aftermath[]
Despite his five-game win streak, Slowik was not invited to the 2014 Tournament of Champions due to the fact that he committed a sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl, for which Slowik was criminally charged. As a result, four-time champion Mark Japinga took his place. His games were never rerun.
