Florent won the SMK World Championship of 2013 ([http://www.ffsmk.org/?task=results&year=2013&show=maininfo CDM 2013]) and became the first player to successfully retrieve this title after being defeated in a prior edition ([http://www.ffsmk.org/?task=results&year=2012&show=maininfo CDM 2012]).  As expected, the rivalry with [[Sami]] went all the way to the wire again, climaxing in a MR semifinal between the two to decide who would win the overall title. After losing to [[Sami]] in MR for 4 years straight, a determined Florent managed to pull off an iconic 9-6 win to crown himself champion once more.

Florent signed off on another momentous year by winning the SMK World Championship of 2014 with crushing dominance, reaching 4 out of 4 finals and 3 out of 4 gold medals ([http://www.ffsmk.org/?task=results&year=2014 CDM 2014]). On top of winning the CDM, Florent also organized the event, proving that it is possible to be a succesful competitor even when burdened with organizatorial tasks. For the second year in a row the CDM opened its doors in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Suze-sur-Sarthe La Suze-sur-Sarthe], with its fantastic venue. The usual top players were all present and with a total of 43 participants the CDM was popular as ever. This year media coverage reached a new pinnacle with the NESblog team (http://www.nesblog.com/) creating a documentary of the event on site. Moreover, there were various big news papers conducting interviews with the top players (and Florent in particular) and further coverage was provided by a live-stream of the proceedings on the CDM Twitch channel (www.twitch.tv/ffsmk).
