GAMING ORIGINS

PROFESSIONAL GAMING

He dropped out of college to attend his first tournament in Sweden and then moved to the Team Liquid gaming house. His girlfriend and mother were highly skeptical at the time but eventually came around.
He remained with them until August 1, 2020, when he decided to pursue Valorant instead. This decision came a couple of months after he chose to bench himself after realizing that roster changes would be necessary for Team Liquid going forward. Two weeks later, he was signed with 100 Thieves’ pro-Valorant roster.
