NAMELESS
Family
He has a cat.
Name Origins
When he first started playing Call of Duty 2, he was thinking about changing his username from ‘Kamikaze’ when he was about to join a new server, so he asked for advice on the CoD forums. A friend of his suggested ‘NAMELESS’. He thought it sounded cool, but he stuck with ‘KamiKaze’ for a while longer. However, when that friend died a few months later in a car accident, he decided to adopt ‘NAMELESS’ as a tribute to him.
Gaming Origins
The first console that he owned was the PlayStation 1, on which he played many hours of Spyro the Dragon.
Call of Duty 2 was the first fps game that he ever played. He began playing it in early 2006 when he was given it along with an Xbox 360 as a present. He played in public matches for a while and then some asked him to join their clan for GameBattles. This ignited his competitive edge and marked his first step to becoming a pro-player.
After playing GameBattles for a while, he had the opportunity to compete in Call of Duty: LiCenSe 2 Kill (L2K) on the GameBattles platform. His clan performed well, and he became known in the Call of Duty 2 community.
Professional Gaming
However, NAMELESS only really entered the pro-scene when CoD 4 was released in 2007, although he continued to participate in the scene part-time due to his college commitments. He really became serious when the CoD 4: Black Ops 1 expansion was released on the PlayStation 3, as that was when the pro-gaming scene really started to grow. He finally retired from professional CoD in May 2018 to focus on analyst and casting jobs for the CoD pro league. He also streams when he has time. He still occasionally substitutes in for various teams.
Quotes
-
[To become a pro-gamer, you need] skill, determination and practice. Play as often as you can, but also balance your real life, because if you’re happy outside of the game, you’ll be happy inside of the game.
