Poko

He has a brother.

When he was seven years old, he had to come up with a username, so he just randomly smashed his keyboard and those were the letters that came up.

Poko has been playing video games since childhood, but he also played a few sports including football, when he was growing up.

He originally just started playing Overwatch for fun with his friend in 2016 during its open beta. It had never occurred to him to become a pro, but after a while he achieved rank 1 in his region, and someone approached him to join their team and things developed from there.

His parents originally weren’t crazy about the idea of him focusing on a pro-gaming career, as they had wanted him to attend university, but they have since come around in light of his success.

After playing for a various French teams for a couple of years, Poko received an offer to join Philadelphia Fusion in November 2017 s part of their inaugural Overwatch team. He decided to take them up on their offer and moved to Phil_Fusion mansion to train and live with his teammates. Since then, he has continued to compete on their roster, and also started streaming on Twitch.

He left Philadelphia Fusion in October 2021.

According to his Twitch chat bot, Poko is estimated to have ~530 subscribers, which should earn him at least $1,325 USD per month. This is prior to additional income from his tiered subscriptions, team salary, sponsorships, tournament winnings, tips, Twitch cheer bit contributions and advertisements. According to EsportsEarnings, he has won over $57,700 USD in various tournaments.

He doesn’t have a set schedule due to his professional commitments.
