Gaming Origins
Pengu was introduced to video games when he was dour years old by his stepfather who worked in IT and was very into computers and vide to games when he was growing up. From then on, he had always dreamed of entering the pro-scene, but only saw it as being a real possibility when Tom Clancy’s: Rainbow Six: Siege (R6S) was released when he was attending university.
Prior to R6, Pengu attempted to break into the Counter-Strike (CS) and League of Legends (LoL) scenes, but realized that they were far too established for him to get a foot in it. Therefore, when R6 released, he decided to grind it, as the meta hadn’t yet been established and he felt that it would be easier for him to be noticed.
Professional Gaming
In 2015, he joined a team that went on to win a tournament, but then failed to perform for the rest of the year. At that stage, he had though that his career was over, but then got an offer to join both a French team, as well as PENTA Sports. As his French wasn’t so good, he decided to go with PENTA, especially as there were players on the roster that he had teamed up with in the past.
Pengu’s gamble paid off and he was signed on with PENTA Sports during R6S’s first season in 2016 on a contract basis. They went on to win the Pro League Year 1 Season 1 Finals and went on to have a nine month-long winning streak. He and his team then transferred to G2 Esports in August 2018, when they bought the whole roster from PENTA Sports. The team was happy with this move, as they received long-term contracts which gave them peace of mind to fully focus on their training.
Relationships
He is dating @RyyFyy.
