Gaming Origins
Orb grew up playing console games with some of his favorite titles including Mario, Goldeneye 64 and the Legend of Zelda. When he was a teenager, he saw his brother playing Counter-Strike and decided to try it out. He discovered that he loved playing against over players in real-time. However, it took him years until his skills had developed enough for him to keep up with the top-tiered players.
Although he occasionally participated in online and LAN tournaments in Sweden, it hadn’t been his main focus. During that time, he started watching YouTube videos and stream channels. Although he liked the idea of streaming, it took him a while to muster the courage to attempt it, as he was concerned that English speakers wouldn’t understand his accent. Nevertheless, he finally opened his channel in 2006.
Professional Gaming
It took him over a year of posting regular content before he finally started attracting viewers. He attributes this sudden increase in viewership to his streaming CoD 4: Modern Warfare towards the end of 2007. Over the years, he decided to shift is streaming style from competitive main-game streams to variety streams. Click here for a more detailed account.
