Gaming Origins
Alexich mainly played StarCraft 2 during high school and then switched to League of Legends (LoL) in early 2010 after one of his friends recommended that he try it out. Within three weeks he had reached level 30 and realized that he had the potential to make it in the game, so he started to grind the ladder seriously from then on.
Prior to going into fulltime streaming and competing, he worked as a programmer. He started working as an Engineer for RIOT Games in June 2021.
Professional Gaming
After about half a year of playing LoL , he met Darien and Genja007 in-game. Towards the end of 2011, they decided to form their own competitive team, Moscow 5, together, along with a couple of other friends that they had met along the way. They quickly earned a name for themselves after coming first in both the Place2Play LoL Cup and G04LoL ESL Cup in 2011, as well as a tens of other top two placements in tens of tournaments in 2012. As a result, he chose to leave his job as a programmer in order to pursue a fulltime career as a pro-gamer.
He started streaming on own3d.tv around the same time that he formed Moscow 5, and moved across to Twitch in August 2011. He and his family moved to Los Angeles in early 2015 in order to try making it onto an NA team. He then joined the LA Renegades in May 2015 and remained with them until March 2016. After that, he was a member of Team EnVyUs from May 2016 – November 2017. He then joined the Pittsburgh Knights as part of their stream team in December 2017 but left them in June 2018 when he decided to pursue a career as a Software Engineer. In late 2021, he transitioned into a fulltime position as a software engineer and no longer streams.
Streaming Hours
Despite not having a set schedule due to his career, he still frequently streams for over 6 hours every day.
