However, he relly got into it he went to an all-boys Jesuit private high school from a public middle school and struggled to make new friends. He therefore spent much of his free time playing SCwith his older brother, TastelessTV. Over the next couple of years, he formed a LAN group with a few other friends where they tried to compete at least every weekend.

He went straight into fulltime streaming upon completing his master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Southern California.

Quotes

With StarCraft, coming from a player’s perspective like mine, the only way you improve is by working really hard and looking deep at yourself. At a high level, there’s no resource you can go to. If there’s an obvious strategy, people have figured it out already, or if there’s a subtle one, everyone else copies it. So you dig deep into strategy, and you start to understand the huge, hidden well of possibilities.
