Gaming Origins
FanHOTS’ family moved to California when he was a child and started playing video games when he was seven years old, with StarCraft: Brood Wars being one of his favorites. After fully applying himself during high school, he went on to earn his degree in Economics at UC Berkeley. While there, he joined a college StarCraft team and won thousands of dollars while competing with them. After a couple of years, he switched over to maining Heroes of the Storm (HotS) as well as his college’s HotS team. He continued performing well and was soon noticed by Cloud 9.
After college, he worked part time as a data research analyst. He chose to work part time, as he wanted to pursue a gaming career. His parents were not initially crazy about this decision, but gradually came around as his winnings improved.
