Harbleu

His father passed away in 2019.

His name is pronounced har-blue. He chose it because he thought it sounded funny.

He grew up playing video games with his brother.

Harbleu started participating in competitive match-ups on Team Fortress 2 (TF2) when he was around sixteen-years old, when he and a group of online friends formed a group and used to compete against other groups online. He eventually left that group to join a high-ranking TF2 team. They won the first ESEA tournament that they participated in. This sparked is interest in eSports, and he continued to participate in TF2 tournaments until he switched over to Overwatch during its closed beta, along with a few of his TF2 friends, including A_Seagull and @Enigma. He practiced with them, which lead to their being approached for sponsorship by LG. However, he was still working a fulltime job at that point and wasn’t able to commit to the team. CompLexity then offered him a trial position on their team. He accepted and soon achieved an official position with the team. This lead to his quitting his job to focus on becoming a fulltime pro-player and streamer.  He has been playing Overwatch professionally ever since. See full interview here.

In April 2020, he rejoined Luminosity Gaming.

He has ~2,100 subscribers. This should earn him a minimal monthly income of $5,250 USD per month, excluding additional revenue from tournament winnings, tips, his team salary, sponsorships, advertising and Twitch cheer bit contributions.

Harbleu doesn’t have set days, but he usually streams at least four times a week, starting somewhere between 03:00/05:00 UTC for up to 5.5 hours a session.
