KabajiOW

He has some older sisters and a cat.

He made it up randomly.

KabajiOW was introduced to video games by his sisters, whom he used to watching playing when he was ~three years old. When he was growing up, he spent most of his free time playing video games such as the various Pokémon titles. At twelve, he started playing World of Warcraft. When he was around thirteen years old, his mother fell ill and moved with him to Turkey in order to have her family’s support.

When he was ~seventeen, he was called back to Austria to serve in the military, which he did until he completed his six months of compulsory basic training. As his mother was well again, he remained in Austria after that and returned to gaming. His friends encouraged him to join the League of Legends beta., so he tried it out. He played it until he outranked his friends. He then transitioned to Overwatch and fell in love with the game, largely due to its heavy dependence on team cooperation.

When he began ranking high, he decided to start streaming. As there were few Overwatch streamers at the time, he was able to attract 5-10 viewers from the beginning. Viewers started coming into his chat and asking him questions about his gameplay and he would answer them. He slowly became known in the Twitch community and gradually gained more viewers and followers, in fact for the first year, he usually had ~100 viewers.

However, things changed for him when he received an offer to join Philadelphia Fusion as a streamer in March 2018. They helped to increase his exposure and he has continued to represent them ever since. He has represented the team as part of their competitive team as well.

He generally streams without a facecam and he occasionally swears.

He has a long-term girlfriend who acts as his manager.

According to his chat bot, KabajiOW has ~2,940 subscribers. As he regularly attracts over 2,000 viewers, this should earn him at least $10,290 USD per month, excluding additional income from sponsorships, tiered subscriptions, tips, Twitch cheer bit donations, team salary and advertisements. According to his Twitch autobiography, he has received over €22,950 (~$25,280 USD) from his top 19 donators alone.

He doesn’t have a set schedule, but he tends to stream several times a week for between 5 – 16 hours per session.
