Name Origins
He used to be a big fan of the soccer player Roy Keane from Manchester United, and so integrated it into his gamertag.
Gaming Origins
When Keanlol was around ten years old, his parents sent him to New Zealand to study for a couple of years. When he was eighteen, he went to study at Auckland University and traveled between New Zealand for a couple of years. While he was in university, he started playing Season 2 of League of Legends for fun. He became more serious in Season 3, when he managed to achieve a top-15 rank on the Korean servers.
Professional Gaming
His high rankings during Season 3 attracted the attention of MiG’s coach, Woong, which lead to his being offered a spot as a mid-laner on the Korean team. After three months, the team was disbanded, and he returned to Auckland University to continue his studies. While he was there, he continued playing a lot of LoL with his friends, to the detriment of his studies. However, he also succeeded in getting an offer to join a New Zealand-based team sponsored by Team Curse.
After five months, in late 2014, he was offered to join their NA team, Curse Academy and he decided to drop out of university to do so. He then moved into their team house in Los Angeles. In January 2015, Curse Academy was rebranded as Gravity Gaming, with the Keanelol remaining on the roster.Since then, he has moved to various teams.
He plans on remaining in the pro-scene for as long as he can, because he enjoys his job and feels that that is important. He is unsure of what career he will pursue once his pro-gaming and streaming careers are over.
Streaming Hours
He streams almost daily starting from 16:00 UTC. He generally streams for between 9 – 11 hours per session.
