Gaming Origins
LSKlive started playing basketball when he was around three years old because he was tall, and his father had also been a professional basketball player in the ‘80s parents felt he would be good at it. He started getting goof at it when he was about seven. Outside of basketball, he also loved playing on his Xbox, but his parents only allowed him to play on the weekends. This was tough on him, because he also had aspirations on going pro in gaming as well.
However, over the years, he sustained many injuries and required many surgeries. After flying between the US and England to represent different teams, his cycle of injuries and surgeries became too much for him and he finally retired from basketball altogether.
Before he finally made that decision though, he fell into a state of depression and so started watching a lot of YouTube videos. He particularly became a fan of Timothy DeLaGhetto. After realizing how much watching DeLaGhetto’s content helped him cope with his depression, he decided to try to created his own humorous content to cheer up others as well.
Prior to streaming fulltime, he studied Business Administration at Newman University where he received a scholarship to represent them on their basketball team.
Professional Gaming
He started upload vlog and skit videos to his IRL YouTube channel in July 2013. He got lucky, as two of his YouTube videos went viral early on, including his very first video, which motivated him to continue producing more content. However, he was still healthy, and his parents wanted him to continue with basketball, so he returned to the US to join another team.
However, he soon sustained another knee injury which forced him to undergo another surgery. During that time, he got depressed again and decided to get professional help. He continued producing content throughout all of this. He then got the news from his coach that the doctors had told them that it was too dangerous for him to continue with basketball as he had suffered far too many concussions. The university would therefore be pulling him from their team and revoking his scholarship. He then turned to dedicating more of his time to content creation.
He was still on the fence about what to do next until his co-worker talked to him and helped him to realize where his true passion lay. LSKakarot realized that it lay in entertaining others and that content creation was the perfect medium for him to do so. He therefore decided to attempt to turn content creation into a fulltime time career.
He then moved on to creating a gaming channel as well in October 2014 and started streaming on Twitch a year later. He signed with 100 Thieves in November 2020. He no longer streams on Twitch, but he does consistently upload content to his YouTube channel.
