mattypocket

It's a homonym of his real name.

Mattypocket started playing console video games such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Sonic the Hedgehog when he was around eight years old. He only began playing PC games when he was in his early teens, with his favorite game being Ultima Online, which his stepfather introduced him to. He mained it for about nine years before he moved on to Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot WoW and similar MMORPGs.

He first discovered Smite at PAX East in 2012. He had never enjoyed MOBA titles but was attracted to it because of the mythology that it involved. So, he joined the closed beta to try it out and immediately fell in love with it, as he felt that it combined elements from a variety of genres, including FPS and MOBA games.

He has been working as a Manager for the SMITE Division of COGnitive Gaming since 2013.

Mattypocket played CS 1.6 professionally for a few years but switched over to professional Smite when he joined Cognitive Prime to compete in the Smite Season 1 World Championship. It was around this time that he also started livestreaming his gameplays on Twitch.

He has a long-term girlfriend.

According to his Twitch chat bot, Mattypocket has ~1,940 subscribers to his channel. This means that he is earning at least $4,850 USD per month. This is before he receives additional revenue from tiered subscriptions, tips, Twitch cheer bit donations, merchandise sales, advertisements and sponsorships.

His stream schedule isn’t set due to his professional commitments. However, he tends to stream almost daily for between 3 – 4.5 hours per day.
