Mendo

His younger brother is pro-gamer @Luddee_OW. His dad is a big supporter of his sons’ career choices.

‘Mendoskai’ means ‘what a drag’ and is Shikamaru’s (Naruto character) catchphrase.

Mendoskaii started gaming when he was very young, claiming to have begun playing Counter-Strike with his older brother when he was four-years-old. He was committed to CS until he was exposed to Overwatch when he was older. He started playing Overwatch on the first day of its closed beta testing on October 27, 2015. He instantly fell in love with the game, dedicating up to 16 hours a day to improving his skills.

Mendokusaii’s skills were noticed by top teams, and he decided to postpone his final year of school to attempt competing in professional tournaments. However, his dad felt that it would be better to drop out of high school altogether, and that is what he did. Since then, he was continued to participate in official tournaments, but he now focuses on his streaming career, over tournament participation.

He has a girlfriend.

Mendokusaii has over 4,200 subscribers, which should minimally earn him $10,500 USD per month, excluding tips, cheer bits, sponsorships, team salary and tournament winnings.

He doesn’t have a set schedule, but he streams almost daily for between 4 – 12 hours.
