Name Origins

In his early teens, he used to use ‘Mace’ as his handle, but he then realized that it was a bit silly to use it when he wanted to join WoW at fifteen .He couldn’t think of a name, so he Google searched for ‘paladin angel names’ for suggestions and ‘Sacriel’ came up. He added ‘42’ to the end much later, because ‘Sacriel’ when he wanted to use the name for his YouTube channel, it was already taken. The ‘42’ comes from Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Professional Gaming

He created his YouTube channel on June 5, 2007, although he only began uploading content in 2012. In mid-June 2012, he started regularly uploading DayZ content and also started streaming on Twitch. By the end of that year decided to quit is job of six years to focus on streaming fulltime.
