Scrub
Family
His parents are supportive of his gaming career.
Gaming Origins
ScrubKilla was six-years-old when he started playing Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, the forerunner to Rocket League. His father got the PlayStation version for him as a present in 2009 and he hadn’t liked it at first. However, his dad encouraged him to give it another try. After a month of playing, he started getting into it. At that stage he was only allowed to play it twice a week for 2 hours, but only in offline until he was ten-years-old.
When he started playing online, he met a group of other Scottish Battle-Cars players who formed a chat together. One of them was Markydooda, whom he used to challenge for 1v1 matches and get badly beaten by. He continued to play it until he switched over to Rocket League. He feels that it really gave him a head start over other players that only started playing Rocket League. As with Battle-Cars, it took him a while to warm up to it. Although he hadn’t enjoyed the alpha version, he decided to try it again after he constantly saw it being advertised everywhere.
He joined a month after its release and soon became recognized in the community. ScrubKilla started stream-sniping streamers when he was twelve. He did this in order to ensure that people would recognize him when he was old enough to create his own channel. Markydooda continued to defeat him. After a few months of practice, he was able to better defend himself against him.
Professional Gaming
In 2012, thanks to his stream-sniping hijinks, he attracted 2,000 followers as soon as he created his channel. Soon after that, he managed to get into a match with Kronovi and he beat him. ScrubKilla posted the match onto YouTube and managed to attract a lot of view. He attributes that event to the moment when his Twitch channel really started to grow. In 2013, he started streaming his matches, because he was finally old enough to create content on his Twitch channel. He was part of Team Vitality from August 2018 until January 2020, and has been with Dignitas since August 2021.
He opened his current Twitch channel in 2015.
