Shiphtur

He has a Maltese poodle.

When he was young, he didn’t know what tag to use, so he looked at his keyboard, read ‘shift’ and decided to call himself ‘Shifter’. However, that name was already used in another video game that he was creating an account for, so he called himself ‘Shiphter.’ It happened again, and so he switched out the ‘er’ for ‘ur,’ and so ‘Shiphtur’ was born.

As a child, he preferred sports to video games, although he did play some in his free time. He played Counter-Strike for a while when he was ten years old, but soon got bored of it. Later, some friends suggested that he try out League of Legends, and he fell in love with it.

He suited Business at Grant MacEwan University for a year before dropping out to pursue a career as a professional League of Legends player.

Shiphtur joined team Dignitas in 2014 as a Mid Laner. He is good friends with imaqtpie and Scarra. They occasionally stream together, although imaqtpie streams with him more frequently.

According to his Nightbot, Shiphtur has ~2,345 subscribers, which would generate him ~$5,862 USD per month, excluding additional income from sponsorships, tips, Twitch cheer bit contributions, advertisements, tiered subscriptions and tournament winnings.

It’s a big risk just throwing everything away and trying to, like, commit yourself to this, but if you’re good and you’re at the top, you’ll eventually rise to the top. I’ve seen… if you’re a good player and you’ve got a good personality you’ll eventually get there.
