sleepy

He has a brother.

He decided on his handle because he suffers from insomnia and is therefore always tired.

When Sleepy was growing up, he played a lot of baseball and dreamed of becoming a baseball player one day. However, in 10^th grade, he failed to make the team because he was too short, so he gave up on that dream. This is what motivated him to start dedicating more of his time to video games such as League of Legend and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. He also played Team Fortress 2 when he was around twelve years old.

He started playing Overwatch during S1 in 2016 and found that he managed to rank within the top 500 PC players in NA. This made him realize that he might be able to go pro with it, if he really dedicated himself to studying the game and improving his playstyle. One of the main reasons that he enjoyed the game so much was because he found it to combine elements of both fps and MOBA games, which were two of his favorite genres.

He transitioned into fulltime pro-gaming as soon as he graduated from high school.

In October 2016, he started competing in minor tournaments with small teams, including Cat5. His big break came for him when he played for Tempo Storm for a few months in March 2017, as this caught the attention of other teams. He then signed on with San Francisco Shock in September 2017. However, in April 2019, they traded Sleepy to Washington Justice in exchange for ArK. He was released at the end of the season in mid-October 2019 and has since branched out to be more of a variety streamer.

He streams without a camera.

He’s in a long-term relationship with Seyeumi.

According to his chat bot, sleepy has ~1,280 subscribers. This should earn him at least $3,200 USD per month, excluding additional income from his team salary, tournament winnings, sponsorships, tiered subscriptions, donations, Twitch cheer bit contributions, merchandise sales and advertisements. He is estimated to have won ~$12,500 USD from various tournaments.

He doesn’t have a set schedule due to his professional commitments, but he tends to stream almost daily for between 4.5 – 6 hours per session when he isn’t preparing for a tournament.
