Gaming Origins

SuperTF first started playing video games on the PlayStation 1 with his first game being Crash Bandicoot. During high school, he mainly played Team Fortress 2 (TF2), but switched to Overwatch when in released in May 2016. He and his friends were all soon addicted to the game and were also highly skilled at it with all of them ranking within the top 500 on the NA leaderboards.

Professional Gaming

In light of their high rankings, SuperTF and his friends decided to form a team together and started competing in online tournaments. His parents didn’t realize what e was doing and would often get upset when they heard him yelling while playing on his computer at 02:00 am. Their accomplishments drew the attention of major organizations, and he was invited to join San Francisco Shock in September 2017.

His parents were initially suspicious of the offer, so they did some research and took a bit of convincing before they went along with the idea, on condition that he complete his high school diploma online. However, he had to wait until he turned 18 a few months later before he could compete in the Overwatch League.

He then moved into the SF Shock gaming house, where he trains for between 8 – 12 hours per day. His parents are now very supportive and come to watch its matches. He left SF Shock in March 2022.

Quotes

I consider [playing video games] like an extracurricular. Like, most parents wouldn’t let their kids play football or baseball in school if they were failing or, you know, doing terrible in all their classes. So, I just try to say, like stay on top of your responsibilities. You know, be a smart person about it. But if this is something that you’re really into and you’re really passionate about, then I would say give it a shot.
