While he was in high school, Vivid played League of Legends and followed Team Curse’s career (Now Team Liquid). As he got older, he played Old School RuneScape (OSRS), Halo, CoD, Gears of War and PUBG before finally trying out Fortnite with his friend when the game released. It took him a while to really get into Fortnite, as he preferred playing OSRS at that point. However, in February 2018 one of his friends was bored with OSRS and so he would up playing Fornite with her every day. Ths got him hooked, and it has been his main game ever since.
Professional Gaming
By mid-2018 he had gained enough subscribers to support a full-time career, and so dropped out of college since he hadn’t really found his niche there yet. He managed to climb up the ladder to place 19th for NA, earning him an invitation to Week 1 of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish. From there, his streaming career really took off and he was signed on with Team Liquid. He then signed on in September 2020.However, he was released from the roster in January 2021. He hasn't streamed on Twitch since then.
