Wardiii
Gaming Origins
Wardiii primarily played World of Warcraft (WoW|) while he was in high school and began playing StarCraft 2 (SC2) in 2011 soon after he entered university. He was introduced to it by his WoW guildmates who wanted him to join them in the arcade games. However, he also played multiplayer and became addicted to that instead.
Prior to streaming, he graduated university with a Master of Physics.
Professional Gaming
As he became more invested in SC2 he started looking for ways to improve his gameplay and so set up a group for his online friends to help each other. This quickly grew into SC2Improve, after the community decided that they would like to try set up small regular SC2 tournaments, with him acting as the caster. Around that time, he also started streaming in his free time. He then went straight into fulltime streaming and casting in June 5, 2015 upon graduating from university.
Wardiii then created WardiTV as an official rebranding of SC2Imrpove in October 2016 and casted his first official event in 2017 at IEM Shanghai.

Quotes

I feel like getting into streaming is an extremely difficult thing to do nowadays, and if I think back, streamed for literally years while I was at university, to ten viewers like hours a day, and if I think about doing that now, [I just think,] ‘Ugh, please no…’ I don’t know how anyone has the passion to do that. But I just enjoyed it so much then, I had the time then and obviously it's just so different… That’s what a lot of people have to do if they want to get into streaming… You just have to take the opportunity you can and roll with it and never set yourself that goal of, ‘I’m going to so this,’ because then you can get very disappointed.
