WarOwl
Family
WarOwl has a brother.
Name Origins
During his early days on CS:GO, he was playing a 5v5 match, when one of his teammates left the match. They were being badly defeated by their opponents, so he jokingly gave his team-mates a pep-talk where he told them ‘we may be outnumbered, we may be out-skilled, but at least we have the power of morale.’ One of his teammates misheard, as he had mispronounced it, and asked him, ‘war owl? What’s the War Owl?’ He thought it was funny and eventually adopted it as his new handle.
Gaming Origins
WarOwl’s parents are both gamers, so he has been playing video games since he was very small. He started on the Nintendo Entertainment System and moved on to other platforms when he was older. His love for gaming stems from the immersive escapism that gaming offers him, as well as an outlet for his competitive nature.
Prior to streaming, we completed his degree in Computer Science at the North Carolina State University. After this he worked in software development for three years. As a child, he had always wanted to have his own show, but didn’t think it was viable. However, while he was still in college, one of his friends recommended that he try producing content because he has a good voice. They started creating content together and he enjoyed it thoroughly. He discovered that he loved entertaining and educating others, especially after his second video went viral.
WarOwl was introduced to CS:GO by his cousin during CS:GO’s beta phase. They went to an internet café where everyone else was playing CS:GO and fell in love with it. Although he does occasionally play other games, CS:Go still remains his main game.
Professional Gaming
WarOwl started creating YouTube content fulltime on July 1, 2014 after he reached 100,000 subscribers on YouTube.
