Gaming and Streaming History
Russ grew up playing video games with some of his favorites being Halo and Call of Duty (COD.) Fps titles and especially COD continue to be his favorite genre. Outside of gaming, he has a passion for classic and exotic cars and is an aspiring racecar driver.
He played for Guild Esports’ Valorant team for the 2021-2022 season and then joined XSET’s Warzone team in April 2022. Although he joined Twitch in December 2016, he only first attempted streaming in June 2018 but stopped after a month. He then started grinding almost daily in April 2020 during covid and stuck with it consistently until April 3, 2023, when he announced that he would be attempting to make Kick his exclusive streaming platform, as he felt that it would make more sense to him financially to do so. He also felt that since Kick was so new, there was a greater opportunity for growth there than on Twitch.
