He started taking it seriously and during university he decided to take a break year and focus on posting gaming videos. Soon, he became a successful YouTuber and didn’t continue with university studies. He began his channel by mainly posting Call of Duty commentaries. He didn’t earn enough and didn’t have as many subscribers initially, but in 2013 his subscriber count shot up after he posted 3V3 Riot Shield Battle video. His gaming videos are designed to give a dramatic overview to his content and to make it seem like a short movie. He also keeps his fans in tune with his life and travel by regularly posting vlogs. According to him, as long as he stays relevant to current games and continues to stay in touch with his funny side, his videos will definitely draw viewers and get the attention it already does, even for years to come.
