Gaming Origins
Hiko came of age playing console video games with his sister, which included Mario Party. But when he started middle school, Hiko only had time for StarCraft and Diablo II with friends until one friend got him hooked on Counter-Strike 1.6. He also tried out other games such as WoW, Heroes of the Storm, and more during his middle school years.
The same group of friends invited him to watch a video game tournament with them. And that is when Hiko decided to become a professional eSports player.
Professional Career
Hiko made his debut in the professional world in 2011. He accepted a sponsorship to participate in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournaments all over the country — despite working as an administrative assistant at a cement company while he attended college.
When Hiko was given this opportunity, he chose to quit his job and drop out of school so that he could pursue esports. Since then, he has participated on numerous teams yet never competed professionally again until he left Rogue in May 2019.
His dad disapproved of the idea when Hiko first proposed it until seeing how well it paid off for him. All the while, his Mom has been his biggest supporter. She even moderates his Twitch channel.
He started streaming on Twitch and YouTube part-time in early 2014. After being released from Rogue, he dedicated himself fully to becoming a professional streamer who uploads videos of games to YouTube. In June 2020, he was recruited onto the Valorant roster of 100 Thieves.
