Professional Career

According to his contract with them, he moved out onto company property and attended high school online. As a result, he graduated early and was able to focus on his budding career.

After he turned 16 and became eligible to play in the leagues, he expected Complexity Gaming to convert his status as a streamer to a player for their roster. However, this didn’t happen, and the parties’ opposing views led to s0m being released as a streamer in July 2018.
