Biography[edit]

After being dropped from eUnited's Counter-Strike team in late 2018, aceu began to focus on streaming.[5] Several months later, Apex Legends was released, which aceu picked up. He quickly went viral due to his flashy, movement-focused playstyle. This quick rise in popularity led to him joining NRG Esports on March 6th, 2019 where he played alongside former Counter-Strike friend Coby "dizzy" Meadows.[6]

The team intially found a lot of success in Twitch Rivals tournaments that used a Kill Race based format. However, as the competitive scene developed to focus more onto the Battle Royale genre and realizing what a competitive Battle Royale entailed, aceu lost interest in competing, even stating that it made him dislike the game. [7] Despite this, he still remained with the team. NRG was invited to the Preseason Invitational in Poland, where they narrowly made the finals by finishing one point ahead of GamersOrigin in the Winners Bracket Finals. In Grand Finals, NRG struggled throughout the series, scoring less than 3 points on average for all but one round. However, they still managed to place 12th due to their second-last game, where they finished 2nd with 18 total kills (the largest amount of kills within a single game in Grand Finals). To wrap up the year, the team attended TwitchCon San Diego, where they managed to win their group, and aceu was awarded the MVP of the tournament.

After TwitchCon, aceu released his movement guide. This guide introduced many players to the possibilities that movement brought within the game and also explained how to execute various movement techniques, such as slide jumping, wallbouncing and redirecting, laying the early fundamentals of movement within Apex Legends.

At the start of 2020, aceu played the initial Major Qualifier, but NRG failed to advance. The circuit was also halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, aceu decided to transition into a content creator role within the organization.[7]

Aceu remained with NRG for another 2 years, focusing on streaming and growing his content into other games such as VALORANT. He finally parted ways with NRG on October 20th, 2022.[8] He signed with Sentinels as a content creator on November 11th, 2022.[9]
