Biography

Winter is mostly notable as a streamer. Initially only moderately popular, he rose to fame when in 2014 his stream became one of the most watched StarCraft II player streams. While Winter does not play at the highest competitive level, his commentary on his own games and interaction with viewers proved popular. Winter has raised his highest rank to Grand Master as both a Zerg player and then a Random player. He said he wanted to do this to eventually become a competitive player.

Winter also attended HomeStory Cup X as a caster in November 2014.

On 16 March 2015, Winter was un-featured from the Team Liquid stream page due to alleged use of viewbots to artificially increase his stream viewer count on Twitch. After a six-month probation period, Winter was deemed clean by Team Liquid and refeatured. Around the same time, he parted ways with nVidia when his initial contract ended, due to the surrounding drama.
