I have been a gamer for as long as I can remember. My earliest memory of gaming was playing Super Mario Bros. on the Atari and various other Nintendo classics. A bit later, I got my first PC, which was a Pentium 4, and that’s where my passion for gaming and tech began.
My passion for competitive gaming started when I was introduced to Counter-Strike 1.6 by my friend. And, I fell in love with it. I spent a lot of time playing in community servers and even competing against my friends in gaming cafes. That’s where I really started getting into competitive gaming.
From CS 1.6, I went to CS Condition Zero, then Source, and ended at CS GO. Up until Fortnite released, I was passionately playing CS GO, grinding ranked. But after the release of Fortnite, I stopped playing CS. It was a new game, and the building mechanics seemed really cool to me. I enjoyed learning different building techniques.
Weirdly enough, I got really good at the game, competed in local/official tournaments, and actively took part in the Fortnite community in my country. During this time, I was also heavily into building PCs; I helped build PCs for my friends.
I always wanted to earn money while playing games. Sadly, I wasn’t good enough to go pro, but I did enjoy writing about these games. And that landed me at ProSettings. I had been using the website all those years to copy crosshairs, and I never thought I’d be the one writing content on it.
At ProSettings, I cover guides, how-tos, strategies, tips, and tricks on how to be good at competitive games. Occasionally, I help out with updating our Gear section, ensuring we recommend the best gear to our users.
After Fortnite, I started getting into competitive games. Currently, I don’t game as heavily as I used to, but I still will queue into a competitive match in CS or VALORANT from time to time, just to scratch that competitive itch.
