Early life

They had not only the games, but all the newest consoles such as Xbox by Microsoft, PlayStation by Sony, Wii by Nintendo, etc. Tyler once fought for the right to play a game with one of his brothers, but the latter refused, considering Tyler too young to play against him, but when Tyler got the gamepad, he beat his brother in no time, making his skills evident to the others.
To have the right to play as many games as Tyler wanted, he had to do well at school, and to work, so he soon got a job at Noodles and Co. as a waiter, and enjoyed gaming in his free time. Being a very hardworking person, Tyler tried to do his best both at work and in the games. He realized his potential and understood that it was the only way to the success – to push as hard as you can to get to the top. When Tyler felt he wanted to make the games the main work of his life, he addressed his parents for support, and was surprised to find out that they were not against his desire to turn his hobby into a profession.

At one moment he had around 628,000 viewers, as he invited Drake, a famous rapper and Internet personality to his live stream, which brought him 10,000 subscribers within a day.
