sunghoon was born into privilege with a family that encouraged his interests and talents from a young age. his father, a successful software developer, had introduced him to the world of video games. the kid displayed an innate talent for each and every one he played. his passion for gaming took off on his thirteenth birthday when his parents gifted him a pc with the top of the line parts. with this, he dove into the competitive gaming scene, honing his skills in shooter games. it was in counter-strike: global offensive (csgo) that he found his niche, polishing his natural mechanical skill and developing his fast reflexes, game scene, and precision.
despite being well-off, his parents preached the importance of a good balance between academics and gaming. sunghoon was able to maintain decent grades in school, but he always had his attention on games. he would sometimes sacrifice a bit of sleep to put in extra hours of practice online as he juggled his academic responsibilities and friendships at school. when valorant, a highly competitive shooter, was released, the stars seemed to have aligned for sunghoon. the transfer from csgo to valorant was swift. his natural talent set him apart from the others, and he quickly climbed the ranks in valorant’s competitive scene.
by the age of eighteen, he joined a tier three team and play in smaller tournaments until he was given the opportunity to join a professional valorant team in the tier two league. he accepted it, knowing this was a step closer to being on the main stage playing for a tier one team. as a member of said team, he continued to showcase his exemplary skill and was soon recognized as one of the rising stars in the scene. when he was twenty, an offer came that forever changed his life. he was invited to join a prestigious tier one valorant team. he jumped at the chance and while the team experienced its occasional ups and downs, they defied all odds within the same season when they secured first place at the valorant world championship. to put the cherry on top, sunghoon was awarded the mvp title.
