More Info About FormaL

GAMING ORIGINS

FORMAL played various sports, especially baseball while he was growing up. In 2009, when he was around 15 years old and his parents finally allowed him to compete in his first Halo 3 pro-tournament at MLG Anaheim. But he then decided to take a two-year break to focus on high school and baseball.

FORMAL bought Halo: Reach about a month after its release. At the time, he didn’t have any intention of playing it too seriously, as he still wasn’t sure whether he wanted to attend college or pursue a gaming career after high school.

PROFESSIONAL GAMING

A short while after he began playing Halo 3: Reach, BreaK, who was a friend of his from his Halo 3 days, invited him to join him to play with he. FORMAL discovered that BreaK and his team were looking for a fourth teammate for the 2011 MLG Dallas tournament. He asked them to let him join and they decided to give him a chance.

They went on to place 5th at that event, as well as the one that followed. After that, he decided switch to Believe the Hype when they extended an offer to him. He then moved on to Dynasty. It was with Dynasty that he managed to achieve his first 1st place victory at the 2011 MLG Orlando tournament. He moved on to form Ambush with other players in 2012.

However, he switched to Call of Duty (CoD) in 2013 when Halo’s popularity declined. He was at college studying Gaming at the time and decided to take a break for a semester while he focused on developing his CoD skills while competing with a couple of other former Halo players. He moved to Fear in order to be able to learn CoD from established CoD pros. Team Kaliber then took him on in January 2014. He then moved on to Team EnVy and got his first 1st place CoD placement with them at Gfinity 3.

Despite that he decided to join OpTic Gaming at the end of that season and moved into their gaming house. He remained with them until May 2018, when he transitioned to Luminosity Gaming and has since joined NRG Esports.

RELATIONSHIPS

He has a long-term girlfriend.

INCOME

According to his chatbot, FORMAL has ~10,810 subscribers. As he frequently attracts over 3,000 viewers, he should be earning at least $37,800 USD per month. This excludes additional income from his team salary, tournament winnings (which EsportsEarnings estimates at ~$660,000 USD), sponsorships, tips, and Twitch cheer bit donations.

STREAMING HOURS

Although FORMAL doesn’t have a set schedule, he tends to stream daily for between 4-14 hours per session when he is not competing.

QUOTES

  • [Don’t] be the guy who always shows up late… communicating with your teammates is the biggest thing… your callout shouldn’t be stressed [unless it will have an impact on the map… [Also] when I call out, I want to call out whatever I would want to hear. I don’t want to hear about how many bullets you just took, or how bad the host is; I want to hear where that guy is going so that I don’t die in the next ten seconds because you’re over there complaining for the next fifteen.
