Like so many of today’s North American esports royalty, Skyler Johnson started the grind by finding heads with his crosshairs in Call of Duty 4. Before there was really such a thing, Johnson was a proto-professional gamer in the late 2000’s. Back then, trick-shot mashup videos were the gaming meta for getting internet clout. Ask the OGs in FaZe Clan, or Envy Gaming, or 100 Thieves, or OpTic Gaming: they’ll vouch.
Especially Envy, Johnson founded the organisation in 2007.
Outside of competing and running the org, Johnson did the content thing.
