Even great beginnings must have an end 🤝💙 This will be a long post so I fully accept being ‘Keanu-Reeves-Cyberpunk-meme’d in the replies. Some 13+ years ago I started my streaming journey. I’ve had the fortune of growing together with Twitch as I was in the first batch of channels to get partnered dating back to Feb, 2012. Twitch and the streaming space looked a lot different back then. I had my biggest channel growth spurt around Call of Duty. With the launch of MW3 where both the Youtube and Twitch channels grew together. With our ‘rivalry’ with TBNRfrags, the content kind of wrote itself. When two people are trying to be the best it creates incredible competition and ingenuity. He would one-up me; I would do it back to him. 100 MOAB streams. 200 MOAB streams. Crazy challenges every single day. Once I left the CoD bubble, we had many more arcs. CSGO. Cube World. Fortnite. H1Z1. VALORANT. Tarkov. There are a million other games in-between but these stand out in my mind. Now with all this pre-context ‘Old man talking about the past’-part out of the way let me get to the ultimate point: I will be retiring from streaming completely at the end of the year. It’s a decision I don’t take lightly as it’s been my job and identity for the past 13 years. With that said, I feel like I’ve accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, and I yearn for more learning and growing. I also have a massive change career-wise happening in early 2025 that I want to be 100% ready for. I’m so incredible happy and satisfied with how things have gone, and I have this newfound peace of mind that all steps have led me to this point 🙏 Streaming for this long comes with some interesting stuff. Some people watched my content through most of their school years. Some are as old or older than me (I know it’s hard to believe). Think about who you were as a person 10+ years ago and how much you have changed in that period. Now multiply it with everyone in the community. Some of these people are still around to this day 🤯 I want to thank everyone who has enjoyed my content in whatever phase of my streaming career. You have given me an opportunity that I will never forget and badass stories for me to reminisce about when I’m old(er) 👴 If you have a moment here in the days leading up to NYE, stop by the stream and say hi as we’re counting down to retirement that will conclude on Dec 30th. Hope to see you in there 💙🤝

Nevermind it’s done. I will miss you dad.

My dad has been given 2 more days to live. 48 hours and then he’s gone from this life. No more hugs, sharing funny stories, and late night card games. I can’t process this. It doesn’t feel real.

You want me to do WHAT? #Cyberpunk2077

Rocket League is amazing.

Was just let go / replaced as host for G2’s RLCS stream. I asked to continue being paid and G2 would rather hire someone from outside than pay me. Completely their decision but just wanted to clarify why you won’t see me back 👍🏼 Will continue rooting for the boys all the way!

Big announcement for me. It's been a long time coming. It's time to continue to grow and learn 🙏💙

I refuse to believe that this is common knowledge 🍇

He’s 66 years old. He recently retired. He’s been busting his ass his whole life and to be dealt this miserable ending right as he’s suppose to be able to sit back and relax. What type of fucked up irony of life is this?

I hate that I chuckled at this

Streaming and loneliness Read: tl.gd/n_1sro777

Sorry to cancel stream just now. I got a phone call surrounding my dad and his battle with cancer. It's not looking good. I might be on later when I've calmed down a bit. Thank you for understanding.

Man almost all of G2 got verified that’s dope. Almost all. 🥲

Celebrating my birthday late April in Sweden

yeah it's crazy, same with G2 give me a raise why did all our money go towards rekkles

Dads MRI came back CLEAN which means no spreading of the cancer to his brain. I’m so fucking relieved. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him ✌🏼

Trucking is so relaxing 🥰

WE FUCKING DID IT!!!!!!!!! I’m so incredibly proud of myself and everyone who worked on the content and stream. Impossible is nothing @adidas 🙏🏼✊🏼

Red jacket. Yes or No?

Love playing games with @CarlosR. Full video drops 5pm CEST today 👏 #G2ARMY piped.video/Orb

Heading to Norway tomorrow to run my third marathon on Saturday. Debated canceling it but that's not what my dad would have wanted. I'll be running it for him and I'll be thinking of him every mile I complete. You're coming with me, pops 💙✊

Was just informed I won't be able to make the #RLCS winter major in LA due to immigration issues. I was looking forward to working another RL event as stage host, traveling to the US again, meeting friends, and watching the best of the best compete. Today kinda sucks :/

Hey @CarlosR can we give him a shot?

Who’s looking for new gear? 👀 Running a giveaway with @LogitechG where we’ll be giving away: - 1x PRO 2 LIGHTSPEED - 1x SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX - 1x PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Headset In order to win, comment your favorite LogitechG product and like this tweet 👍🏼 logi.gg/LogiPLAYDAYS_ORB #AD

Do we really want to let people like this into the London major @RLEsports @Athena

Decided to jump back on #MW3. Some things never change, huh? Watch the whole thing

Update: After some discussions with G2 we have come to an agreement and I will return as host for the final NA regional. Expect a tri-cast on Friday. The question is... with who? 👀 6pm CEST #RLCS #G2ARMY

Had to swing by the two time 🏆🥇@DrDisRespect

So I can finally share the news that I was recently invited by @RiotGames to come to Dublin and playtest, and give feedback, on the much anticipated #ProjectA. Here are my first impressions 🤘 (THREAD)

I really tried for my first ever sub 4 hour marathon but I’m very happy being so close to the 4h mark. This time would have been impossible if I didn’t run for my dad. Lots of emotions throughout. I hope he’s as proud of me as I am of him. Älskar dig pappa. Nu och föralltid 💙

Rest in peace, dad 💙 I’m so proud of all the sacrifices and hard work you’ve put in to provide and take care of us. To make my childhood and life better than yours were. I hope to one day pass on all the wisdom and love that you’ve given to me, to my own kids one day.

Hook a brother up with sympathy like 😔👍🏼

RAD ANNOUNCEMENT!! 💣 Super looking forward to this week. Can’t wait to trip on camera for views. @RLEsports #RocketLeague

Another handsome man to G2 we stan

Rocket League is such an amazing esport and the community is so friendly. This was such an amazing night. GG's to G2 as well for a super strong performance. Thank you 💙 @Athena @RLEsports #TheGrid

Happy to announce that it’s now 100% official. @CarlosR and I just signed the papers and I’m the worlds first pro player for #VALORANT. Now looking for 4 more players to complete the roster. My DM’s are open til the end of the day so send in your resumes.

It's been great being a @G2esports fan for the past 3 years

Am I the only one who preps for breakfast the night before? I was told by a friend that it ”gives psychopath killer vibes” 🤔

There's million dollar tournaments, and then there's a British guy playing Minecraft. GG.

1 bullet and a dream 🙏🏼 #VALORANT @PlayVALORANT

Super keen on sharing the news that I'll be hosting the #RLCS Friday EU streams for the rest of the Winter/Spring split 🎉 The Fall Major was amazing in every single way and I can't wait to reunite with the guys on the desk. First show already tomorrow and I can't wait 😁

Best banter @Athena

6’1 and 6’3 @StumpyGoblin #RLCS

"idk about atomic on G2" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

2 marathons. 2 weeks apart. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!! I’m so proud of myself and so thankful for all your support. Impossible is nothing.

I recommended @CarlosR fire every single one from the social team. I see he got soft.

Happy Monday my dudes 👋🏼

Surreal experience. I am but a humble guest in this Rocket League world but I’ve enjoyed every minute of if. Working alongside the best in the biz to put on the first lan since 2019. So much to learn and take away from this. Thank you so much for watching ✊🏼💙 #RLCS

Mi casa ☺️ (It means ’my home’ in Spanish, I looked it up)

Might be controversial to some but I need to get this off my chest. Broccoli. What a top tier veg, man.

Nothing but clear skies, folks

This man is the reason I joined G2 3 years ago. I would not have had the experiences, memories, and friends I have now if he didn’t convince me that joining G2 would be a fantastic choice. He was right. Thank you, Carlos.

Thank you to everyone for having fun with us for 9 whole weeks of #TheGrid for @RLEsports. Big shoutout to @Athena, @G2esports, @Jahzo, @JKnaps, @Chicago_RL, @Rizzo_TV, the production team, and everyone watching. Y'all are incredible 💙

AYYOOOOO??????

”Pay attention to the people who don't clap when you win.” How about you focus on those cheering with you instead of people that may not join in? Seems like such a pessimistic outlook on life.

Bro, wait until you realize my nickname backwards

DEAD 🤣☠️

Thanks for the pic @Turbopolsa big fan

”I promise this year I’m gonna grind”

Hey @G2esports I hear you guys got some open spots for pro players and I wanted to throw my hat in the ring. Call me 📞

WE WON $10K BOYSSSSSSSSSS

Welp... it’s done. I’m happy to announce that I own my very first home!!! 😱🏡🎉 This is a big day for me and I’ve been anxiously awaiting it for a while. Thank you guys for everything you’ve done for me during all these years. I have a home because of you guys. Thank you ❤️

Very happy to announce that I've been asked to co-host the #RLCS OCE major this weekend along side @JakeRL & @yumi_cheeseman. Feels very surreal since The Grid with @Athena was the first real dip into competitive Rocket League for me. I can't wait 🔥🙌

Big shoutout to Envy and my boy @Turbopolsa for a great series. I was pacing back and forth on the floor anxiously. #RLCS is heating up.

Today brought a lot of feelings out. Thank you all 💙

Tonight at 9pm CEST I’ve organized a fierce @G2esports Among Us session with a mix of creators, pro players, and staff. Who can be trusted? 👀 #G2ARMY @CarlosR @xRoseAli @ziminaite @Athena @G2Davidp @G2Pengu @BritanniJohnson @Wirtz_ @CTZNr6

@summit1g Who hurt you?

NAH BUT HOW COOL IS THIS 🤯🤯🤯

Elgato Key Lights installed 🙌🏼 Toying with the idea of having all my monitors horizontal. Thoughts? 🤔 @elgatogaming instagram.com/IncredibleOrb

I made a bet with @CarlosR . I lost it. Now he gets to write this tweet you're reading. I cant believe somebody can be this skilled while being 53. God bless this specimen. I smell like farts.

This G2 team tho 👀

Met the man, the myth @DavidVonderhaar for a get together talking a lot about #Blackout. Gave some feedback that he noted down. But DON’T ask him about tickrates. Trust me 😅 All jokes aside really excited for full release!

Extremely happy to announce that I’ve joined @G2esports as a streamer / content creator 🙌🏼 Excited to create dope new content and help represent their brand wherever I go. Thankful for this opportunity and the chance to be apart of the #G2army 💙 Let’s gooo #Incredibles

3 marathons. 3 nations. All within 30 days. With less than 25 days of prep for the first one. So proud of this personal achievement. What started as a random question became something a lot bigger. It’s fun and so rewarding to challenge yourself and test your limits.

Pioneers celebrating 👏🏼 #RLCS

Love hosting from home 👍🏼 #RLCS

Honesty hour. Do we love or hate this tie, Twitter?

This is a scheduled tweet since a month ago but today it’s official: We’re moving to @WatchMixer 🥳 I can’t wait for this next step. Ember’s up in chat 🔥

#RLCS Worlds is over. I’m blown away by this phenomenal esport. The production, the talent, the players, the thunderous sound from all the fans in attendance, truly an unforgettable experience. I’m proud and honored to have been a very small part in this equation 💙

One final ride 🤝 Celebrating my retirement from streaming today after 13 years. Come and let's wrap up this amazing chapter together 💙 twitch.tv/Orb

WINNER CHAMPS @JKnaps @ChicagoRL @At0micRL BEYOND PROUD 🏆 You guys deserve this so much 💙

New beginnings. Joined the Salesforce team and relocated to Dublin 🇮🇪 Do I have to learn to drink Guinness now?

I grew up here. Brings me back ✊😭

Rocket League is a very cool esport

My boys ✊🏼💙 @JKnaps @ChicagoRL @At0micRL

Somebody made this and said ”yeah that’s the one”.

I'm getting some help from Adidas running experts for the marathon and they advised me: "7 days before the race: do short, easy, runs maximum 70-80 minutes" 70-80 minutes. Short. Easy. 🤡

Gamers2 is the best org in the world

Okay. ”2022 is going to be G2's best year to date” - Carlos R

No stream tonight. Unsure when I’ll be back on. Love you guys.

Can’t hold back this greatness 😎 🚀

RUNNING THE BERLIN MARATHON ON STREAM twitch.tv/Orb

Marathon #2. 2 weeks apart. LET’S GOOO!!!

No lie was told in that #RLCS piece. The love and passion for this game is immense from everybody on the casting team. Granted, I haven't been a part of the scene for that long but everybody was so welcoming during the Stockholm Fall Major.

After a long ass wait it finally came back approved. My US work visa for #RLCS is secured 🤝

Made it to Norway. Lots of thinking on the way here.

How dope is this Christmas sweater from @PlayVALORANT 😍🎅🏼🌲
