Career

Kabbani's YouTube account was created on November 3, 2013.[5] He started streaming on Twitch in 2016 and mainly streamed Paragon, a third-person multiplayer online battle arena developed by Epic Games. Paragon has since been removed. His streams become much more popular when he started streaming Fortnite Battle Royale in the latter half of 2017. At the end of January 2018, Kabbani had over 200,000 followers on Twitch and by the end of June of the same year the number had increased to over 3.2 million.

Kabbani plays for Team SoloMid in a team that consists of himself, Daequan, Darryle "Hamlinz" Hamlin and Juan "CaMiLLs" Camilla (sub). Kabbani joined Team SoloMid in 2018[6] and served as the captain of his team. Kabbani participated in the Ninja Vegas Tournament in April 2018. Additionally, Kabbani's streams have included a variety of other popular streamers including, Pokimane and summit1g. Kabbani compares Fortnite building/editing mechanics to a shooter version of chess.[7]

Kabbani suggested a new trap he calls a "bouncer trap" which would "send enemies flying out of boxes to protect players during fights".[8]

In March 2019, Ninja was paid $1 million to stream Apex Legends while Kabbani was paid an undisclosed amount.[9] Kabbani played as TSM's team leader in the game Valorant during the Twitch Rivals series.[10]

On 28 December 2021, Kabbani announced and confirmed on stream that he would not be renewing his contract with TSM, citing the loss of a family environment, upon the departures of friends Bjergsen and Leena.[11]
