Mini bio
How it started.
Jonathan grew up in Bandra, Mumbai, with a father who encouraged his gaming. Friends introduced him to PUBG after years of playing on consoles. In a Red Bull interview, he recalled discovering the Indian esports scene around 2019 and deciding to compete.
The breakout.
With Entity Gaming, Jonathan won the South Asia finals of the 2019 PUBG Mobile Club Open, then finished fifth at the global finals in Kuala Lumpur. Viewers could also study his technique through handcam videos and tutorials on controls, sensitivity and close combat.
Finding an audience.
When opponents accused him of hacking, Jonathan used streaming to show his play. “Hacker or wot?” became a signature catchphrase. His channel brings together competitive highlights, crate-opening streams and personal vlogs, including the day he gave his father a car.
A team of their own.
After competing with GodLike, Jonathan launched Team Apex Gaming in April 2026. Later that year, the channel featured BGMS highlights, a Red Bull Solo Legends collaboration and an announcement of a new streaming home on Kick.
