BLU is best known as a CSGO caster where he has cast a number of $1m tournaments, however, just over a month ago, he made a step into the competitive Rainbow Six scene when he was revealed as one of four casters for the DreamHack Winter Minor event alongside Parker “Interro” Mackay, Michael “KiXSTAr” Stockley and Harry “Demo” Dempster. Following his widely applauded debut at this event, he followed this up with an appearance at the US Nationals where he cast once again with Interro as well as his fellow newcomers to an R6 event of this size of Rob "Flynn" Flynn and Samuel “Stoax” Stewart.
