The journey behind the Fortnite Icon SypherPK

Ali Hassan, now popularly known as SypherPK, has humble beginnings. He was always good at video games, easily beating his three brothers. But, growing up, he aimed to be an NBA player and spent most of his high school time playing basketball. But at home, he played video games and created videos with his brothers.

Hassan’s first video got only 40 views and a comment which said, “nice video.” Those two words ignited his flame to become a successful streamer. However, his family was initially not much supportive of it. But, he met his biggest support system during his struggling days, his wife Daniela.

In 2017, he ground hours to become the best in the newly released game, Fortnite. Little did he know that the game’s chapter one final season opened a door toward success. Many big-time streamers closed their streams after “The Black Hole,” thinking Fortnite was dead as the screen was black, but Sypher kept his stream open.
