Misfortune Hasn’t Slowed Him Down
RockyNoHands competed in contests like ‘Destructoids’ and ‘So You Think You Can Stream’. And this is where he impressed everyone. This is where Luminosity Gaming noticed Rocky’s unique flair and approached him to be a member of their organization.
“I think I inspire people to do something… When you see me doing something that people don’t think is possible ? people start to think that maybe there is something they could do that they didn’t think is possible,”?said RockyNoHands.
He has worked hard to be where he is today and shows no signs of slowing down. And now, RockyNoHands will feature on the roster of one of the world’s top Esports organizations.
“My biggest achievement from streaming so far is joining Luminosity Gaming and it’s been a dream of mine to join a top gaming organization like them and I couldn’t be prouder to wear the blue.”
With the pace he is moving forward with, he is bound to break more records as his journey shifts into the next gear.
