Imaqtpie Wiki Bio

Michael’s obsession with games began when he was still a kid growing up in his hometown of Margate. One of the first games he played was “SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals” on his old Sony PlaysStation console. He spent a lot of time playing online games with his friends, and when the multiplayer online battle arena game called “League of Legends” first came out, Michael and his friends decided to try it out, since it was free to download. They were immediately hooked on it, and spent countless hours talking to each other and perfecting their skill at the game. Michael chose the name Imaqtipie because his mother often called him “cute” or “cutie”, and it has been his trademark ever since.

Beginning of Professional Career

After several months of playing “League of Legends”, Santana’s friends suggested to him that they should compete in the local tournament together; he agreed, and his team made it to the finals. It was at this tournament that he was spotted by another “League of Legends” rising star, by the name of William Li, known by his online alias as Scarra, who recruited Michael for his team called “Rock Solid” in April 2011, which marks the beginning of his professional career. A couple of months later, Imaqtpie, Scarra and Joedat Esfahani or Voyboy were acquired by “Team Dignitas”, finally making it to the professional tier.

Speaking of this moment, Imaqtpie stated that at the time he had no long-term plan when it came to professional gaming, but was extremely happy for his success, and incredibly thankful to his parents, who had supported him from the very moment he told them he wanted to become a professional gamer.
