SypherPK’s real name is Sypher Ali (born May 10, 1996) is a popular multiplayer American YouTuber. His YouTube channel been around since 2011 and has over a million subscriber and the same goes for Twitch. Sypher has been creating video montages of games like Overwatch, Elder Scroll, and For Honor. Now he’s a full-time streamer with Fornite as his primary game. His fan base is known as #SypherHood.
Sypher is known for his high IQ trap-plays and is often spotted building trap towers to troll players. His Fortnite settings/keybinds are aimed towards aggressive build plays and fast movements.
FAMILY
He and his wife have a few dogs. He has three younger brothers, two of which are streamers @JuniorPK and @Ottohoops.
GAMING ORIGINS
SypherPK started playing games when his dad bought him a PlayStation 2 when he was eight-years-old. When he was in Elementary school, he was introduced to RuneScape by some older children and loved it so much that he mained it for the next ten years and has been hooked on MMOs and FPS games ever since. During middle school, he started dreaming of becoming a full-time gamer.
In middle school, he was given the assignment to produce a documentary as part of a History fair project. He found that he enjoyed filming and creating content, so he decided to set up a YouTube account to upload RuneScape content to in 2011.
PROFESSIONAL GAMING
Initially, he just did it as a hobby, but as he moved into high school and he got into the YouTube partnership program, he realized that it may become viable for him one day. Eventually, he moved on to Elder Scrolls Online in April-2014 soon after it was released. He also started live streaming on Twitch around that time after being inspired to pursue professional streaming by streamers like TimTheTatman and so started creating serious content for ESO. One of his main focuses was to develop educational content such as builds. His effort paid off and he was able to transition to full-time content creation in the summer of that year. However, he only received Twitch Partnership in April 2015.
Before switching to Fortnite, SypherPK had attracted 75,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. He attributes his success to a few factors. The first was grinding 13 hour days and the second was his decision to stream from 6:00 AM rather than 12:00 AM, so that he wouldn’t be cometin with the major streamers like Ninja, in order to ensure to his 100+ viewer channel would be ranking higher on the Fortnite category page, and therefore be easier to spot by new potential viewers.
Another major factor was luck, as he had a big break a few months after he started maining Fortnite where someone posted a clip of his successful Trap Tower that went viral. The next day, he was up to 400 viewers from 100 on Twitch, which marked the beginning of his skyrocketing to one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. In April 2018, he joined Luminosity Gaming’s pro-Fortnite team and remained with them until his contract expired in December 2019. During that time, he won over $55,000 USD in various tournaments, according to EsportsEarnings.
RELATIONSHIPS
‘PK’ stands for ‘Player Killing’ from his RunseScape days, while ‘Sypher’ was just something that he chose during middle school because he thought that it sounded cool.
INCOME
