Gloryda

Biography
1997/05/29

Tac8’s newest pro gamer, Gloryda, holds the distinction of being the fifth ranked Teamfight Tactics player in North America. A true gamer to his core, Gloryda looks at professional eSports as the endgame of a natural progression in gaming. Gloryda finds his motivation and inspiration by looking up toward the pros and champions who’ve come before him. In fact, Gloryda’s focus on gaming and the grind toward being the best and biggest, leaves him with, as he put it, “no life outside of eSports.” With that sort of unrelenting dedication to winning, sometimes it can be taxing mentally. After a year away for military service, Gloryda has had more than maintaining focus on his opponents to contend with. When asked what changed about the pro TfT scene while he was away, Gloryda noted, “the game itself, the Meta, the players, new champs, new system, new items,” changed so much it, “felt like a whole new game." When someone has that level of commitment and drive, it can be tricky to deal with any break or interruption in that routine. The shock of all of it had Gloryda, “scared at first.” To prepare himself for his matches and competitions, Gloryda believes nothing works better than meditating with Korean raps, particularly his favorite artist Jay Park. He also chills with some Valorant when not on the grind. Of course, his all-time favorite game is still Hearthstone.  Finding that balance hasn’t been a problem for Gloryda, though, as his tournament experience includes a 6th place finish in the finals. He credits his unique types of plays and his ability to predict his opponents for his success.
