Though we know Panth as a star today, he had a humble beginning when it comes to gaming. Previously in an interview, Panth said that he had a long journey when it came to esports. From family acceptance to making a mark in the esports industry, this player’s story is an inspiring one.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with digit.in, “From crying for days to get my hands on a personal computer to now having 4 high end systems at my disposal currently. I did not know much at that time nor could I see the future. I only knew how to work and I kept doing that.”
Panth’s esports journey kick-started at the age of 16. This talented esports lover has represented several brands like Alienware, Dell, Intel, Corsair, Golds Gym and Esport clothing when it comes to associations. Panth’s YouTube channel with 97,000 subscribers, has videos of him playing and streaming CS:GO and First Person shooter game Valorant which is quite impressive.
