Romiti began his RTS journey on his eighth birthday, where his father took him to the store to purchase StarCraft: Brood War. Along with GamersOrigin eSports director Yann-Cedric Mainguy, Romiti spoke about his efforts, his victories, and more. Romiti was recently featured on ESPN for his accomplishments, who wrote about him while he had a celebratory dinner at a Korean BBQ.
