Daniel Harrison has joined an elite club and become one of the country’s biggest professional gamers. But success has been a struggle.

One of his first jobs was as an apprentice but he struggled to support himself and ended up living in an abandoned caravan, telling people it was owned by an aunt.

Spurred by childhood dreams of being an actor, he did a short stint at acting school — selling his Xbox to pay for it — and while he said he didn’t learn much in those two semesters, he did gain confidence at performing in front of a crowd.“I watched YouTubers for a long time. I thought, ‘I can write my own scripts, direct my own projects, get in front of the camera and play video games’”, so even though he was living in dodgy shared accommodation, he turned the space into a studio.

Within a few months he was at 10,000 subscribers, and making around $200 from streaming and Patreon .“This game comes out called Fortnite and uh … wow,” Daniel said.Fortnite has been one of the biggest video game phenomena in recent history, with a 250 million strong player base. “I was very, very good in the early stages. You do anything 14 hours a day you’re going to get pretty good.”“I was sitting there after a stream one day and I got this notification on my phone that said ‘McCreamy has sent you a DM: wanna play some time’?”“I used to copy his thumbnails, I looked up to this guy … then he messages me like, ‘you killed me three times in a row, back to back consecutive games, I just thought you were insane and I was so angry’.

An invite soon followed from Faze to the “clout house“, and one of its founders, Faze Banks, encouraged Daniel to get back onto YouTube as well and with his new clout the subscribers started flooding.“I released this one video on having zero ping,” Daniel said, referring to the latency that impacts online games, where the lower your ping is the better you can perform.

But after their early success came the darker sides of being in the spotlight and family and friends “started seeing me differently”, Daniel said.

Daniel Andrews will get away with COVID-19 'catastrophe' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Greg Sheridan says throughout the coronavirus pandemic Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was the “most authoritarian premier imposing the most severe lockdown” while overseeing the most incompetent quarantine hotels.\n\nThe state has recorded 191 cases in the past 24 hours, forcing the Andrews government to lockdown five million people in the entire Melbourne metropolitan area and one regional shire.\n\nNine public houses have been placed into mandatory lockdown in North Melbourne and Flemington, with the towers being the source of over 65 cases.\n\n“The ABC of course doesn’t subject state politics to any scrutiny, so he just gets away without any consequence,” Mr Sheridan said.\n\nHe said the premier’s claim that people shopping could put others at risk of dying from the deadly disease, was never “translated to ‘if you demonstrate people will die’”.\n\n“This is a really catastrophic failure by the Andrews government”.\n\n“It’s a weakness in Australia’s political culture that state governments seem to be able to get away with this level of poor performance without suffering any real political consequences.”\n\nSky News host Peta Credlin said Victoria’s recent mishandlings “may well be the beginning of the end of Daniel Andrews”.\n\nImage: Getty Narrator: Pedo lover Greg Sheridan thinks Trump is doing a great job.
