At the time, Isaac didn't know who SadJunior was, but everyone else who queued into that match was well aware. He played for teams like Cosmic Aftershock and iBUYPOWER playing alongside fellow veterans Jacob and Fireburner back in 2015, and would go on to join giants like NRG, Kings of Urban, and several others. SadJunior was one of the first top-tier pros in the esport. He never thought competing would be a potential career for him until fate randomly matched him against a Rocket League legend, SadJunior. Isaac was on the Rocket League grind in a hurry, playing and practicing for hours in between going to school and completing his school work at home. I was craving soccer, and Rocket League was my alternative. That's around the time I discovered Rocket League, so It was actually pretty convenient. I couldn't play any sports for about a year or two. "During freshman year I tried out for the team, which was my main focus at the time, but I ended up having a growth plate issue in my heel and I could barely walk. "I grew up playing soccer, so I was really invested in it growing up," explained Isaac. That was until an injury made sports impossible. Isaac was still trying out different activities and hobbies while trying to find his passion. Following his time with TF2 Isaac started playing other games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive but was never at a competitive level of TF2. He played TF2 consistently for three years through middle school and the beginning of high school. I took it really seriously at that age, but we lost most of the time to be honest. "I signed up and we went into smaller public tournaments. "I don't even remember how I got mixed up with them, but that was my first introduction to esports," Isaac recalls.
At 11 years old, Isaac was competing at an amateur level with teammates twice his age. Through YouTube, he discovered different creators and games, including his first competitive game, Team Fortress 2 (TF2). Isaac says YouTube was like his cable TV growing up.

The Phoenix native eventually graduated from the handheld and got into PC games with some help from YouTube. His grandmother bought him his very first console, the GameBoy Advance SP, which sparked his first passion. Isaac gravitated toward video games at a young age. But, between shifting to homeschooling to focus on Rocket League and retiring early to become a commentator all while cultivating a budding music career, Isaac's journey has been anything but natural.

His wealth of knowledge as a former pro paired with his signature sprightly delivery gives him a unique talent set, and his skills on the mic seem to come naturally. The 21-year-old better known by his real name, Isaac App, fit right into the broadcast team when he parked his Octane in the garage for good and picked up the headset in the booth back in 2018.
