He’s currently fighting an embittered battle to get even slightly competitive at Apex Legends. He has a particular interest in peripherals and loves messing around with his setup.

Ever since Craig opened his PS2 console for Christmas way back in the early 2000’s, his life became fixed on playing games.

He soon after discovered PC Gaming, creating accounts for games like World of Warcraft and League of Legends, two games he has played ever since. At some point, Craig decided to write about them in his spare time, inevitably leading to his position as a resident esports and competitive gaming writer at BGFG.
