S8UL Esports’ popular content creator Gulrez “JokerKiHaveli” Khan recently shared his journey of how he joined the organization. He began by recalling his success as a YouTube creator, where he gained a significant following and even received support from popular creators such as Tanmay Bhat, Naman “MortaL” Mathur, and Tanmay “Scout” Singh. However, after experiencing a decline in his channel’s viewership and struggling to find the right platform and people to stream with, JokerKiHaveli considered leaving the career altogether. Before doing so, he reached out to a specific person and was eventually invited to S8UL Esports’ bootcamp, where he was welcomed to join the organization.
JokerKiHaveli’s journey to Joining S8UL Esports
JokerKiHaveli joined S8UL Esports on 19th July 2022. As he was one of the most entertaining creators in the community, fans were excited to have him in their favorite organization.
In a recent livestream, a viewer asked JokerKiHaveli how he joined S8UL Esports. Responding to this, he shared his journey from being an independent creator to joining one of the most prominent Indian organizations. He stated that he was doing well in his YouTube journey, getting decent viewership, and popular creators like Tanmay Bhat, MortaL, and Scout raided his channel. This led to an increase in viewership and growth for his channel, reaching 200k subscribers after the birth of his son Mazin.
However, after February, his channel started to decline, and he found it difficult to find the right platform and people to stream with. “I lost all my friends due to streaming. I had no one. It was only my family and me in my small home,” he added.
Following the downfall of his channel, JokerKiHaveli started considering his options for what he could do. “I made a decision, as I wasn’t able to earn enough even though I had talent. I decided to go back to Qatar, where I used to work before. I decided to return to Qatar and work again as my saved money was burned, and I didn’t have anything. I was demotivated,” he added.
JokerKiHaveli stated that he decided to take another shot before moving to Qatar. “I decided to talk with a person, hoping that he would reply. So I messaged them, they replied, they called, we talked, and they asked me to wait for 16 days, after which they would visit my house to meet me,” he said.
Unfortunately, that specific person got busy and could not meet with JokerKiHaveli, so he decided to reach out to him again. “They got busy, and those 16 days turned into one or one and a half months, so I contacted them again from my end and reminded them that they had to meet me. So they asked me to visit the bootcamp,” he said.
Following this, JokerKiHaveli revealed that S8UL Esports’ co-owner Animesh “Thug” Agarwal reached out to him and called him to S8UL Esports’ bootcamp, where he met the organization’s members Pochi and co-owner Lokesh “Goldy” Jain. “Thug messaged me, called me, and I went to the bootcamp. In the bootcamp, I met Pochi, talked with Thug, and then talked about 8bit. Then, I told him I would always make him proud, asked him to trust me, and requested to let me join. Goldy patted me on the back and asked to make the announcement. That’s it,” he said.
