Early Life and Education

William Li was born on November 25, 1989, in Houston, Texas, to Chinese immigrant parents who prioritized education, hoping he would pursue a career as an astronaut, doctor, or lawyer.

Raised in a traditional Asian household, he moved with his family to Katy, Texas, for better educational opportunities.

Scarra excelled academically, earning all A’s in middle school, but struggled with subjects like physics in high school, which steered him away from his parents’ career expectations.

He had a stuttering problem as a child, leading his parents to enroll him in a high school debate club to improve his confidence.

Scarra attended Texas A&M University, majoring in economics, but dropped out in 2012 to pursue a professional gaming career.

His early gaming interest developed through playing World of Warcraft, which transitioned to League of Legends after its 2009 release.

Career

Scarra’s esports career began in 2010 with Rock Solid, alongside players like Naryt, Rambo, Voyboy, Araragi, and Th3RaT, placing third at the Newegg Winter Wanfest 2010.

In 2011, Rock Solid was acquired by Team Dignitas, where Scarra became a prominent mid-laner, known for his Katarina play and the phrase “Getting the reset” tied to her passive ability.

Notable achievements include defeating Epik Gamer 2-1 at IGN Proleague Season 3 (2011), winning $20,000 at the Curse Invitational, and placing third at IEM Season VI Kyiv.

In 2013, he was voted NA LCS mid-lane All-Star with over 50% of the vote, competing in Shanghai.

He retired from professional play in 2014, briefly coached Team Dignitas, and joined Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) as a coach in 2014, though a poaching scandal with CLG led to a $10,000 fine and a three-week coaching ban.

In 2017, Scarra co-founded OfflineTV with manager Chris Chan, recruiting creators like Pokimane and Michael Reeves, fostering group content and merchandise sales.

He joined Echo Fox’s Delta Fox in the Challenger Series (2017) and played for the Meme Stream Dream Team in exhibition tournaments like the Tyler1 Championship Series (2017–2018).

As a Twitch streamer since May 7, 2011, Scarra streams League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics (with Disguised team), and a variety of content like Genshin Impact, amassing over 1.6 million Twitch followers and 111 million views.

His YouTube channel, with 755,000 subscribers, features gameplay and OfflineTV content, generating 206 million views.
