Getting to know Josh “gryph” Ramsbottom from our Overwatch squad.
gryph’s first exposure to games was when he won an OG PlayStation when he was five years old. “From there, my love of gaming grew. I started playing multiplayer games at internet cafes when I was about 12 or 13 and got hooked on the competitive aspect of multiplayer games. In my early teens I discovered the local Battle.net server and through that, DotA. A few years later, Overwatch was released and I decided to focus my competitive efforts on it instead”.
As for his nickname? “My original nickname was ‘gryphon’ but I shortened it a few years ago. I’ve used the same nickname since I started playing the original DotA back in the day. I was really into hockey (one of the big brands in the sport being Gryphon) and I really like the mythical animal as well. Gryphons have the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion and combine the traits of both animals”.
