Originally Allen is from Fort Scott, Kansas, which is why he decided to go to FSCC.
“This is just where I grew up; Fort Scott isn’t far from home so I decided to stay here,” said Allen.
Allen is in the process of getting his Associate’s Degree, and plans to study computer science.
“Once I get out of school my dream is to be playing esports competitively at a pro-level. I also want to be a content creator, but I, of course, will have a backup plan if it doesn’t work out,” said Allen.
Currently, Allen is a player on the FSCC esports team, the Gaming Greyhounds. He plays Valorant and is an Immortal 2 Player. As an Immortal Player, Allen is in the top 0.5% of players in North America.
“I got into Valorant during the beta; I heard Riot was making a new game and I decided to try it out,” said Allen, “I didn’t completely get into [Valorant] until mid-episode 2. I keep trying to improve, I have a little bit of CSGO experience that I feel like has transferred over to Valorant.”
How would you describe your esports team?
“It’s been amazing so far. I did not have a highschool esports team so this is my first team I have ever been on. It feels pretty awesome to be a part of a collegiate team. My teammates are great and so is my coach,” said Allen.
Allen plans to keep playing esports for as long as he possibly can and hopes that this school year will bring him great success.
