For news and updates, Krishanu goes straight to the source — official social media announcements, press releases, and live developer streams. However, when it comes to in-depth guides, he knows there's no substitute for experience. He draws on his gameplay knowledge to provide tried-and-tested tips and strategies.

Krishanu's content has raked in over 3 million reads in less than two years. He has interviewed many professional esports players, including Valorant stars Mimi, Juliano, Daiki, meL, and Roxi, as well as HLTV award winner and Counter-Strike 2 player Zywoo.

Krishanu was drawn to online video games when introduced to Dota 2 and the Counter-Strike titles as a teenager. He has since moved on to multiplayer shooters like Valorant, CS2, Call of Duty, and Apex Legends. Among these, he favors the fast-paced battle royale gameplay of Apex Legends; if given a chance, Krishanu would love to drop into the arena and learn the lore first-hand. He is incredibly excited about the future of gaming as advanced hardware and the endless potential of AI have already begun eroding the distinction between reality and simulation.

Krishanu is an avid follower of Valorant esports tournaments. He used to be a Sentinels fan but is currently rooting for Paper Rex (PRX), especially after their impressive showing at the VCT 2024 Masters Madrid.

In his downtime, Krishanu likes capturing moments on film and editing videos. He keenly observes different shots and production-grade lighting techniques when watching movies and TV shows. He also likes listening to music and discovering new genres.
