Introduction
Dyrus (real name – Marcus Hill) is a former eSports professional gamer who competed on North America’s top team and became a content creator on Twitch and YouTube.
Marcus is best known for his League of Legends content.
Biography
He was born on March 30, 1992, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Hill grew up in Honolulu.
After his graduation, Dyrus began working grudgingly in his father’s plumbing shop.
His dad (nicknamed – Dadyrus) actually hired him, however, he fired him when Dyrus said he wanted to become a professional League of Legends player.
”About this time I had no clue about being able to make a living in E-sports,” explained Dadyrus. He added: ”Dyrus never talked about being a pro gamer, and at this time in his life, our relationship was being strained by broken promises between him and I.”
League of Legends
Dyrus’ first competitive role was as a support player for ”All or Nothing,” one of the first competitive LoL teams.
Immediately after All or Nothing disbanded, he joined Epik Gamer as the team’s top laner.
When TheRainMan (the top laner for Team SoloMid between April 2011 and March 2012) stepped down from Team SoloMid (TSM) in March 2012, Hill left Epik Gamer to replace him as the new top laner.
Marcus actually became the leader of TSM after joining LoL during its beta phase. Team SoloMid won the 2014 Spring split and the 2014 Summer split.
Team SoloMid also won the regular season and the playoffs of the 2015 Spring NA LCS as well as the Intel Extreme Masters Season IX Katowice World Finals.
At the start of 2012, to deal with the high ping times he had playing from Hawaii, Marcus moved to New York to live in the gaming house with TSM.
Wіth his teams, Hill hаѕ раrtісіраtеd іn numerous еvеntѕ such as:
- ІGN РrоLеаguе;
- МLG Рrоvіdеnсе;

- МLG Рrо Сіrсuіt;
- Rіоt Ѕеаѕоn Оnе Сhаmріоnѕhір.
In 2011, Marcus won thе Wоrld Суbеr Gаmе Grаnd Fіnаlѕ fоr Сhісkѕ Dіg Еlо.
He has more than 1,4 million followers on Twitch, where his live streams commonly attract viewer counts of over 15,000 people on a regular basis.
He was voted by League of Legends fans twice to be part of the North American LoL All-Stars, including once after his retirement.
He retired from professional play after the 2015 World Championship.
One year after retirement, Dyrus said:
”Retiring has made my life easier but it’s still almost the same amount of work, it’s more that you get to choose when you work and when you rest. Instead of having a set schedule, you can go at your own pace.”
His favorite champion is Singed, through which he acquired rank one within the beta phase.
