MISS RAGE #Behindthetag
Julia, also known as Miss Rage, is a 29 year old fulltime streamer based in austria. Why the rage? Well her former Nickname was "ToDieFor", but her friends in WOW started calling her ”Miss Rage” because she threw tantrums regularly, even throwing a monitor out of a window at one point. oups!
For MissRage, the interest in gaming began with the first edition Game Boy and N64 but she moved on to PC when a friend invited her to play World of Warcraft. Ultimately it was CSGO that brought out her competitive side and she was part of an all-female team for over two years. Today, the social aspects of streaming made her transition into having it as a full-time job. In her own words that was the: “best desicion ever!”

What is your favorite game thats close to your heart?
-I got a love and hate relationship with csgo. It brings out my competitiveness, i used to play it professional in a full female team for over 2 years. when i play it casual with friends it can also bring out the worst in me. I love about it that its simple to understand for people that watch it, but also brings a lot of depth to the table once you get into it.

How did you get into gaming in the first place?
-I guess you can say it started with my first game boy (the big gray one :D), moved on to a N64 and later got my first PC.

-I really got into online gaming when i was 16, so really late sadly. one of my best friends wanted to get a mount in WOW that you would get when you refer a friend. thats how i got hooked.
-I played wow for many years, witched to LOL later and found CSGO 5 years ago but as i said earlier, CSGO brought out the competitiveness in me, which changed a lot.
-Streaming started for me as a way to find friends to play with. where i am from, not a lot of people play video games. i watched a lot of streams early on when twitch became a thing (even back when it was still justin.tv). one day i thought i could just stream when i play, it wouldnt hurt. I made many new friends and it grew into what i call my job today. best desicion ever.
When did you realise gaming could be your thing?
-When i got really addicted to World of Warcraft. I started finding excuses why i couldnt go out with friends in IRL, just to raid :D

-Dont invest thousands of € in expensive gear. nowadays you can stream with the shittiest gear and still have a great stream. re-invest whatever you make through ur stream, theres no point in buying a 5k streaming setup,
if you dont know if you will succeed.
