Known for
On January 26, 2015, steel officially left Torqued after being banned by Valve.

steel started his professional Counter-Strike career in Source. Following the transition to Global Offensive, he most notably led iBUYPOWER and Torqued. In 2015, he was permanently banned from competition or involvement in Valve-associated events due to his involvement in the North American match fixing scandal. Before making his return to Counter-Strike in 2017, he previously played Overwatch competitively for Splyce. The second part of his Counter-Strike career was marked by teams such as Torqued, GX, Ghost Gaming and Chaos Esports Club. After having played professional Counter-Strike for nine years, he retired in August 2020 after being signed by 100 Thieves as part of their VALORANT squad.

Career

Joshua started gaming back when he was a child. Though initially introduced to CS through his brother's friend, it was only until the release of CS:S that he began to dedicate significant time into the series. The pinnacle of his CS career was playing with Team Dynamic at DSRack LAN #3 because he had just been acquired by a team that was not only the top North American competitor, but also the only team to contend internationally for years. They placed 2nd behind VeryGames in this tournament, solidifying his place in the top echelons of competitive CS. His favorite event was Copenhagen Games 2012 because it was the longest trip he had taken with a CS team. This trip gave Nissan the time to learn about the game and spend quality time with his teammates while exploring a new country. Although they placed 4th at the event, they eliminated VeryGames before going down, the team that had previously clinched the tournament win at DSRack #3. Later, he was taken on under the iBUYPOWER banner with hopes to win the first major championship for a North American team. During his time at iBUYPOWER he was crucial in defending their Season 15 ESEA LAN title at the Season 16 ESEA LAN and mentored the talents of Sam "DaZeD" Marine and other teammates.
