Kyle Miller (electronic sports player)

Kyle "ksharp" Miller (born August 21, 1984)^[1] is an electronic sports player who played Counter-Strike 1.6 and moved to Counter-Strike Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. His success allowed him to defer attending college while earning a living as a gamer.

Career

Miller entered the American Counter-Strike (CS) players scene with the teams "CK3" and "NHG", but he made a name for himself with the team "X3". While Miller prefers using the automatic rifles the M4 and AK-47 in CS, he is best known for his sniping skills with the AWM (referred to as the AWP by most Counter-Strike players).

Miller, along with clanmates Ronald "Rambo" Kim and Sean "Bullseye" Morgan, left X3 and formed Team 3D (Desire, Discipline, and Dedication) which would later be renamed 3D.NY after the team was drafted into the Championship Gaming Series. He has won two Cyberathlete Professional League tournaments with X3 and one with Team 3D. He also has several CAL-Invite championships under his belt, as well as two World Cyber Games championships.

Near the end of March 2006, Miller became an inactive member of Team 3D but remained a part of the team.^[2] Miller continued working with ESEA of the ESEA League and Team 3D, and, in January 2007, returned to Team 3D.^[3] Team 3D then moved to Counter-Strike Source (CSS) to compete in DirecTV's ill-fated Championship Gaming Series (CGS), with a roster of Kyle 'Ksharp' Miller, Jon "Juan" Mumm and Nick "nicKn0iT" Nowakowski (both from Team Pandemic), Mikey 'method' So, Sal 'Volcano' Garozzo, manager and coach Dave 'Moto' Geffon.^[4] With the folding of the CGS, it threw all the players into limbo, as the future of the competitive CSS scene seemed uncertain. On December 26, 2008 Jax Money Crew announced the signing of 3D.NY mainstays Garozzo and So.^[5]
