DANIEL WESTROP

Hey there, I'm Daniel Westrop, the heart and soul behind WhatIfGaming. My love affair with gaming started back in 2003, diving headfirst into the adrenaline-packed world of Unreal Tournament. That spark has only grown fiercer over the years.

Now, let’s talk CS2: I'm not just dabbling in it — I've invested over 3,000 hours, grinding my way to the esteemed Global Elite title. Every victory, every defeat, it’s all been a lesson, molding me into the player I am today. As for Fortnite? I've ridden the rollercoaster from the very first season. Those seemingly chaotic battles? I've turned them into strategic masterclasses, climbing the ranks with tenacity.

And when we venture into Call of Duty, believe me, I've seen it all. From the trenches to the pinnacle of Black Ops 3, my strategic mind and relentless drive have always had me standing tall.

Even in the tranquil realms of Minecraft, my creations are more than just blocks — they're a testament to my deep understanding of the game. And while I adore the thrill my Xbox gives me with those high-speed Forza races, my heart truly belongs to PC gaming. That's where my expertise truly comes alive.

At WhatIfGaming, I'm not just setting the tone — I'm redefining it. I pour all my years of gaming wisdom into every insight, critique, and guide I share. Because at WhatIfGaming, we don't just play games — we conquer them.

when did you start playing games?

I began my gaming journey in 2003 when our next-door neighbor generously gave us his old PC, complete with Unreal Tournament (1999) already installed. From that moment on, I was hooked and never turned back.
