Regen: Identity, Streaming & Staying True to Your Gamertag | The RegenNation Story
Manage episode 508436116 series 3664263
What if your gamertag wasn’t just your name, but your purpose?
In this episode of Gamertagged, we sit down with Regen, a Valorant streamer and coach whose gamertag became more than a username. From early Xbox lobbies and Call of Duty grindsets to streaming long hours after work, Regen shares how he built RegenNation: a community rooted in hype, healing, and showing up with heart.
We explore Regen’s creator story, his faith, and the pressure of staying consistent in a streaming world that doesn’t slow down. He talks about coaching with compassion, the meaning behind his tattoos, and why his digital identity will always be Regen—no matter how big the platform gets.
We Talk:
- The origin and evolution of Regen’s gamertag
- Valorant, keyboard switching, and streaming after shifts
- Identity, burnout, and faith in a digital space
- Coaching, connection, and how RegenNation grew
- What your avatar—and your mousepad—say about you
🃏 And in the ReRoll… Regen’s trading card blends gameplay edge with grounded presence: Reyna’s Leer, a backwards snapback, and his signature ink—capturing the digital persona that makes Regen… Regen.
