Formerly ranked first in the USA for the strategy video game Starcraft, Schreiber moved to South Korea in 2004 from Commack, New York to compete as a professional gamer. Yet, he found his true calling as an online poker pro while playing on Pokerstars and has since become a member of Team PokerStars.
