Mangel Rogel Facts
When he was 3 years old, Miguel’s family moved from Barcelona to the southern city of Granada, in the Andalusia region of Spain.
Miguel started his channel in March 2006 but uploaded his first video only in 2008.
His channel focuses on gameplay and commentary on games like GTA saga, Mario Kart, Larry, Octodad, and Minecraft. Despite his eyesight issues, he has become a popular gamer on YouTube. In 2012, he nicknamed his followers as ‘Marvados’.
In 2013, he moved out and lived with YouTube superstar Rubén Doblas (El Rubius) for a year. He had met him in 2012 and had kept in touch with him online. The duo has frequently collaborated on YouTube and their relationship has been dubbed a bromance by their fans, who gave them the moniker of ‘Rubelangel’.
In 2014, he returned to Spain and started living with his cousin, Abraham Bandera (Senor Cheeto), another YouTuber.
As his popularity has grown, he has been made a partner of online multimedia platforms like Machinima and BoomerangLIVE.
Once during a live broadcast of one of his gaming videos, Miguel mistakenly left his private account panel open on the screen, leaving his YouTube earnings visible to everyone who was watching the streaming.
In 2015, Miguel launched a book titled Salseo Gamer (Gamer Sauce). He co-wrote it with YouTubers Alexby11 and Senor Cheeto. The book was not just a humorous take on the life of an expert videogame player, it also was a cautionary tale on how such a lifestyle could strain someone’s health and how such situations could be avoided.
He loves pet animals and has a cat named Johnny and he often posts updates about Johnny on his Instagram page.
He also has a line of merchandise which he sells online.
