Early life, family
Thang “SpaceLyon” Phan was born under the zodiac sign of Leo on 28 July 1993 in the United States, into a family Vietnam; he is currently living in Massachusetts. He has several siblings – his eldest brother’s name is Tam, who often looked after him when SpaceLyon was a little kid. He also has a sister named Tuyen, who recently gave birth to a daughter, SpaceLyon’s niece who is named Milo. Nothing is known about his other siblings and parents, as he prefers to keep this information low-key. All that is known about his childhood is that he developed a strong interest for video games, and spent all his spare time playing them.
Education
It is known that SpaceLyon matriculated from a local high school in 2011; there is no indication that he entered or graduated from a university or a college, so there is a gap of a few years before he came to notice as a gamer..
Career
The beginning of Twitch career
SpaceLyon created his Twitch channel in January 2017. Though Twitch was already almost full with a huge variety of gamers of all types, SpaceLyon was sure that he had to test himself since he believed that he had a lot to show to the world of professional gaming. He started streaming playing games in the genre of battle royal, which are survivals where the last man standing wins. Such games never age since a lot of players are involved in one battle, and they have to bring the highest level of creativity to the gaming process to find good weapons and kill all their enemies, who are other players. The most interesting battles happen when players have to make weapons out of simple things such as pieces of furniture and kitchen tools.
The first game SpaceLyon started streaming was the highly popular “H1Z1”; the main difficulty of the game was that along with real player enemies one has to survive a zombie apocalypse. SpaceLyon always chose the standalone mode called “King of the Kill” in which he battles only real people.
FaZe clan career
In 2018, SpaceLyon was noticed by the famous gaming organization called FaZe clan, which invited him to become a member of their team, so he started participating in professional tournaments under their aegis, including in the team which competed in the game “Fortnite: Battle Royale”. As for now, he plays solo and in duos for FaZe Clan. He also became a competitor in the game called “PUBG” (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) which is also a very popular survival. During 2018 SpaceLyon participated in more than 15 tournaments, though he didn’t manage to win any – he made his best result in the major league of “Fortnite Fall Skirmish: Week 1 – Trial”, getting to the third place and winning $3,750. He also won the prize of $7,675 for getting to the seventh line in “Fortnite Summer Skirmish: Week 7 – North America Day 2”, playing in duo with Poach. By the end of the year he had only reached poor lines of 33rd and 44th places, and hadn’t shown any skills in the new gaming tournaments, though FaZe clan still believes SpaceLyon hasn’t shown the best of himself yet.

During a long period of time there were only rumors about SpaceLyon’s personal life. He has been seen with several female gamers and fans, but didn’t confirm any rumors about his relationship status. It then became official that he is dating a girl named Jenncobo – they both started posting their photos on their Instagram accounts, confirming they were dating from the beginning of 2019. Jenncobo is 25 years old and lives in Massachusetts, USA. She is a fan of rave parties and visits them often, together with her friends and SpaceLyon. She also loves surfing and going to the gym.
