Isaiah “TriForce” Johnson
2000's Era Gamer
Class of 2016 Inductee
On November 11, 2017, Isaiah TriForce Johnson was inducted into the International Video Game Hall of Fame as a member of the IVGHOF Class of 2016.
Isaiah TriForce Johnson is an accomplished leader in the global eSports community and industry.
He is the Founder and CEO of the eSports team Empire Arcadia.
His team was recognized by Guinness World Records as the “Most Documented Tournament Winning” eSports team in the world.
He retired from the competitive field as a pro player in 2015 at the Cyberbox eSports League after winning 20 straight tournaments with no losses.
His winning streak tallied his team’s 2,000th tournament victory, a fact noted by Guinness World Records.
He has over 30 world records on the Twin Galaxies Scoreboard and 8 Guinness World Records in gaming.
Despite his accomplishments in the competitive arena, TriForce is most recognized for his efforts in preserving eSports history along with developing platforms for its community and industry’s future. TriForce is one of the few players who has been a champion in both the classic and modern eras of eSports — a career that spans its 35+ year history to date.
He uses his influence and resources to help promote the true origins of eSports, such as its birthplace in Ottumwa, Iowa.
TriForce continues his work to connect eSports’ past infrastructure to its modern industrial revolution and spreads that history throughout other regions of the world, such as Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa.
Triforce has devoted the next chapter of his gaming career to educating the world about eSports’ three-decade-old history and who he claims to be its founding father, Walter Day.
