Oliver Ryan

Oliver was born Oliver Vincent Ryan, on May 17, 1995, in Wales. He has an elder brother named Bob. Oliver and his family later moved to Wiltshire, England, where he attended 'Dauntsey's School.' He continued his academics from 'St. Joseph’s’ in Devizes, Wiltshire.

Oliver was never interested in academics. He discovered his passion for video games at a very young age and always wished to make a career out of his passion. Although he scored well in 'The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE),' he was reluctant to go to college. Instead, he started his internet business and sold gadgets and other items online. His father’s persuasion made him attend the 'Sixth Form' college. He enrolled at 'St John’s College' in Marlborough, where he chose media studies, biology, and geography as his subjects. Oliver soon got bored of studies. His attendance suffered, as he began devoting more time to his internet business.

The only thing he loved about going to college was his ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Dyer. He met her in college and instantly fell in love with her. Charlotte was already in a relationship then but broke up a month after she met Oliver. Soon, Charlotte and Oliver became friends. Eventually their relationship blossomed into a passionate romantic affair. They got engaged, too, but broke up soon after.

Oliver was exposed to gaming while in primary school. Since then, he has been passionate about gaming. In his early teens, Oliver attended the 'Eurogamer Expo (EGX),' for the first time. The event is an annual trade fair for video games held in the UK. He loved everything about the event. After returning from the event, Oliver was sure about his career choice. He attended the event for the second time after completing his college. Fascinated by the concept of gaming on 'YouTube,’ Oliver decided to create a channel of his own.

In 2013, Oliver launched his first 'YouTube' channel, 'MasterOv,' which later became his online pseudonym. The term “Ov” consists of the initials of his first and middle names. The channel hosts walkthrough gameplays for games such as 'Minecraft' and 'Clash of Clans.' In addition, Oliver has played a lot of other popular games, such as 'GTA 5,' 'Diep.io,' 'Slither.io,' 'Bloons TD Battles,' and 'Pokémon Go.' The channel is now a sensation and one of the most-viewed gaming channels on 'YouTube,’ with over two million subscribers. In January 2015, the channel had attained the 87th position on the list of the most-viewed gaming channels worldwide.

Oliver has a vlog channel, too, named 'Hollie & Ollie.' He manages the channel with his girlfriend, Hollie. Initially, it was a gaming channel named 'OVPlays,' which he had created along with his ex-fiancée. This channel currently has a subscription count of around 257 thousand. Oliver had also created his third channel, 'Grand MasterOv,' which was supposed to be an online chess game channel. However, the channel is inactive now.

Oliver’s 'Instagram' posts have earned him around 42 thousand followers on the platform.
