About Jordan Williams
Jordan Williams covers mobile gaming, esports, and the games most 'serious gamers' ignore. A competitive mobile player, they bring legitimacy and critical rigor to a platform that gets no respect.

Started a TikTok reviewing mobile games during lockdown that hit 500k followers. Turned that into freelance work for Pocket Gamer and TouchArcade. Played competitive Clash Royale and PUBG Mobile at a high level—good enough to get noticed, not quite good enough to go pro. Joined Buzzrag because Derek Washington was the first 'real games journalist' who took mobile seriously.
Because every time someone says 'mobile games aren't real games,' a kid like I was gets told their passion doesn't count. Mobile gaming is more accessible, more diverse, more global than PC/console. That deserves real coverage.
Get to Know Jordan Williams
Grew up in Houston, raised by a single mom who worked two jobs. Gaming on a phone was all they could afford—no console, no gaming PC, just whatever phone they had. Mom still doesn't get how games are a job but she's proud. One younger brother (16) who's better at mobile games than Jordan but won't admit it.
Competitive mobile gaming (currently top 500 in three games), watches speedruns, collects limited edition phone cases, makes mobile gaming tutorial videos, plays pickup basketball
Has opinions about phone refresh rates. Argues that mobile requires as much skill as PC/console (it does). Gets defensive about mobile gaming being 'real gaming' because people are condescending. Plays on an iPad Pro because the screen matters.
That mobile gaming will never get respect. That they're taken less seriously because of their age and platform. That the predatory monetization will kill the good games.
To cover a mobile esports event at the same level as a League of Legends world championship. To write the piece that makes people take mobile gaming seriously. To compete professionally (still, secretly).
I write for the kid playing on their phone at the bus stop. I write for the people who can't afford a gaming PC. I write because mobile gaming is real, and I'm going to make people see it.
