Rubius (Rubén Doblas)

Born February 13, 1990, in Mijas, Andalusia, Spain, to a Norwegian mother and Spanish father, Rubén Doblas Gundersen pioneered Spanish-language gaming comedy on YouTube starting in 2006. His main YouTube channel elrubiusOMG grew to 40.7 million subscribers and 8.25 billion views, fueled by Skyrim montages, vlogs, and his 2012 Minecraft song parody Minero. In 2016, Time magazine named him a Next Generation Leader, and in March 2018, his 100-creator Fortnite tournament drew over 1 million live viewers. Later in 2018, he shifted his primary live-streaming focus to Twitch, where he organized major community events including the 70-streamer Rust series Egoland in January 2021, which reached 1.2 million viewers. Beyond streaming, Doblas published the bestselling book El Libro Troll, created the Movistar+ anime series Virtual Hero, appeared as a playable character in Watch Dogs: Legion, and starred in the Amazon Prime Video documentary Rubius X.
