Some stories don’t begin with a strategy. They begin with curiosity. For Abdulelah Alsaqabi, known today as MrLLE, the journey started with a controller, a screen, and time. No roadmap. No guarantees. Just a young Saudi experimenting with games, conversation, and the simple joy of sharing moments online. What followed was not a straight line, but a real one. Pauses, setbacks, returns, and growth. The kind of story many young Saudis recognize, and respect.
Today, Abdulelah stands as one of Saudi Arabia’s recognizable digital gaming and entertainment creators. Not because he chased fame. But because he stayed himself long enough for people to stay with him.
Foundations & Beginnings
Born in Al-Houtah and now based in Riyadh, Abdulelah grew up during the early rise of YouTube in the Arab world. He discovered the platform early, when content creation felt more like play than profession. His first video was about the game Happy Wheels. Simple. Unpolished. Honest. There were no advanced edits or professional setups. What carried the content was his voice, his reactions, and his comfort speaking naturally. He uploaded consistently, learning by doing, without overthinking the result.
“I just enjoyed talking and sharing,”
Later, through Skype, he connected with another gamer. The two played Minecraft daily, building worlds and conversations. Eventually, Abdulelah suggested turning that routine into something public. The result was his first channel: LLE Gamers. It was his first step from player to creator.
The First Pause
Early on, Abdulelah went through a quiet pause, a normal part of building anything from scratch. Around 2012, he posted less and took a step back while he figured out his direction. But even then, the signs were there. The channel had already reached around 600 subscribers, proving that people were paying attention. What brought him back wasn’t numbers. It was community. Friends he gamed with on PlayStation encouraged him to return and keep creating, and that support helped spark his next chapter.
The Reset
When Abdulelah returned, he reset. He changed the channel name to X Fifa Time HD, and began uploading a different kind of content. Fortnite sessions with friends became a new focus. In the beginning, it was mostly voice-only. No face cam. Just reactions, teamwork, and jokes. Then he turned the camera on.
It was a small technical change, but a big emotional one. Face cam brought presence. It made the audience feel closer. It turned “watching gameplay” into “hanging out with LLE.”
The Moment That Mattered
Every creator has a moment when momentum changes. For LLE, it came when Abu Omar (Yousef Hanawi), a well-known Saudi YouTuber and streamer in the gaming and entertainment space, noticed his channel. A retweet. A subscription. A mention in a video highlighting creators he admired. It was a public signal of trust from someone with influence. And it worked. The channel moved from 700-800 subscribers to 1,000. These are not just a number, but a psychological milestone. It marked the transition from “trying” to “rising.”
Stepping Into Professional Gaming Culture
Growth brought opportunity. Abdulelah received a contract offer from Mr. Fifa to join the Multi Gamer team. For the first time, content creation felt structured. Professional. Intentional. He spent one year with the team, learning what it meant to create under expectations, schedules, and shared vision. Then he chose to start a new team with friends, a decision that reflected his preference for creative comfort and authenticity over rigidity.
During this phase, multiple esports organizations reached out, including POWR and Falcons. At first, Abdulelah declined. Later, he reconsidered. He joined Team Falcons, one of the region’s most prominent esports organizations. He has now been with them for two and a half years, a period marked by stability, maturity, and sustained visibility.
What Abdulelah Creates Today
Abdulelah Alsaqabi's content has expanded far beyond gaming. On YouTube, his channel Abdulelah features:
- Vlogs
- Experiments
- Challenges
- Entertainment-driven gaming moments
His most talked-about video, “Lawyer LLE Batman - Better Call LLE”,
achieved exceptionally high viewership and highlighted his ability to blend pop culture, humor, and personal character into viral formats.
Why His Audience Stays
Abdulelah’s early content was built on humor, everyday moments, and light experiences, and that foundation never changed. It simply evolved. Over time, he refined his video concepts, improved visual quality, and strengthened how he interacts with his audience, but the core stayed human. He doesn’t speak at people, he speaks with them, and that relatability helped him enter the circle of recognized Saudi YouTubers without losing the tone that built his base. “He doesn’t pretend,” is a common sentiment among viewers, and that kind of authenticity is rare currency.
Recognition & Momentum
In 2024, Abdulelah Alsaqabi was nominated by Saudi Esports for “Best Streamer”, a recognition that reflects not only numbers, but presence within the Saudi gaming and entertainment ecosystem. His following may not be the largest, yet. But it is engaged. Growing. Loyal. And that matters more.
Cultural Context
Abdulelah's journey mirrors a larger Saudi story. A generation that started creating before content creation was a career. A generation that learned publicly, failed publicly, returned publicly. His growth aligns with Vision 2030’s creative shift where gaming, digital entertainment, and youth-driven platforms are no longer hobbies, but industries. Abdulelah didn’t wait for the moment. He grew with the ecosystem.
Legacy & What Comes Next
Abdulelah Alsaqabi is still early in his story, but his legacy is already visible:
- Persistence over speed
- Personality over performance
- Consistency over hype
He proves that you don’t need to reinvent yourself to grow. You need to refine yourself. “I’m still learning,” his journey suggests. And that mindset is exactly why his next chapter matters.
