Early life and education

Streaming career

In 2015, Wang began making infographics and YouTube videos in which he showcased unusual card interactions in Hearthstone, shared on the community aggregation site Reddit. [10] Wang covered his face with a toast-shaped cardboard mask until he revealed his face by mistake in October 2016. [11] Wang's username and toast-mask are a reference to a Hearthstone card, SI:7 Agent. When played in-game, the voice line for the card reads "This guy's toast". [12] Comedian Conan O'Brien called it "the greatest name in gaming history." [13]

In March 2017, Wang competed in the ONOG Major Circuit at PAX East. [14] Despite making it into the top 32, he overslept the following morning and was disqualified. [15]

In June 2017, Wang was temporarily banned from Hearthstone for 72 hours in response to an instance in which he showcased an exploit on stream. [16] [17]

It was announced in October 2017 that Wang had joined OfflineTV, a collective of content creators living together in Los Angeles, California. [18] [19]

In November 2019, Wang signed an exclusive deal with Facebook to move from Twitch to Facebook Gaming for his gaming streams. [20]

In May 2019, Wang was nominated as Twitch Streamer of the Year in the 11th annual Shorty Awards. [21]

In late 2019, Wang turned down an offer from Blizzard in which he was asked to reveal a new card from the Saviors of Uldum expansion, citing his personal feelings on Hearthstone as well as negative community reaction. [22]

In April 2020, Wang returned to Twitch to host a new non-gaming series called "Blind eDating". The series focuses on dating a new girl each week and playing games with them. [23]

Between September 2020 and January 2021, Wang received an influx of more than two million subscribers and 400 million video views on YouTube [24] as a result of a number of his videos based on the game Among Us trending. He has played with a number of notable Twitch streamers, YouTubers, and celebrities in these videos, including PewDiePie, JackSepticEye, Pokimane, Jae Park, Logic, James Charles, Bretman Rock, and Mark Tuan.
