Career

With the release of World of Warcraft Classic in 2019, Hoyt's popularity surged, and he became one of the platform's most prominent streamers in that year.[8][9] He remained one of Twitch's most popular World of Warcraft streamers during the Shadowlands launch in 2020.[10] On July 3, 2021, he played Final Fantasy XIV for the first time before hundreds of thousands of viewers.[11]

After Elon Musk was accused in January 2025 of paying third parties to boost his Path of Exile 2 account, Hoyt challenged Musk to prove that he himself had leveled a character to 97 in hardcore mode, after which Musk unfollowed Hoyt on X, removed his verification check, and posted a screenshot of their private messages. A community note under the post stated that leaking private messages without permission generally violated X's guidelines.[12][13] Musk later deleted his tweets and the two have subsequently interacted with each other on X about other topics.[14]

In November 2025, Hoyt was named in a lawsuit filed by the streamer Mizkif as a defendant alongside fellow streamer Emiru, OTK Media Inc., Mythic Talent Management Inc., and King Gaming Labs Inc. for reputational harm, lost earnings, and emotional distress.[15] The lawsuit came after Emiru accused Mizkif of "psychological and domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, sexual assault, and threats of blackmail", which was then amplified by Hoyt during his livestreams.[16]

Business ventures

In October 2020, Hoyt co-founded One True King (OTK), a streaming and content creation organization, with other content creators, including Mizkif and Esfand. In August 2022, he announced OTK's new PC building company, Starforge Systems, in collaboration with fellow content creator Cr1TiKaL.[17] The company received backlash over the high prices of their products, to which they responded by reducing their prices by $100.[18] In February 2023, Hoyt cofounded the talent agency Mythic Talent alongside fellow OTK member TipsOut, serving in an advisory capacity.[19][20] On February 21, 2025, Hoyt announced that he had stepped away from his leadership roles within the OTK organization.[21]
