    Figuring out what you want to do in life is difficult. But even if you manage it, figuring out how can be even harder.
    Pretty early on, Jeremy Wang - today known as Disguised Toast - knew that he wanted to be an entertainer. He learned magic, he made a video game, and eventually turned to content creation.
    Toast became the masked mad scientist at the top of the Hearthtone streaming world, but after a dramatic face reveal, leaving his original game behind, and even founded his own esports team.
    Disguised Toast has never shied away from a challenge, and this is the story of how he's taken risk after risk to get where he is today.

    So true. If there's one thing we can count on- it's that toast doesn't do things half heartedly. When he's commited to something- he leaves no stone unturned and gives it his all. If there's anyone who could find a solution for the Esports scene- it's him.

  • @AnimeGamer0
    @AnimeGamer0 8 місяців тому +2

    Remember this - the first Streamer to get into the eSports space is TotalBiscuit. The man was before everyone else when he helped found Axiom eSports and signed StarCraft 2 players to compete in Korea. It's sad that because of his advancing Cancer and the slow downfall of the StarCraft 2 scene that he wasn't able to branch Axiom to other eSports. TotalBiscuit really was that great Elder Gaming Statesman for the entire Gaming Industry despite getting hate from certain circles over GamerGate. He was the one behind the scenes giving advice to guys to diversify their social media platforms and push for more for Streamers. He was the one that almost got Gacha Games banned in the United States and the West if not for his Cancer - his spreading awareness of how predatory Gacha Games are especially on minors led to companies slowly moving away from Loot Boxes. And when he died, many Gaming Companies that would've been called out by TotalBiscuit ended up being more shady and more predatory - leading to some companies reputations (especially Blizzard Ent.) downfall to ruin.
    The guy was ahead of his time, and if it wasn't for his cancer - perhaps we'd be still talking about Axiom eSports. Perhaps Streamers would've jumped on the eSports scene sooner if TB was still around to guide them on the process.

    I would love to believe that if toast really was streaming on Twitch during the Among Us Boom, he would be one of the biggest streamers on the Platform, a possible top 50, maybe a bit of a long shot but top 10 streamer is possible too. But streaming on Facebook also brought about it's own benefits, with Facebook brought about massive new audiences to him, that was unique to him at the time(meaning those audiences would be focused on him, and he won't be fighting for attention).

      toast is a really smart guy, the reason he went to facebook wasn't only for the money, it was for the novelty and discussions, many people were talking about that and a lot of people learned about him. he's not just doing things on a whim, he's actually thinking about the consequences. i think he's not top of the line streamer nowadays is because he took it easy, didn't stream much after among us, didn't do collabs as much and is just focusing on his passion. If he had continued to stream what was popular, i have no doubt he'd be just as big as he was in the among us boom. if not for the fact he now needs money for his esports, he'd probably stream way less than he does now. man was about ready to retire.

    Take Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak for example. Both Gates and Woz were brainy nerds who started out as computer programmers and when they had an idea, they threw it out and became rich business people.
    Disguised Toast basically took his 3+ years of being an experienced streamer and decided to gamble his business ideas using his money and streaming experience and ofc, it panned out.
