Kolcheff is a full-time streamer on Twitch with 2.8M subscribers. He gained a reputation in the competitive Gears of War community before rising to prominence as a Fortnite streamer for 100 Thieves . He gained notoriety by being one of the only top-level players to compete in tournaments using a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard. This is considered by most players of Fortnite and similar games to be a competitive disadvantage.
This year has proven to be one of several changes and partnerships for the gaming influencer. Kolcheff partnered with the NFL to play Fortnite Battle Royale with Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariotta and Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins as part of the 2019 NFL Draft.
In May, Kolcheff released his own merchandise line named “The Homecoming Collection,” exited 100 Thieves, and joined FaZe Clan . Last month, Kolcheff announced a partnership with Razer for its new energy drink, Respawn.
