Career

Kolcheff has earned over $190,000 in Fortnite prizes.[2]

In May 2019, Kolcheff had a falling out and split from 100 Thieves, citing failed promises and poor management. He joined FaZe Clan later that month.[4]

Despite offers from rival streaming services, Kolcheff said he would stay with Twitch.[5] Kolcheff has garnered upwards of 70,000 viewers on Twitch.[6] He is estimated to have earned $6 million in 2019 and was the 10th highest earning gamer that year.[7]

In May 2023, a skin based on Kolcheff was announced for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.[8] The skin was removed from the game a month later due to a tweet he made in reaction to a fight that broke out in California as a result of schools trying to include lessons about the LGBT community in the curriculum, stating "They should leave little children alone. That's the real issue".[9]
