Myth is a popular livestreamer on Twitch, known best for his time as a Fortnite pro and FPS or battle royale gameplay.
Myth began creating content far before any of his channels saw the incredible success they eventually did, beginning his YouTube in 2013. The aspiring gamer began streaming on Twitch in 2016, and primarily played one of Epic Games’ first battle royales, Paragon.
During the latter half of 2017, Myth began to see an increase in viewership while playing Fortnite. Due to the unprecedented success Fortnite enjoyed, Myth shot from 200,000 followers on Twitch to over 3.3 million in less than a year. Spearheading the Fortnite scene along with the likes of Ninja, NICKMERCS, TimTheTatman, and more, Myth was a premier figure in the emerging space.
Gradually increasing his presence in the Fortnite esports community, Myth was signed by TSM in 2018. Living alongside Hamlinz and Daequan, fellow Fortnite pros and streamers, Myth participated in countless high-stakes tournaments. The dubbed ‘Thoom House’ was only a short-lived project however, as both Daequan and Hamlinz took extended hiatuses and the team was dissolved shortly after.
Myth continued to explore the battle royale genre beyond Fortnite after the initial wave of the game’s popularity began to decline. Expanding out into Apex Legends, Warzone, Escape From Tarkov, and more, Myth saw a significant decrease in viewership as he transitioned to variety gameplay streaming.
In Dec. 2021, Myth announced he had no plans to renew his contract with TSM and eventually departed from the organization only weeks after long-time members Leena Xu and Bjergsen left. Now, Myth most consistently streams VALORANT alongside a wide variety of other streamers.
