Early Life and Education
Jeremy Wang was born in Taiwan. Before he was one year old, his family moved to Penang, Malaysia. Later, his older brother moved to Canada for university. The rest of his family then joined him, settling in Kingston, Ontario. In 2013, Wang earned a degree in mathematics from the University of Waterloo. He had first started studying computer science.
Before he became a streamer, Wang worked as an app developer. He created apps for big companies like Mercedes-Benz, the NFL, the Royal Bank of Canada, and Zynga.
Streaming Career Highlights
Starting with Hearthstone
In 2015, Wang began creating infographics and YouTube videos. These videos showed off unusual ways to play the game Hearthstone. He shared them on the community website Reddit. For a while, Wang covered his face with a cardboard mask shaped like toast. He accidentally showed his face in October 2016. His username, Disguised Toast, and his toast mask are a funny reference to a Hearthstone card called SI:7 Agent. When you play this card in the game, it says, "This guy's toast." The famous comedian Conan O'Brien even called it "the greatest name in gaming history."
In March 2017, Wang took part in a big Hearthstone tournament at PAX East. He made it into the top 32 players. However, he overslept the next morning and was not allowed to continue playing. In June 2017, Wang was temporarily banned from Hearthstone for 72 hours. This happened because he showed a game trick, called an exploit, during his stream.
Joining OfflineTV and Growing Popularity
In October 2017, it was announced that Wang had joined OfflineTV. This is a group of content creators who live and work together in Los Angeles, California. Wang became very well-known for his Hearthstone streams. In the summer of 2019, he gained many new followers. This happened when he started streaming Riot Games' new game, Teamfight Tactics. He became even more popular during the testing phase of Riot's card game, Legends of Runeterra. At that time, he was the second most-watched streamer on Twitch. By then, he had 1.3 million followers on Twitch and 950,000 subscribers on his main YouTube channel.
In November 2019, Wang signed a special deal with Facebook. This meant he would move from Twitch to Facebook Gaming for his game streams. In May 2019, Wang was nominated for Twitch Streamer of the Year at the 11th annual Shorty Awards. In late 2019, Wang turned down an offer from Blizzard. They had asked him to show a new card from a Hearthstone expansion. He said no because of his own feelings about the game and how the community felt about it.
New Content and Collaborations
In April 2020, Wang returned to Twitch to host a new series that wasn't about gaming. This series focused on playing games with a new person each week. Between September 2020 and January 2021, Wang gained over two million subscribers and 400 million video views on YouTube. This was because many of his videos about the game Among Us became very popular. He played Among Us with many famous Twitch streamers, YouTubers, and even celebrities. These included PewDiePie, JackSepticEye, Pokimane, Jae Park, Logic, James Charles, Bretman Rock, and Mark Tuan. In late October 2020, Wang took part in an Among Us session on Twitch. He played with politicians Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar to encourage people to vote in the 2020 United States presidential election.
On August 12, 2021, Wang appeared in the music video for the song "Inferno" by Sub Urban and Bella Poarch. On November 17, 2021, Wang announced he was leaving Facebook Gaming after two years. A week later, on November 24, Wang announced he would be returning to Twitch. On January 10, 2022, Wang's Twitch account was temporarily stopped for 48 hours. This happened because he was watching the anime Death Note during his stream.
Chessboxing and Esports
On December 11, 2022, Wang took part in Ludwig Ahgren's chess boxing event. This event was called "Mogul Chessboxing Championship." Wang fought against another creator named PointCrow. Wang won the match by checkmate in the sixth round. On January 8, 2023, Wang announced his professional Valorant team called Disguised (DSG). This team competes in the North American challengers league of the 2023 Valorant Champions Tour. On March 27, 2023, Wang also announced an all-female team for Disguised. This team would compete in VCT Game Changers, which is the professional circuit for female Valorant players.
