Early Life and School
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, Jeremy earned a degree in mathematics from the University of Waterloo. Before becoming a full-time streamer, he worked as an app developer for big companies like Mercedes Benz and the NFL.
Streaming Career
In 2015, Jeremy started making infographics and YouTube videos about Hearthstone. He showed off unusual card tricks in the game. At first, he covered his face with a cardboard mask shaped like toast. He accidentally showed his face in October 2016.
His username and toast mask come from a Hearthstone card called SI:7 Agent. When you play the card, it says, "This guy's toast." The famous comedian Conan O'Brien even called it "the greatest name in gaming history."
In March 2017, Jeremy competed in a Hearthstone tournament at PAX East. He made it into the top 32, but he overslept the next morning and was disqualified. In June 2017, he was temporarily banned from Hearthstone for showing a game glitch on his stream.
In October 2017, it was announced that Jeremy had joined OfflineTV. This is a group of content creators who live together in Los Angeles, California.
Jeremy became very well-known for his Hearthstone streams. In the summer of 2019, he gained many new fans by streaming Teamfight Tactics. He also got more followers during the test phase of Legends of Runeterra. At that time, he was the second most-watched streamer on Twitch.
In November 2019, Jeremy signed a special deal with Facebook to stream his games only on Facebook Gaming. In May 2019, he was nominated for Twitch Streamer of the Year at the 11th Shorty Awards.
In April 2020, Jeremy started a new non-gaming series on Twitch called "Blind eDating." In this show, he would go on a "date" with a new person each week and play games with them.
Between September 2020 and January 2021, Jeremy gained over two million subscribers on YouTube. This happened because many of his videos about the game Among Us became very popular. He played Among Us with many famous streamers, YouTubers, and celebrities. These included PewDiePie, JackSepticEye, and Pokimane. In October 2020, Jeremy played Among Us on Twitch with US politicians Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. They did this to encourage people to vote in the 2020 US presidential election.
On August 12, 2021, Jeremy appeared in the music video for the song "Inferno" by Sub Urban and Bella Poarch.
On November 17, 2021, Jeremy announced he was leaving Facebook Gaming after two years. A week later, on November 24, he announced his return to Twitch.
On January 10, 2022, Jeremy's Twitch account was suspended for 48 hours. This happened because he was watching the anime Death Note on his stream.
On December 11, 2022, Jeremy took part in a chess boxing event called "Mogul Chessboxing Championship." He fought another creator named PointCrow and won by checkmate in the sixth round.
On January 8, 2023, Jeremy announced his own professional Valorant team called Disguised (DSG). This team competes in the North American challengers league. On March 27, 2023, he also announced an all-female Valorant team for DSG. This team competes in the VCT Game Changers, which is the pro circuit for female Valorant players.
