DisguisedToast joins Facebook Gaming as Twitch exodus continues Popular streaming personality Jeremy \u2018DisguisedToast\u2019 Wang has announced he\u2019s joined the ever-growing Twitch exodus, and will be streaming exclusively on rival broadcasting platform Facebook Gaming from this weekend. Following huge personalities like Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins, Michael \u2018shroud\u2018 Grzesiek, and more recently FaZe Clan\u2019s first-ever female member Ewok, jumping ship from Twitch, many have had their eyes peeled for who might follow them out the door. All eyes turned to leading Teamfight Tactics streamer DisguisedToast late this week, after he shared a mysterious message that hinted at a move to either Twitch, Facebook, or even YouTube like 100 Thieves star Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop. Disguised Toast joins Facebook Now, the streaming star has officially announced he will be one of the first major Twitch streamers to make the platform jump to Facebook Gaming. Facebook\u2019s newest star Toast explained that, because the social media giant has a global reach of more than 2.4 billion active users, 700 million of whom tune in to gaming content, he felt he could expand his streaming reach to new horizons. \u201cOne of my favorite things about streaming is that I get to engage with viewers from across the world,\u201d the new face of Facebook Gaming said. \u201cThroughout my career, I\u2019ve made it a priority to learn about different cultures and experiences. My move to Facebook will give me a larger platform to share my voice with a global audience and hear their perspectives on the gaming landscape.\u201d The streamer, who made headlines in recent months for asking fans to donate and subscribe to smaller streamers instead of himself, also added that Facebook\u2019s approach to \u201chelping others in need\u201d was a big part of his final decision. \u201cFacebook and I share a deep understanding about the importance of giving back,\u201d he said. \u201cI have always admired Facebook\u2019s proactive approach to philanthropy, and I am excited about working together to support children and families in need.\u201d Disguised Toast also revealed that, as part of his move to Facebook Gaming, he would be donating 100% of his net proceeds earned through new platform feature Facebook Stars to St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital during his first month. Facebook Stars is a feature that allows content creators to monetize their streams through one-time donations from viewers for charity. This will be on top of DT\u2019s recent $20,000 donation to the Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles. Who is Disguised Toast? Jeremy Wang, better known online by moniker \u2018Disguised Toast,\u2019 first rose to fame as a Hearthstone content creator, building decks, creating infographics, and showing off strange interactions between cards on YouTube and Reddit. In the beginning, Wang kept his face covered with his now-famous toast-shaped cardboard mask, and chose the name based off classic Rogue card \u2018SI:7 Agent,\u2019 which announces \u201cthis guy\u2019s toast\u201d upon entering the battlefield. \u201cI first started out with the lore videos because they were niche,\u201d he said. \u201cAnyone can show cinematics, there\u2019s nothing about me. As time went on and I started to get more viewers, I created the Toast persona to get myself into the video.\u201d After an on-stream slip-up revealed Wang\u2019s true identity, the streamer admitted the look behind the charade may have ruined his career \u2014 the 27-year-old assumed that without the cool identity, no one would want to see his content anymore. The man behind the toast Disguised Toast had feared that, without his stand-out slice of toast plastered to his face, he would see dipping numbers, and potentially lose the momentum that he\u2019d gained over the past year of building a following. Instead, the opposite happened. The Hearthstone community\u2019s support for the strategist and fledgling pro player flourished, and his popularity on YouTube, and on his rising Twitch channel, exploded as he continued to create content. Wang even dabbled in the Hearthstone professional scene, making it to the top 32 at ONOG Major Circuit at PAX East, but accidentally self-sabotaged his chances when he overslept and missed a series of matchups. He was disqualified. Though pro play hadn\u2019t gone as well as he had hoped, Disguised Toast soon found himself joining stream-team Offline TV alongside major names like Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys, Federico \u2018Fedmyster\u2019 Gaytan, and William \u2018Scarra\u2019 Li in 2017. Although the Hearthstone star eventually began moving away from Blizzard\u2019s collectible card game, his popularity never wavered as he made the switch to Riot Games titles like League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra. In October 2019, Disguised Toast led the way into Riot\u2019s newly announced Runeterra CCG, topping the game\u2019s Twitch channel with nearly 20,000 concurrent viewers, and solidified his place among the top streamers on the platform. The new Facebook Gaming star has confirmed his first stream will be shortly after his official announcement, and said he plans to go live on Friday, November 22, from 12pm PT. He will be mainly streaming Teamfight Tactics during his first broadcast. With Facebook well and truly announcing themselves in the ongoing streaming wars, it looks like there could be plenty more announcements on the horizon, both from personalities staying on Twitch, or swapping Facebook, YouTube, or Mixer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
