Jeremy Wang (born 25 November 1991), also known as Disguised Toast, is a Canadian streamer, YouTuber and Internet personality and gamer best known for his Hearthstone YouTube videos, and later his live streaming channel on Twitch. He is a member of OfflineTV, an online social entertainment group of content creators.
Biography
In 2015, Wang began making infographics and YouTube videos in which he showcased unusual card interactions in Hearthstone, shared on the community aggregation site Reddit.[2] Wang covered his face with a toast-shaped cardboard mask until he revealed his face by mistake in October 2016.[3]
In March 2017, Wang competed in the ONOG Major Circuit at PAX East.[4] Despite making it into the top 32, he overslept the following morning and was disqualified.[5]
In May 2019, Wang was nominated as Twitch Streamer of the Year in the 11th annual Shorty Awards.[6]
Since October 2017, Wang has been a part of OfflineTV, a collaborative group of content creators, with whom he lives in California.[7]
Wang became known for his Hearthstone streams. In the summer of 2019, he gained a huge following while streaming Riot Games' new game Teamfight Tactics, and another spike during the test phase of Riot's upcoming card game, Legends of Runeterra. During that time, he was the second most-watched streamer on Twitch. By that time he had 1.3 million followers on Twitch and 950k subscribers on his main YouTube channel. In November 2019, Wang signed an exclusive deal with Facebook to move from Twitch to Facebook Gaming for his gaming streams.[8]
In April 2020, Wang returned to Twitch to host a new non-gaming series called “Blind eDating”. The series focuses on dating a new girl each week and playing games with them.[9]
Name
Wang's username is a reference to a Hearthstone card, SI:7 Agent. When played in-game, the voice line for the card reads "This guy's toast".[10] Comedian Conan O'Brien called it "the greatest name in gaming history".[11]
Controversies
In June 2017, he was temporarily banned from Hearthstone for 72 hours, in response to an instance in which he showcased an exploit on stream.[12][13][14]
In late 2019, he turned down an offer from Blizzard in which he was asked to reveal a new card from the Saviors of Uldum expansion, citing his personal feelings on Hearthstone as well as negative community reaction.[15]
