About

Zack Hoyt, the American creator known as Asmongold, built a World of Warcraft audience with guides and streams that mixed high-level play with stories and jokes.[1][2] He has described staging moments such as finding a legendary item he supposedly forgot in his character's bank.[1] He later expanded into gaming reactions and political commentary.[2]

MMOs and creator businesses

WoW Classic expanded his audience in 2019.[2] In October 2020, he co-founded One True King with creators including Mizkif and Esfand.[3] His first Final Fantasy XIV stream in July 2021 drew more than 200,000 viewers.[4] OTK launched PC company Starforge Systems with MoistCr1TiKaL in August 2022.[5] Following pricing criticism, Starforge announced price cuts and then an upgrade to its entry-level Horizon model at its original $999 price.[6]

Twitch suspension and lawsuit

In October 2024, Twitch suspended his zackrawrr channel, where he streams most often, after he said Palestinians come from an "inferior culture".[7] He apologized and announced that he would step back from leadership at OTK and Starforge.[8]

In November 2025, Mizkif sued Hoyt for defamation over his commentary on Emiru's allegations against Mizkif.[9][10] Hoyt sought dismissal in February 2026 and argued that he had repeated Mizkif's own public statements.[11] A magistrate judge recommended dismissing the claim against Hoyt without prejudice in June 2026; that recommendation was not a final ruling.[12]
