About

chocoTaco streamed PUBG and explained his decisions during matches.[1] His Twitch channel also covers Rust and DayZ.[2]

Before streaming, he earned a degree in trumpet performance and worked for a company that taught children engineering with Lego. Several years of teaching led to a management role in Illinois. He tried streaming PUBG in 2017 and gave himself a month to see how it went.[3] By November, he had handed in his notice and announced that he would stream full time at the end of the year.[1]

PUBG and a broader schedule

In his November 2017 interview with Kotaku, he said he had held PUBG's number one kill rating for three seasons.[1] He joined TSM's PUBG roster in March 2018.[4]

By January 2024, he was streaming to YouTube as well as Twitch and trying DayZ as an alternative to PUBG.[3] PUBG named him as a captain and special guest for a planned July 2025 Twitch Rivals event, where he would help design the rounds.[5]
