Trainwreckstv discovered the possibility of a career while playing video games on the online platform Twitch in 2015. The site was founded in 2011 as a spin-off from the general streaming network Justin.tv, however, it mostly focused on live streaming video games. It eventually overtook its predecessor, with the former closing down to focus on Twitch’s burgeoning renown. The site has become the primary source of eSports tournament broadcasts, and it has recently included additional sorts of streaming, such as IRL feeds, in which the streamer typically speaks or communicates with viewers.
The website has grown in popularity, becoming the fourth-largest generator of internet traffic in the United States. Amazon paid $970 million buying the business in 2014, and it was later linked into the company’s membership program, Amazon Prime. Twitch also bought Curse, which enables streamers to earn money from the sales of the games they play. Late in 2018, the website announced that it had over 15 million daily users. They also have over 2.2 million broadcasters and a million concurrent users on average.

Trainwreckstv, like other prominent streamers, isn’t focused on a single game, but instead plays a variety based on his interests and offers from gaming businesses. He’s been playing a lot of auto battler games in recent months, which stemmed from a popular “Dota 2” mod called “Dota Auto Chess.” He participates in the “League of Legends” version of the auto battler Teamfight Tactics (TFT), which was released in 2019. Eight players pick from a pool of formidable champions, deploy them on the board, and then compete to be the last player standing.
He’s also done a lot of chatting and live streaming in recent months. He primarily uses Facebook to contact his admirers, as well as to view memes, videos, and websites, and to socialize in general. He also presents a podcast through his streams, which he co-hosts with other well-known streamers. Another game he enjoys is “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” an online multiplayer battle royale game in which 100 people parachute into an island in search of equipment to battle with others while avoiding death. The play area shrinks over time, leaving less space and increasing the likelihood of clashes.
