Streaming career
Smash Bros. Melee
Ewing is active in the Super Smash Bros. Melee scene,[8][9] befriending many well-known players such as Mang0, Hungrybox and Toph.[10][11]
Speedrunning
As a streamer, Ewing became involved in the Hitman speedrunning scene, innovating upon many levels previously thought to be completely explored. He popularized the SA/SO (Silent Assassin Suit Only on Master Difficulty) category and held its first ever world record for the entire Hitman trilogy series.[12] He has since set multiple world records for the trilogy, individual games, and specific levels, and currently has the third fastest run listed on Speedrun.com for the entire trilogy, over 3 hours faster than his original run.[13]
Banned
During September of 2021 Ewing's Twitch account, Atrioc, was banned,[14] the reasoning behind this decision was not disclosed but many believe the decision to be due to a clip, circulating the internet at the time, of Ewing playing through a Wikipedia speedrun in which he displayed many NSFW images, such as “erection”, “human penis”, and “arousal”,[15][16] all of which breach Twitches guidelines.[note 1]
Leaking RFLCT and Valkyrae contract
During the controversy surrounding Valkyrae's endorsement contract with RFLCT Ewing continued to stream. Whilst streaming Ewing unintentionally leaked conversations between Valkyrae and Ludwig about Valkyrae's considerations of leaving RFLCT and her contract.[17] It was seen that Valkyrae felt she 'messed up' due to Ewing's leak of the Discord conversation.[18] This incident was seen as a pivotal point in wrapping up the RFLCT drama.
Age of Empires
Ewing then entered the scene of Age of Empires 4 competing in a number of competitive matches until he finally reached the top 1,000 players.[19]
Elden Ring
On the launch day of Elden Ring, Ewing spent 7 hours attempting to beat the first optional boss.[20]
Innovating audience captivation
In July 2022 the Ewing innovated upon previous streamers usage of livestreaming overlays, to hold audience captivation, by playing a video of jangling keys.[21] This innovative method combined the already used overlays and the attraction of 'jangling' keys in order to keep the audience interested whilst Ewing left the stream unattended to grab some water.
