Zak Ahmed, better known online as Skeppy, is an American YouTuber. His content mostly focuses on trolling players, his staff, and his friends a6d and BadBoyHalo in Minecraft. He also hosts challenges for players, giving away large cash prizes to the winners. However, there are exceptions, such as the Q&A series he adds to every few months. He used to live in a house with Spifey and TapL, however, the lease expired.

He creates some videos with his rival/friend Technoblade, which are uploaded on both Skeppy's channel and Technoblade's. For instance, "Skeppy vs Technoblade (The Final Reckoning)" is uploaded on Technoblade's channel but "skeppy tries to troll me but I troll him first" is uploaded on both Technoblade's and Skeppy's channels, although Skeppy's video is titled "I tried a cursed troll but it backfired... (Ft. Technoblade)".

Skeppy's series "Minecraft but..." consists of scenarios where he faces different challenges while playing Minecraft in survival mode. Some examples are "Beating Minecraft But Anvils Fall Every 60 Seconds", "Minecraft but the lava FALLS every minute...", and "Minecraft But I Can Only Eat Diamonds".

Another type of video Skeppy makes is called “Trapping 100 Kids in a...” where he puts a large number of players inside a box and creates challenges for them to complete. He usually collaborates with other Minecraft YouTubers when doing these types of videos. When a player wins, they usually get to shout out anything they want. There have been some instances where there have been no winners when the last two people die at the same time. He started doing this concept around mid-November 2019 and plans on stopping the series in 2020 but ended up uploading a video called "Box in A Box in a Box in a Box in a Box" January 1, 2020. Zak still does a lot of these "Trapping 100 Kids in a..." videos although it has switched to different content. Zak has now made a video on SkeppysLab called So I trapped 100 Kids with FACECAM...

Not too long ago, Skeppy created a new Minecraft server, pvplands.net where he regularly does event for real prize money, via PayPal. Many players do this event and has earnt him many Youtube viewers from throughout the Minecraft community and this made him a notorious Youtuber that is well know by most Minecraft players.

Minecraft Championship

In 2020, Skeppy participated in Noxcrew's and Dangthatsalongname's MC Championship event, an event where YouTubers and streamers would come together to play a wide variety of fancy minigames. The tournament consists of 10 teams and 40 players, featuring a variety of custom minigames. The prize is a special MCC coin by Noxcrew.

Skeppy debuted in MCC2. He was one of the many new players to be introduced to the tournament, but he did not participate due to personal issues. Skeppy was reinvited back and has displayed interest in playing.

• MC Championship 1: Did not participate.
• MC Championship 2: Team Pink Parrots. (Did not participate)
  • Teamed with RTGame, ToxxxicSupport, and BadBoyHalo.
• MC Championship 3-11: Did not participate
• MC Championship 12: TBA

Youtube Channels

Zak has multiple channels, which each have different, but similar, content added to them. His side channel, Skep, usually has other videos that are related to Minecraft. Zak also has live stream highlights which have been edited down to 15-30 minute videos by his editor, Skoppy (or @Kritteers on Twitter). Occasionally, it also gets bonus clips from his main channel videos. Fans have seen higher quality thumbnails which predict them to think that Zak has hired somebody else to create his thumbnails.

His third channel Zak, a vlogging channel, has had all previous videos deleted, however on October 21, 2019, he uploaded the only non-deleted video on the Zak channel. From Zak 2 channels named Skeppy Extra & SkeppyPlays. He recently added SkeppysLab where he uploads videos with facecam. He has a channel called Skifey where both Zak and George, (Spifey), do videos together on a single channel, which only recently has started. His final solo channel is SkeppyPlays (formerly Baby Skeppy), in which he pretends to be a baby in Minecraft, however only 2 videos are up of this series, the second of which includes his friend BadBoyHalo, and it is believed that it won't return. He recently began posting videos of a skyblock world along with BadBoyHalo, that as of right now has 5 episodes posted, including trolling BadBoyHalo.

Zak had a joint channel with his friends, BadBoyHalo & a6d called The Trio (previously Muffin Squad, and InvadedLands) where they upload podcasts and play various games like Skribbl.io or Minecraft. He has made accounts in the past for personal use, one of which was created somewhere in 2012. He has had satirical drama with JackSucksAtLife and most frequently messes around with his friend, BadBoyHalo.

As of 2020, he has quit The Trio. He announced that "he doesn't want toxicity to be related to him", but he hasn't given public reasoning what toxicity he was talking about. But it has been rumored he quit because the stan community was getting “crazy, toxic and weird.”

Minecraft Servers

InvadedLands

Skeppy owns a Minecraft server known as InvadedLands (InvadedLands.net). It consists of five different sub-servers, Survival, Soup (Which most people can't access), Skyblock, UHC, and KitPvP. However, KitPVP is the most used in his videos and most popular on the server. InvadedLands currently has two Managers, MegaPVP , and Zelkam. Zelkam does similar content like Skeppy , on his own channel. He hosts many events on his server. His server is where he does most of his trolling, mostly being on hackers, who he usually bans after messing with them. He also trolls new players, usually on KitPVP, but usually compensates for this by gifting them a free rank. He also trolls a lot in his own minigame known as "Zelkam Says", where the players, like Simon Says have to do as he says, or they die, loves trolling BadBoyHalo and sometimes with a6d.

PVP Lands

Skeppy also owns a Minecraft server known as PVPLands (PVPLands.net). It consists of 7 subservers: KitPvP and 6 event servers, where players can queue to play daily events hosted by Skeppy, BadBoyHalo, and other guests. When participating in an event, players have the opportunity to win money from $500 to $2000. There are 2 additional servers coming soon, Skyblock, and Survival, as well as 3 additional event servers, however, there is no date for when these servers will be released.

Personal Life

Zak was born in Columbus, Ohio, but currently resides in Bluffview, a neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. He has said in a Q/A that he travelled a lot as a kid, but didn't appreciate it at the time. He once briefly said in a stream he visited Las Vegas, New York, & Seattle. He lived in Toronto for a few years. He used to live in Los Angeles, moving alone, since his friends' visas got terminated right before the move to LA. On his third channel, Zak, he explains about his move to LA in more detail.[1]. However, on November 28, 2019, Zak tweeted out an indicator that he might be moving in with some people he first tweets about how he acquired 2 roommates. Then, he goes on to say he "can't believe" to be moving in with a "beaver and an apple." This is indirectly stating that he will be moving in with his friends, TapL and Spifey.[2] In his chill stream on Twitch in January of 2020, he had announced TapL would move out at the end of February, and that Spifey would also move out later, and that Zak is going to move somewhere else in 6 months, either temporarily or permanently. After his lease on the house in Los Angeles expired, however, Zak has mentioned a potential move to Canada or Texas on livestreams. He confirmed in a video published on May 18th that he was currently in Texas.
