When one of his friends joked “I wouldn’t call them lovely…” Myth shot back. “Stop it! They are all lovely people. I’m actually getting really emotional!” he paused, before exhaling as he took the moment in.

After having time to sort his thoughts on it, the Twitch star finally addressed his audience. “The past year and a half has been the most wild experience of my life, and obviously I let down a lot of people in the Fortnite community not being able to play competitively.”

Myth than began to choke up with tears. “But um, you know, not meeting the expectations people wanted me to do…” he said, covering his eyes as he cried. 

“For the longest time I was really really sad about going live, because it just didn’t feel good. And I’ve been working really hard to flip things around. So it really means a lot that so many people are here right now.”

The Fortnite pro was referencing his stream’s viewership numbers that had peaked in mid 2018 with 37k views, but has fluctuated up and down throughout 2019 despite gaining close to three million followers by 2019, according to TwitchTracker.
