Name Origins

During his Quake days, he went by Mugha1 in homage to Final Fantasy IV. However, when he decided to start up the podcast, he felt that his name was immature, and he needed to change it. So, he switched it to itmeJP with little thought and has continued using it ever since.

Gaming Origins

One of the first MMOs that itmeJP played was Dark Age of Camelot. After that, he went on to World of Warcraft, where he played every class to its maximum level. After high school, he went on to obtain a college degree in Journalism.

Professional Gaming

itmeJP first started uploading a World of Warcraft PVP podcast called Arena Cast in 2009 during his college days. They then started livestreaming on a site called Youstream.com. From there, they later moved on to livestreaming their State of the Game on a site called Livestream.com during the StarCraft II beta in April 2010. They then began uploading their recorded podcasts to his YouTube channel in March 2011. They gradually uploaded their older recordings to the channel later on, which is why they appear out of order.

In 2013, he started streaming on justin.tv after they contacted him and invited them to join their platform. This was while the organization was rebranding to Twitch. Later that year, he decided to remove himself a bit from the esports scene to focus more on content creation, as he was feeling a bit burnt out after two years.

His language isn’t clean.

Income

TwitchStats estimates itmeJP’s Twitch subscriber count to be at around 11,400. As he typically attracts over 2,000 viewers to his broadcasts, this should generate him a monthly income of at least $39,900 USD. This is before he collects the revenue from other sources such as his tiered subscriptions, tips, Twitch cheer bit contributions, advertising, and sponsorships.

Quotes

I think the people who excel the most are people who have routines, when it comes to streaming. That is, they’re live every single day, and they know, even if a stream is the biggest stream in the world, they know to not push themselves, or they’re gonna pay for that a couple of days down the line, if they’re an everyday streamer. And I’ve learnt that the hard way where I’ve completely stressed myself out from trying to do too much at one time… But the feeling of burning out, is a real, real thing on Twitch.
