J4ckiechan

He isn’t a big Jackie Chan fan, but thought that it would be funny to use it as his handle.

J4ckiechan found out about Hearthstone from his brother a few months before its release and started playing it when it came out. He had never played any of Blizzard’s games prior to that, so he wasn’t has hyped about the upcoming game as Blizzard fans would have been.

Nevertheless, he did try it out when it released, and it soon became his favorite game. He spent a great deal of his free time playing it while he was in university, where he was majoring in Mathematics. However, he was only in university for a couple of years, before he dropped out for various reasons.

A few months after he dropped out of university, some members of the Hearthstone community began encouraging him to try streaming, as they were impressed with his ‘Egg Druid’ deck. In fact, many of the people that he played against added him as a friend and requested that he send them his deck list.

He didn’t know what streaming was, so he looked it up. He decided that it looked interesting and set up his own channel and started streaming as a hobby. His channel quickly grew, as he was already known in the community, and things progressed from there. After maintaining a high ranking on the Hearthstone ladder for a while, he felt that he needed more competition and started competing in tournaments.

By the end of 2015, he had achieved Rank 2 Legend and was invited to join Fade2Karma.

J4ckiechan has ~600 subscribers, which should minimally generate him about $1,500 USD per month, excluding additional income from other sources such as tiered subscription fees, Twitch cheer bit donations, merchandise sales, tips, sponsorships, advertisements, coaching and tournament winnings. He has made ~$7,226 USD from his top ten donators alone.
