According to DisguisedToast, continuing his philanthropic efforts is a priority going forward and in his viewFacebook Gamingopens further opportunities. “My move to Facebook Gaming will give me a larger platform to share my voice with a global audience and hear their perspectives on the gaming landscape,” Toast said in a prepared statement. He plans to capitalize on Facebook’s multi-billion user reach to help “support children and families in need.”
As a sign of DisguisedToast’s dedication to charitable efforts, he has promised 100% of his net proceeds from Facebook stars to St. Jude Children’s Hospital for his first month on the platform. Facebook stars being akin toTwitch Bits, a platform-exclusive currency that allows viewers to contribute directly to a streamer without using a third-party service. Toast also promises to continue “give back and lose bet to chat,” referencing his near-daily giveaways of subscriptions on Twitch.
DisguisedToast is a variety streamer with a focus on card games. He grew to popularity while playingHearthstone, after winning a small tournament while wearing a cardboard toast-shaped mask with sunglasses. He celebrated the joke of the mask and remained anonymous in his streams and videos, before eventually taking the mask off and only growing all the more popular.
Since growing in popularity playing Hearthstone, DisguisedToast has since played lots ofLeague of Legends,Teamfight Tactics, and most recentlyLegends of Runeterra. But clearly, DisguisedToast is just getting started, regardless of whether he’s streaming onTwitchor Facebook. DisguisedToast’s new partnership was brokered by his representatives at United Talent Agency.
