Asmongold, also known as ZackRawrr, is a well-known content creator who streams on Twitch and creates videos for YouTube. He operates two Twitch accounts: his primary account, Asmongold, has nearly 2.96 million followers, while his secondary account, ZackRawrr, was recently banned due to racist remarks about Palestinians. Overall, he boasts a total following of 4.85 million and an impressive 4.82 billion views on Twitch.

The online content creator kicked off his journey on YouTube, where he uploaded tutorial videos offering his tips and tactics for World of Warcraft. His popularity soared in 2019 with the launch of WoW Classic, which attracted thousands of viewers to his streams. He also received the title of Best MMORPG Streamer at The Streamer Awards in both 2022 and 2023.
At the moment, Zackrawrr's Twitch account has been suspended for a period of time after he made offensive remarks about Palestinians, calling them "terrible people" and stating they come from an "inferior culture." He has since expressed regret for his remarks on X, admitting, "Reflecting on it, I was really out of line with my comments about Palestine. I’m sorry."
