Twitch streamers Asmongold, Esfand, Mizkif, Rich Campbell, and Tips Out announced yesterday that they are joining forces to form a network of like-minded content creators with an emphasis on friendship. While most game-based entertainment companies nowadays start with anesports rosterand recruit Twitch streamers to fit the narrative, OTK is approaching things from the opposite direction, starting with the content creators themselves.

On a stream Sunday night, Mizkif and crew answered questions about OTK, its goals, and his role in the organization. “These guys, they’re WoW (World of Warcraft) guys, alright? They’re the WoW crew,” he says. “We’re going to branch out. This isn’t a WoW org, and I want people to understand that.” He went on to describe how this development is the result of over six months of planning and hard work. “A lot of you guys probably think we just made this today and we randomly said this. No. It’s been going on for months.”
OTK has already acquired aWorld of Warcraftesports team for its roster consisting of Samiyam, Mes, Trill, and Cdew, who will be fighting under the OTK banner. While the OTK members are not committing at this point, there is likely to be at least some content coming out in the next few months centered around theWorld of WarcraftShadowlandsevent.
Plans for upcoming programs include a comedy clip show on Mizkif’s stream, and he alluded to a house which may be purchased specifically for the organization’s use. The first official stream for OTK was a WoW-themed cooking stream on EsfandTV’s Twitch channel, in which he prepared three dishes from the World of Warcraft cookbook: brewfest pretzels, crispy bat wings (with chicken as a substitute for bat wing), and Dirge’s Kickin' Chimaerok Chops.
