The founding members of OTK, Asmongold, Mizkif, EsfandTV, and TipsOut came together to launch the group on 11 October 2020.
On October 11, 2020, Asmongold, Mizkif, EsfandTV, Rich Campbell, and TipsOut came together to launch One True King (OTK), marking the start of a new era in collaborative streaming and content creation. The idea behind OTK’s creation was to build an organization around friends and like-minded people. The goal was to create a media production company and a lifestyle brand rather than an organization focused on any one section.
The initial introductory video did not outline any details about what the organization was about. The streamers later released a follow-up video explaining how the group became an organization. The idea for OTK originated when the group of streamers recognized the potential for greater collaboration and synergy within the streaming community. They realized that by uniting under one banner, they could push the boundaries of content creation. A shared passion for World of Warcraft brought the group together, leading to the creation of a space where creators could collaborate with one another.
After their formation, the organization announced their esports team with the arrival of a WoW roster. The team consisted of four professional WoW players: Cdew, Trill, Samiyam, and Mes. This announcement underscored their commitment to building a presence in the industry. The organization also announced that streamer Nick Polom, popularly known as Nmplol, would be joining as a content creator and co-owner.
As OTK shifted focus toward streaming, the organization chose not to renew its contract with the WoW roster and released them. Afterward, OTK began hosting events and special streams. The group hosts a variety of engaging events, including Schooled, Parasocial, and Game Day. However, the organization has also faced its fair share of controversies.
Ups and Downs of OTK
Since its formation, OTK has added many more content creators to its roster. Jschlatt, Cyr, and Tectone are just a few of the many who joined the organization. However, controversies began to pile up as the organization’s creators frequently faced criticism. Several allegations regarding Mizkif’s friend and roommate “CrazySlick” were made public by Adrianah Lee, another content creator. During a heated exchange on X between Mizkif and TrainwrecksTV, the latter accused Mizkif of covering up sexual assault.
OTK then issued a statement stating that they had hired a third-party investigation firm to investigate the co-founder’s involvement in the allegations. While the investigation was underway, OTK faced another significant issue as co-founder Rich Campbell was accused of sexual assault.
Although Mizkif was later cleared of any allegations, he was required to undergo sensitivity training by the organization. However, there was no update regarding Rich Campbell’s situation.
Tectone, another member of the organization, was accused of mental and sexual harassment by his ex-girlfriend Pinkychu. However, Tectone resigned from OTK due to contract expiration and not because of the allegations.
Recently, Asmongold faced criticism for statements he made regarding the ongoing Palestinian conflict. The community expressed dissatisfaction, leading Asmongold to step back from his administrative duties at OTK.
Despite these controversies, the organization has maintained its popularity and remains one of the most successful in recent times.
