One True King

One True King was formed on October 11, 2020 by content creators Asmongold, Mizkif, Esfand, Rich Campbell, and Tips Out.[4] In their first video, founding member Asmongold stated "We came up with this idea of making an org, and building the org around our friends – building the org around friendship in general."[5] The organization has been described by its members as being more of a media production company and lifestyle brand as opposed to being confined to any one game or section on Twitch.[6][7] The organization has also gained notability for not receiving major backing from corporations as opposed to traditional esports teams.[8] One True King has been met with mostly positive reactions from fans and fellow content creators alike.[9]

Alongside the initial announcement of the group, the organization unveiled their professional World of Warcraft roster. The original roster consists of Trill, Mes, Cdew, and Samiyam.[10][11] The team currently competes at Blizzard-sanctioned events.[12] On October 27, 2020, the organization announced the addition of streamer Nick Polom, also known by his online alias "Nmplol," to their content creator lineup.[13] On November 23, 2020, the organization hosted a charity stream for Games for Love. Over $250,000 was raised through opening rare Pokémon cards.[14][15] The stream averaged 70,000 viewers.[16]

In January 2021, the organization's World of Warcraft team participated in the first edition of the Shadowlands Arena World Championship. They finished 3rd among North American teams.[17] In the second edition of the event, One True King made it to the finals of the North American bracket, losing to Kawhi 1-4.[18]
