Brandon Ewing (19 April 1991), known online as Atrioc, is an American Twitch live streamer, YouTuber and speedrunner. He is known for his news series Marketing Monday, using his prior experience to give presentations within the marketing field to his audience. Ewing is also a former world record holder in speedrunning the video game series Hitman. He began streaming consistently at the beginning of 2020, and has over 660,000 YouTube subscribers and 346,000 Twitch followers as of October 2024.[2]
Career
Before streaming
During college, Ewing was an avid League of Legends player, eventually reaching rank 13 in North America during the game's second season in 2012.[3] While studying at Arizona State University, he founded the university's Esports Club, which he himself attended.[4][non-primary source needed] After graduating with a degree in marketing, Ewing started his career at Twitch in February 2014 as a marketing and content manager,[5][non-primary source needed] before moving on to work under marketing at Nvidia in December 2017.[5][6]
Streaming career
Ewing is active in the Hitman speedrunning scene.[7] During September 2021, Ewing's Twitch account was banned following a Wikipedia race stream, during which the players attempted to navigate from the articles of "Donald Trump" to "Erectile disfunction". During the game, one of the articles featured a photograph of a penis, which is against Twitch's terms of service surrounding nudity.[8][9] In 2021, during fellow streamer Valkyrae's controversy surrounding the endorsement of RFLCT, while streaming Ewing unintentionally leaked conversations between Valkyrae and Ludwig about her considerations of leaving RFLCT, but being contractually bound.[10][11] In 2021, Ewing became the 975th highest-ranked Age of Empires IV player.[12] On the launch day of Elden Ring in early 2022, Ewing gained attention after spending seven hours attempting to beat the first optional boss.[13] In September 2022, Ewing founded the content creation agency Offbrand with Ludwig Ahgren, Nathan Stanz, and Nick Allen.[14]
