SwaggerSouls’ Birthplace and Early Life

SwaggerSouls was born in the US on February 24, 1988.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much about his family and educational background.

In addition, SwaggerSouls hasn’t discussed his childhood online, so there’s also little to tell about it.

How Did SwaggerSouls Start Gaming?

SwaggerSouls’ interest in gaming dates back to the early days of RuneScape, an MMORPG that was pretty common in 2006. His interest would later shift to another MMORPG, MapleStory, between 2007 and 2012 before taking a sabbatical until early 2015.

On May 19, 2015, SwaggerSouls, who before then was Eric, created his Youtube account. A year later, he uploaded his first of many videos titled “Casual Shoutcasting! | CSGO”. I was impressed by how perfectly he flaunts his incredible CS: GO skills in this short video, swiftly slitting throats, taking the most precise headshots, and dodging tons of destructive armor hauled at him.

Interestingly, throughout the video commentary, SwaggerSouls never utters a single swear or curse word, which I’ve witnessed in many other streamers’ clips. All the same, it firmly thrust him into the limelight, setting him up for his now stellar gaming career.

This video would later be followed by hundreds more, all of which were gameplay videos with SwaggerSouls commenting but never revealing his face. But more importantly, I think that it is this single video that opened the doors to his cocolorfulaming journey. As his fanbase soared, his skills improved, and people demanded more, SwaggerSouls went all in publishing more and more.

On the way to stardom, SwaggerSouls struck hundreds of partnerships with total strangers, floored bigwigs, and never dared disclose his real identity, further fanning his fame.

Having made a name for himself, and itching to hit a million subscriptions, SwaggerSouls, who until then was defined by a Medieval helmet-wearing avatar, promised to reveal his face once he hit the million subscription mark.

Face Reveal

True to his word, on July 7, 2018, SwaggerSouls uploaded a video titled “The Face Reveal.” At the start of the excellently edited video, numerous gamers, including Moistcr1tikal, Charlie, and Pewdiepie, opine that SwaggerSouls has an issue, which is why he is unwilling to reveal his face.

Halfway through the video, a well-built figure donning Swaggersouls’ Helmet removes the mask before a series of faces rapidly appear. Towards the tail end of the video, celebrity Youtuber Pewdiepie makes an appearance claiming that he is, in fact, SwaggerSouls.

An even more controversial comment follows with SwaggerSouls claiming that one of the faces shown is his and that some things, for the sake of his security, should remain unknown.

And like many anxiously waiting fans, I felt betrayed by him. Regardless, the fascination surrounding his mystery even further soared.

In the meantime, I suppose as fans, we will make do with the Helmet donning avatar or a photo of him in Chainmail hood from Assassin’s Creed.

Misfits Group

Alongside five other YouTube gamers, SwaggerSouls formed Misfits, a collaborative YouTube group whose members are based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It has three channels – Misfits Podcast Clips, Misfits, and Misfits Podcast.

It is based on the comments SwaggerSouls makes on these podcast sets that I often question his morals. This is because in most of the podcasts I listened to, he alleges to indulge in drug abuse, watch adult films a, nd dream of making homemade explosives.

SMP

SwaggerSouls is a member of the invite-only Minecraft Server, SMP, founded by GeorgeNotFund and Dream.

Out of all the members inonhe server, I rank him as one of the most technologically advanced players, having created the industrial district complete with hundreds of automated machines within his first 13 hours of streaming.

Currently, alongside Schlatt, SwaggerSouls is focusing his energies on creating a city of dreams dubbed Industrial Dreams. His other accomplishments within the server include successfully creating the first train system dubbed Epic Express and bagging the coveted Arms Race trophy after creating the incredible Deforester and Handheld Blockzapper.

Controversy

I wasn’t that shocked to discover that SwaggerSouls has been involved in controversy – online disagreements are popular among celebrities. So, let me loop you in.

On March 21st, 2021, Minecraft legend Jschlatt took a hit when he uploaded a crudely drawn blackface to Jackbox Game “Survive The Internet.” The graphic image attracted the wrath of millions of viewers who considered it racially insensitive and disgusting.

In his defense, he claimed that the faceless creator, SwaggerSouls, drew the image. Besides this, SwaggerSouls has also been vocal about using weed, among other drugs, uploading videos on how to make liquid nitrogen explosions and boastfully claiming that he not only watches porn but intends to shoot one.

THE FACE REVEAL

For years, the mystery behind the man who has wooed millions, hrashed talked in hundreds of uploads, nd garnered millions of adherent fans was coming to a closure. The condition was simple, hit a million subscriptions, and I will take the mask off, said SwaggerSouls.

Hundreds of streamers, including streaming bigwigs, aspiring gamers, and no-namers, tuned in to SwaggerSouls’ channel for the final face reveal. As millions of us held our breath, close friends fanned rumors, and the Minecraft community came to a standstill, a hastily walking and masked SwaggerSouls gave the cacamerais back before rapidly turning.

Was this the much-awaited day? Will fans finally put a face to the man whose exquisite skills have annihilated assassins and floored opponents in seconds? Well, here is your answer.

THIS VIDEO WILL GIVE YOU PTSD

In this ten-plus minutes video SwaggerSouls, alongside his friends, delves into the exciting ventures of the popular shooter gamer Enlisted. In the video, SwaggerSouls, alongside his friends, swiftly and quickly moves through epic and realistic world war II maps as they try to relive the horrors that soldiers faced.

His friend Smii7y, whom SwaggerSouls has been teaching the ropes of gaming, turns out to be an accurate shooter and excellent learner. His other buddy, Grizzy, didn’t live to expectations, leaving SwaggerSouls disappointed and lamenting. Here is how the video that SwaggerSSouls feels should leave you with a PTSD pun.

Swaggersouls’ Game Setup

SwaggerSouls’ Microphone: Shure SM7B

Like Auronplay and Dyrus, SwaggerSouls leverages the sleek Shure SM7B microphone. This masterpiece streaming equipment has a pop filter to eliminate breathiness allowing all of SwaggerSouls’ commentaries to be broadcasted.

Further, it also features a shock isolation apparatus that eliminates mechanical noises, including those emanating from SwaggerSouls’ exquisite setup. Complimenting this buffering is an electromagnetic shield that defeats any electronic hums so that his mic can accurately and naturally reproduce his speech.

Crowning this impressively high-quality sound production feature is a noise cancellation feature that works from the background to defeat any unnecessary noise. And to ensure that all sounds from visiting friends are not captured, SwaggerSouls can count on the cardioid polar pattern to reject any off-axis sounds.

SwaggerSouls’ Processor: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper delivers a colossally high amount of processing power that no game currently available can fully utilize. It boasts an astonishing 32 cores and 64 processing threads, all of which can clock a 4.5GHz max boost.

Thanks to this power, I can affirm that SwaggerSouls enjoys the most immersive gaming experience within Minecraft servers. To efficiently provide adequate memory, the processor has 88 PCle 4 and quad-channel DDR4 lanes allowing the processor to automatically overclock within seconds after booting.

SwaggerSouls’ Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 1080 Ti

Unlike his monstrous processor, SwaggerSouls fancies Nvidia GeForce’s pioneer graphic card. Like all its predecessors, the GPU features ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting that illuminates SwaggerSouls’ mainboard with near-limitless lighting options.

Further, the GPU boasts a 1632MHz boost clock powered by 11GB of GDDR5X memory, allowing SwaggerSouls to pump tens of pixel-clear videos and images. Efficiently absorbing and dissipating the massive heat generated are Fanconnect ll fans and three axial fans to guarantee consistent optimal performance.

SwaggerSouls’ Family

Outside his professional life, S waggerSouls has remained tightlipped about his family. I presume he’s done this intentionally to keep himself and his loved ones safe, like a ton of other streamers. Nevertheless, if he decides to share details about his love life, count on me to enlighten you.

SwaggerSouls’ Net Worth and Career Earnings

Presently, SwaggerSouls net worth is approximately $1.5M, an estimate based on the following revenue streams:

Twitch

I’m pretty sure that SwaggerSouls makes a handsome amount on Twitch, where he streams a broad range of games, including Minecraft, Just Chatting, Escape from Tarkov, Rust, Grand Theft Auto V, Apex Legends, and Subnautica.

SwaggerSouls’ Twitch channel has accumulated 10,112,903 and 344 paid active subs. The latter alone could be earning him up to $1,000 monthly. If I throw in his bit donations and ad revenue, this platform could be generating way more cash.

YouTube

SwaggerSouls has been a member of the YouTube community since 2015. His uploads have garnered 477,652,432 views, and I presume he’s monetized most of them. Consequently, he could be receiving between $300K and $500K annually in YouTube payouts.

Podcasting

As one of the Misfits’ hosts, SwaggerSouls rakes in a decent amount yearly, given that this podcast has millions of loyal listeners worldwide.

Typically, podcasters make money through sponsorships, membership fees, ads, and listener donations. I bet SwaggerSouls and his team are leveraging some of these strategies to earn off their podcast. However, their specific earnings remain their secret.

Merch

Tons of streamers and other internet personalities avail merch for their fans – it’s a reliable income-generating endeavor. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised to discover that SwaggerSouls owns a merch store selling items such as hoodies, tees, accessories, and kitchenware at affordable prices. I took my time to check out some of them and based on their features, they could be worth every dime!

Sponsorship Deals

Judging from his massive popularity online, I reckon SwaggerSouls has bagged various sponsorship deals. However, he’s been tightlipped about the trustworthy brands he’s worked with, making it hard to estimate the amount he could have earned through this source of revenue.

SwaggerSouls’ Retirement and Post Professional

As of this writing, I’m uninformed about SwaggerSouls’ master plan. So, I’m short on details about his retirement and post-professional plans. However, based on his activity on Twitch, YouTube, and other social media outlets, I suppose he intends to continue playing video games and streaming for a little longer.
