Nicholas “Nickmercs” Kolcheff smashes the classic stereotype of a video game addict. Rather than laze on his mom’s couch, covered in Cheetos dust, the 30-year-old is winning at life with a successful gaming career and happy marriage. But for all of the time he spends online, we can’t help but wonder how the live streamer got with his better half (or how he even found time to get hitched). Here’s everything we know about Nickmercs’ wife and her marriage to the eSports star. Nickmercs Is A Popular ESports Gamer Nickmercs, 30, is one of the most popular eSports gamers today.

According to Forbes, he was the 10th highest-earning gamer in 2020. Nickmercs pulled in approximately $6 million that year and was the 10th most-watched streamer in 2019. But financial success was the last thing he expected from his personal obsession. “The failures in life just kind of push you to where we are today,” he said in a June 2020 interview with Pardon My Take. “I tried a lot of…

If you are streaming on Twitch, you always want to look your best. While most of the elements on your stream are under your control, such as what your overlays show and how you look, the settings that your stream software uses will determine how smooth your broadcast is. The quality aspect of your feed can make a difference to new visitors seeing your stream for the first time. If it looks good, viewers are more likely to come back. However, knowing what settings are ideal for your stream set up can be daunting, especially to those who are new to streaming, or without a level of technical know-how. It doesn’t need to be, and so here are all the settings that you need to worry about in OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS.  Output In the settings of your software, head into the Output settings and then onto the Streaming tab. Encoder If you are using a computer that contains a recent Nvidia graphics card, you may have access to the NVENC encoder, Nvidia’s protocol which can help to offload much of the work that OBS does to your graphics card rather than your processor.  When the option is available,…

The mouse didn't look like any device you could pick from the shop around the corner, but summit was oblivious of the mouse's true worth.  While talking about his new mouse, the streamer revealed a limited edition Finalmouse piece designed specifically for him. However, he wasn't sure whether the diamonds were authentic or not until the company advised him to get them polished once in a while. When…

Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren made history last week when he broke the all-time record on the platform for subscribers had at a single time. Ludwig's achievement was one that came off the back of a 31-day "subathon" in which he continued to encourage his viewers to subscribe to his channel. Now, mere days after the event wrapped up, Twitch's most-viewed streamer has said that he's going to look to break the record next.In a recent stream, Felix "xQc" Lengyel has said that he's planning his own subathon to break the new record that is held by Ludwig. Even though the mark that Ludwig set only a week ago was quite high, xQc believes that he could break that number with relative ease. Considering how many viewers xQc has, it's also hard to doubt that he could accomplish this feat if he really wanted to.xQc went on to say, however, that he's not planning to hold this subathon any time soon. The streamer wants to wait for a little more than a month for the Amazon Prime subscriptions, which many users get for free each month, to become available once again. Essentially, xQc believes that many people with free subscriptions each…

That came after the Amazon-owned company updated and expanded its Hateful Conduct and Harassment policies, which went into effect in January. Among the changes, Twitch promised more aggressive policing of sexual harassment and abuse targeting people of color.Pokimane applauds the new Twitch policies and believes they reflect the changing demographics of the gaming community the last few years.“I do think all the moves they’ve taken are the right ones,” she says of Twitch, where she has 7.7 million followers. “I’m very…

Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren shattered Tyler "Ninja" Blevins' record for the most subscribers at a single point in time earlier this week on the back of a 31-day subathon. The moment was one that was monumental, not only for Twitch as a whole, but also the growing content creator. Now, after breaking this record, Ludwig is going to be sharing some of the wealth with his moderation team.Prior to the start of his 31-day streaming marathon, Ludwig told his moderation team that he would pay them as a group $5,000 per day if they kept his chat clean throughout the event. The mod group ended up keeping up their end of the bargain and Ludwig ended up holding true to his word. However, rather than doling out $155,000 to the team, which is what $5,000 per day would end up equaling, one of Ludwig's mods, known as "slime", said that the streamer instead cut them all a check for $167,000. mod payroll for the subathon comes out to $167,000 lmao — slime (@slime_machine) April 14, 2021 If you're wondering how that breaks down on a per person basis, each member of the moderation team should have taken home roughly $9,823.…

100 Thieves player and popular Twitch streamer Moe 'Yassuo' Abdalrhman smashes his Corsair keyboard during a high-stakes Mortal Kombat 11 tournament. During the recent Mortal Kombat 11 AT&T Annihilator Cup tournament with $100,000 on the line, popular 100 Thieves streamer Moe "Yassuo" Abdalrhman smashed his Corsair keyboard so badly that it sent keys flying. Yassuo was broadcasting to his Twitch community during the recent Mortal Kombat 11 best of three series against Cloud9 streamer Emiru when a finishing blow caused him to lose his temper and smash his keyboard. Emiru was playing as Cetrion when she landed the killing blow on Yassuo’s Scorpion during their first match. Upon losing the first round of his best of three with Emiru, Yassuo smashed his keyboard. Each round in a best of three series Mortal Kombat 11 tournament flows from one round to another rather swiftly, which caused Yassuo to scramble to grab the missing keys before the second round started. Yassuo spent most of the rest of his series of fights with Emiru trying to piece together the Corsair keyboard, relying on advice from chat to get the placement of the keys right while imploring them not to laugh at him. The streamer used this lapse in…
