## Bio

Byron Bernstein cut his teeth in Asheron's Call before dominating World of Warcraft's arena from 2008 to 2010, an unbroken streak that made him a legend in esports circles. He moved to Twitch in the early 2010s, streaming everything from speed runs to raw, hours-long talks about depression, relationships, and the game he was building. His openness about bipolar disorder drew millions but also exposed him. On July 2, 2020, at 31, he died by suicide after a public episode on Twitter, a loss that rocked the streaming world and forced a reckoning with how platforms handle mental health in real time.
