Amir EyZed

Streamer, YouTuber, podcaster and organizer of The One Awards

I’m Amirsaleh Zare, known as AmirEyZed. Here you’ll find my career, year by year: from Rainbow Six and competitive play to streaming, YouTube, podcasts, The One Awards and the projects I built for the community. The key moments come with photos and links to their sources, and the end of the page sums the whole path up in a few numbers.

From 2017 to today

Start from the beginning

  1. Rainbow Six on PS4

    I started playing competitive Rainbow Six Siege on PS4, first with Diamond Dogs and then with WolveS eSports, which later became Critical Gaming. In January 2017 I also created my Twitch channel.

  2. Leaders: teaching map plans

    On February 8 I created the Leaders Telegram channel, the same channel that is AmirEyZed today. The next day I started free Twitch streams teaching Rainbow Six leading and ESL map plans.

  3. National esports conference

    On May 16, invited by the Computer Games Association and the Ministry of Sport, I joined Persian Pro League managers and esports champions at a conference at the Laleh Hotel, and IRIB News interviewed me.

  4. Team The Myth

    I built The Myth from players who had no team at the time. We worked our way up from the Persian Pro League Diamond League to the Royale League, the top tier, and on May 27 we finished runner-up in ProLeague by ESL IR.

  5. Talent-scouting customs

    In July I ran tryout customs for teamless Rainbow Six players and recommended the best of them straight to team leaders. Anyone who couldn’t pay the entry fee played for free. A week later most of the picked players had joined teams.

  6. Twitch Affiliate

    On August 26 I became a Twitch Affiliate and subscriptions went live on my channel. That summer I also rejoined Critical Gaming under the ThEmZed brand.

    • 2K Twitch followers in August

  7. EyZedTV, a logo and the move to PC

    In October my Twitch name became EyZedTV, I unveiled the EyZed logo and moved from PS4 to PC. My first PC stream was on October 29.

  8. Streamers’ Home

    In February I opened Streamers’ Home, a Telegram channel for new streamers. They ran it as admins, so they could introduce themselves and their streams directly. After my streams I also hosted or raided smaller streamers.

    • 300 members in six weeks
    • 24 streamer-admins by May

  9. Sixth in Iran, then streaming first

    With OverratedTier we topped our group in Persian Pro League Season 6 and finished sixth in Iran. On August 20 I gave up team leadership to focus on streaming.

  10. First YouTube video

    I had created my YouTube channel on August 26, and on November 7 I uploaded the first video. A week later the first stream-highlight video followed.

  11. My first win among streamers

    On November 7, Orca and I took first place in the streamers’ Battle Royale hosted by RwinShow, my first win in a competition between streamers.

  12. My last competitive season

    With NoTeamSquad I played Persian Pro League Season 7 and we finished fifth in Iran. In April I said I was stepping back from competition to take YouTube seriously; it was my last competitive Rainbow Six season.

  13. Hot Seat

    On April 21 the first episode of Hot Seat came out on YouTube, an interview show that had been a segment of my streams since September 2019. After that it ran twice a week.

  14. No to betting ads

    In April, when a popular streamer advertised a betting site, we spent about three hours live with him talking about the harm of gambling. In the end he agreed not to run that ad again and to give the fee to charity. I told my viewers: don’t make idols of us.

    Why it matters: Ads have always had one simple red line for me: nothing I know could hurt my audience is worth the money.

  15. AmirEyZed 🍌

    On June 12 I changed my name from EyZedTV to AmirEyZed, first on Twitch, then on X, Telegram and YouTube. On September 23, after years, the ✅ next to my name made way for a 🍌.

  16. A new Twitch record

    On October 9 I had my best Twitch stream up to that point.

    • 2,096 concurrent viewers
    • 8,581 unique viewers

  17. A video every day

    In November I posted a YouTube video every day. I had joined the YouTube Partner Program in May.

    • 412K views in 28 days

  18. Moz Land

    On January 3 we launched Moz Land, the shared studio and group channel of Ali Zodiac, MMD Bushido and me. Its intro video premiered at midnight on the new YouTube channel.

  19. Hot MoZ

    With Reza Ayeene we made Hot MoZ, the follow-up to Hot Seat: a board-game show with guests. Six episodes came out between May 9 and August 6.

  20. The music challenge

    In September we ran a music challenge for viewers, sponsored by ViPac. Lots of videos came in, and the winner was a new streamer at the time who is known today as Nikmehr.

  21. All-time Twitch record

    On October 10 my Twitch channel hit its all-time concurrent-viewer peak. In November my total YouTube views passed 3 million.

    • 6,728 concurrent viewers

  22. Moz Rap Awards 1400

    On March 26 I released Moz Rap Awards 1400, my picks of the best Persian rap of the Iranian year 1400.

  23. Going silent out of respect

    After Mahsa Amini’s death I stopped my YouTube and streaming; my last live stream was on September 12. I didn’t want to keep making entertainment and be part of normalizing the situation, and I asked others to do the same. Some people cut ties with me over that decision.

  24. My mother’s arrest, then mine

    In November my mother was arrested on her birthday over her activity during those days. I dropped my political activity at once so her case wouldn’t get harder, and every day we waited outside Evin Prison for news. About 20 days later, while Iran’s national team was playing at the World Cup, I was arrested too, in a separate case. My mother was released on bail first, then I was, and in February 2023 our cases were closed under a general amnesty.

    • I didn’t tell this story publicly until February 2026

  25. Back on stream

    On January 29, after five months, I went live on Twitch again. Twitch was now blocked in Iran and my average audience had dropped from about 3,000 to 150. A year later we had brought it back to 700, and it was still growing.

  26. MoZCast

    On March 6 Ali Zodiac and I launched MoZCast on the MoZ Rap Reaction channel: roughly three-hour conversations with rappers about their careers. Episode one featured Ardalan Dalu, with audio on Castbox and Spotify.

  27. Drama that changed habits

    In June I published a roundup of “EyZed’s drama” and put the results of a few issues I had pushed side by side: people’s faces were no longer shown without consent, betting-site ads weren’t repeated, and later videos credited other people’s content.

    Why it matters: Many of these started out being called drama, but they led to more than arguments: real change happened.

  28. A second channel

    In July I started a second YouTube channel for stream highlights, first called EyZed Reacts and later EyZedMoments. The DayByZed vlog series started at the same time.

    • JustChetMoments went from episode 2 in 2023 to episode 415 by September 2026
    • 55K subscribers

  29. Interview with Vigiato

    On August 24 Vigiato, a leading Persian gaming and tech outlet, interviewed me on Gap Time, from Rainbow Six to The MidNight.

    • 111K views

  30. A seven-week donathon

    From September 3 to October 22 we ran a donathon of about seven weeks. I shared the stream shifts with Ali Zodiac and a first-time streamer so they could get seen before starting their own streams.

    • 693 hours on air in 30 days, live on all 30
    • 112K hours watched by day 30

  31. The MidNight, season two

  32. Live on Twitch and YouTube at once

    On February 24 I streamed on Twitch and YouTube at the same time for the first time, and from then on every stream went to both. In April my main YouTube channel reached 20,000 subscribers.

    • June peak: 3,014 concurrent viewers across both platforms

  33. MazzeTime and WeekWatch

    At the end of March I launched two weekly formats: MazzeTime, a group talk show with Pixie, AmirPhantom, Sam Saberi, Ali Zelzele, Samira Saly and Siabach; and WeekWatch, a weekly review of new Persian YouTube videos whose notes several creators applied in their next video.

  34. EyZed Gaming

    On August 20 I started the EyZed Gaming channel. My Black Myth: Wukong launch stream peaked at 6,097 concurrent viewers, my best since Twitch was filtered in Iran. In September EyZedMoments reached 10,000 subscribers.

  35. Seven years of Twitch in one picture

    On August 24 I shared my Twitch stats from January 2017 to that day: 1,146 days live and 5,543 hours on air, watched for 1.6 million hours.

    Why it matters: 5,543 hours is more than 230 full days on air, on Twitch alone.

  38. Charity stream for Kahrizak

    On November 14 we held a charity stream for the Kahrizak care home, and it reached its goal in about an hour. I paid the full amount to Kahrizak through its website myself and posted the receipt.

    • 38 million toman for Kahrizak

  39. First guest of Gamer Show

    I was the guest of the first episode of Gamer Show on the Gem networks. It aired on Gem Pixel on December 4 and again that Friday on Gem TV and Gem Plus.

  40. My first in-person event

    On December 13 I held my first in-person event with Sequence Community at a café in Tehran: we talked about streaming and social media, did a Q&A, and a few surprise guests came. Tickets sold out in about three hours. Later I fell out with this team over a change in their views, but at the time they were newcomers who did their work well, and our collaboration turned out well.

    • About 60 guests

  41. Marrying Moones

    On December 21 Moones, whom most of you know as Moon, and I got married in a small ceremony with 18 people, just the way we wanted. We had been together since we met on August 25, 2021.

    • 505K views of the live broadcast

  46. Kick becomes home

    On September 3 I became a Kick Partner, and on October 17 I moved all my live streams to Kick. YouTube stayed for edited recaps and videos.

  47. A joint donathon with Sam Saberi

    From November 16 to December 21, Sam Saberi, Best Gamer and Best Donathon at The One Awards, and I ran a joint donathon on Kick from the MoZ Land studio: every donation to one of us took a quarter of that time off the other’s timer.

  50. Back live

    After the events of January 8 and 9 and then the war, I stayed off air, and months of internet shutdowns kept me away for more than 3,000 hours; I even packed up the studio. On May 28 I went live on Kick again.

  51. The Manganeh podcast
