After reaching a big donation goal, Twitch streamers usually have a way to reward their viewers. When Trevor “Mizkif” reached $5,000 in donations, he shaved his head and eyebrows—but that wasn’t the most surprising part.
After a donator pointed out Mizkif’s striking resemblance to Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp with his newly shaven head, Mizkif started to impersonate Tyler1.
Mizkif’s impersonation was a near-perfect imitation of the most reformed League of Legends player. Mizkif incorporated Tyler1’s typical voice cracks and tendency to shout at Macaiyla, his girlfriend, to stay out of view of the webcam.
The only thing missing in the impersonation is that Mizkif isn’t 6 foot 5 inches. Tyler1 has been trying to convince everyone for years he’s a foot taller than his actual height of 5 foot 6 inches—just another Tyler1ism. Quickly, the clip gained attention across the internet.
As the clip picked up traction, Tyler1 eventually came across it. Unlike the rest of the internet, Tyler1 wasn’t buying the impersonation. As he watched Mizkif’s clip on stream, he was adamant he didn’t “look, sound, or act” like Mizkif’s impression despite what everyone else has been saying. However, it’s safe to say everyone else called his bluff, including his own chat.

Whether or not Tyler1 admits Mizkif got the impersonation right, the resemblance after Mizkif shaved his head is striking. At least Mizkif has the option to become a Tyler1 impersonator if streaming doesn’t work out for him. He just needs to learn how to play Draven.
