Career

Sapnap uploaded his first YouTube video on October 20, 2019. He became known for his collaborations with fellow Minecraft personalities Dream and GeorgeNotFound, known collectively as the "Dream Team" since 2019.[4][5] His videos with the group often featured Minecraft speedrunning challenges.[4][5] He began streaming on Twitch, and in early 2020 he was the fourth person to join the roleplay-based Dream SMP Minecraft server, after Dream, GeorgeNotFound, and Callahan.[4][6]

Sapnap has often participated in MC Championship events and consistently ranked as one of the tournament's strongest players.[4][7] He has also competed in Squid Craft Games, an event organized by Spanish-speaking Minecraft creators, and won the second edition in March 2023.[8] He is known especially for his player versus player (PvP) skills.[4] In addition to Minecraft, his livestreams have included games such as Valorant, Fortnite and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.[4] He has taken part in Twitch chess tournaments such as PogChamps.[9][10] He has appeared in several YouTube videos by MrBeast, including one in which he won a ten-person game of tag.[4][11]

Sapnap started hosting the Banter podcast with YouTuber Karl Jacobs in September 2021.[4] Upon the release of the first episode, which featured MrBeast, the show briefly overtook The Joe Rogan Experience as Spotify's top podcast.[4][12] GeorgeNotFound joined as co-host in August 2022.[4]

In October 2022, Sapnap signed with and became a co-owner of NRG Esports.[13][14] He announced that he would begin livestreaming on the site Kick in August 2023.[6]

On February 4, 2025, it was announced that Sapnap would partake in an influencer boxing match for charity on the Creator Clash 3 undercard.[15] His opponent was revealed to be fellow former Dream SMP member Tubbo, taking place at the middleweight weight class.[16] The event was set to take place on June 28 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. However, on May 29, the event was postponed to October 25 and was moved to the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California.[17] On July 8, Creator Clash 3 was officially cancelled.[18]
