While many continue to speculate the organisation the streamer will officially join, many guessed that he could join Nickmercs and Swagg at FaZe Clan while some guessed either 100 Thieves or NRG as possible contenders. Undoubtedly, TimTheTatman would be a major signing for any organisation given his popularity and the many exciting opportunities happening for the streamer.
Aside from his exclusive deal with YouTube Gaming, TimTheTatman was announced in July 2021 as an ambassador for the peripheral brand, HyperX, joining notable streamer Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter as part of their Influencer Program. In addition, he signed an exclusive deal with char maker, Herman Miller, as the brand’s first global ambassador in April this year.
