“Now first take your penis in your hand, because then everything is fine,” said the first major shooter YouTuber to greet viewers in his videos. We are talking about Carsten “ELoTRiX” (30). He was hyper and loud in his YouTube videos back then. Nowadays, hardly anyone talks about the 30-year-old who was once famous.
Who is ELoTRiX?
- The name ELoTRiX means friendship for the content creator, as it originated with his former best friend, who took his life at some point. He loved the name above all. Another “homie” of his is the well-known German streamer MontanaBlack, and they have known each other since the beginning of their careers.
- On February 18, 2011, ELoTRiX founded his first YouTube channel “ELoTRiX Playz” and showcased commented shooter gameplay there. However, he had to delete the first videos due to copyright violations.
- In the following years, he created 4 more YouTube channels that showcased shooter gameplay, stream highlights, clips, and other gameplay.
- He is currently only actively running the channels that represent his stream highlights and other gameplay. On his main account “ELoTRiX,” he promised a comeback 7 months ago, but he hasn’t uploaded any new videos there since.

What is ELoTRiX doing today? Is he still known?
In fact, ELoTRiX is still quite successful on Twitch. He is among the “Top 20” channels in Germany and currently entertains an average of over 6,300 viewers with his streams (as of March 9, 12:57 PM). He also has 1.4 million followers and over 11,400 subscribers there.
Although these are not his all-time highs, which averaged 18,141 subscribers and 10,246 viewers, the numbers are still impressive.
While 3 of his 5 YouTube channels are inactive, he streams relatively regularly on Twitch: In the last 30 days, he went live 18 times.
You can gain insight into his streams and typical reactions in this Twitch clip:
What has changed? Back then, he regularly played shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops 3, or Battlefield 3. However, he now plays not only shooters but also games like the currently popular Elden Ring or Dying Light 2.
Nowadays, he is no longer considered just the shooter YouTuber, but rather a variety streamer. Although he no longer greets his viewers with penis jokes, he has remained true to himself: sometimes loud, aggressive, and funny, and sometimes highly concentrated, whether in reactions or in-game.
