In late 2021, Myth announced that he had decided not to renew his contract with Team SoloMid due to the loss of a "family feel" after his friends Leena and Bjergsen left the team. He also said that he felt like Team SoloMid hadn't been utilizing him properly, stating, "I want to be a part of bigger ideas, and I want to be a part of their content and what they're making and I want to try to put myself in uncomfortable positions." In July 2022, Myth signed an exclusive contract with YouTube. Later that year, he participated in the Mogul Chessboxing Championship in Los Angeles, defeating fellow YouTube personality Cherdleys in the sixth round via checkmate. In April 2023, Myth competed in Creator Clash 2 In Tampa, Florida, and defeated YouTuber Hundar in the first round via technical knockout.
Personal Life
A 2022 "Inverse" interview described Myth as "the most upbeat streamer around." In the interview, he said of his content, "It's more about having a good time, along with trying to be a good gamer or putting up high scores. Just being somebody that they could come to if they're having a hard day or a rough time." Myth also spoke about the COVID-19 pandemic, stating, "Covid was the wake-up call of like, 'Hey, you need to figure out how to live with yourself.' So I picked up a lot of things during that time." He added, "I had to figure out what makes me happy and go through a process of trying out new things after I click that offline button after I stop streaming. And I found all these really great things like reading, rock climbing, and hiking. All those things have added great value to my life, and it's in part because of spending that time looking at myself."
