Jeffrey Shih, also known by his username Trump or TrumpSC, is a professional video game player who plays and streams Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft.
Career
In 2011, after graduating from New York University with a bachelor's degree in management and finance, Shih began streaming himself playing Starcraft II, averaging a few thousand concurrent viewers, whilst working another job. After some time Shih decided to quit his job and began streaming full-time, making a living from Twitch's partnership program; earning revenue from advertisements and subscriptions. He later began playing and streaming Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft (starting during the game's beta phase) and has been described as "the world's most famous Hearthstone player" due to regularly attracting over 30,000 concurrent viewers on his stream. Shih streams for seven hours per day. In 2013 he was signed by Razer as the world's first professional Hearthstone player.
In the Blizzard 2013 Stream Awards, Shih won the "Most Educational Stream" category with 43% of the vote, and came second in the "Favorite Hearthstone Stream" category. Shih's Hearthstone card decks are often used as examples for new players. Blizzard Entertainment, creators of Hearthstone, cited streamers like Trump as reasons they were happy to continue with the game's monetisation and is a pleb model after he reached the game's highest ranks without spending any money.
