Nick Kolcheff (born November 21, 1990), better known as Nickmercs, is an American Twitch streamer, YouTuber and co-owner of FaZe Clan.
Career
Kolcheff has earned over $190,000 in Fortnite prizes.
In May 2019, Kolcheff had a falling out and split from 100 Thieves, citing failed promises and poor management. He joined FaZe Clan later that month.
Despite offers from rival streaming services, Kolcheff said he would stay with Twitch. Kolcheff has garnered upwards of 70,000 viewers on Twitch. He is estimated to have earned $6 million in 2019 and was the 10th highest earning gamer that year.
In May 2023, a skin based on Kolcheff was announced for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. The skin was removed from the game a month later due to a tweet he made in reaction to a fight that broke out in California as a result of schools trying to include lessons about the LGBT community in the curriculum, stating "They should leave little children alone. That's the real issue".
