The Spanish Gamer Who Became Dead by Daylight's Most Trusted Guide and Built a Million-Strong Community Through Authentic, Educational Content
In the sprawling landscape of gaming content creators, few have managed to carve out as distinctive a niche as the Spanish streamer known simply as Otz. At 32 years old, this self-proclaimed "professional videogame idiot" has built a devoted following through his unique blend of expert gameplay, genuine personality, and an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the games he plays. What started as a hobby in 2011 has evolved into one of the most respected voices in several gaming communities, particularly around challenging titles that would make most players rage quit.
Otz's content spans multiple games, but he's perhaps best known for his mastery of FromSoftware titles like Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, as well as his extensive Dead by Daylight coverage. His approach isn't just about showcasing skill – though his gameplay is undeniably impressive – but about breaking down complex mechanics in ways that actually help other players improve. His YouTube channel features everything from detailed guides to entertaining montages, with his most popular video, "Best of PUBG Voice Chat," racking up over 18 million views by capturing the chaotic humor that emerges from online gaming.
The transition from YouTube to Twitch proved to be a game-changer for Otz, where his interactive streaming style really shines. With over 1.1 million followers on Twitch, he's become something of a Dead by Daylight guru, known for his incredibly detailed knowledge of every killer, survivor, and perk in the game. His streams feel more like hanging out with a knowledgeable friend than watching a performance, complete with his signature greeting "Hello friends, this is Otz" that has become instantly recognizable to his community.
What sets Otz apart from many content creators is his commitment to actually helping his audience improve. He's created an entire website dedicated to Dead by Daylight resources, featuring tier lists, beginner guides, and build recommendations that are regularly updated with each game patch. This isn't just surface-level content either – his guides dive deep into strategy, explaining not just what to do but why certain decisions work better than others. It's the kind of comprehensive resource that demonstrates genuine care for his community rather than just chasing views.
Perhaps most refreshingly, Otz maintains an authenticity that's increasingly rare in the content creation space. He's not afraid to show his failures alongside his successes, and his self-deprecating humor creates a welcoming atmosphere for viewers of all skill levels. His Spanish background adds an international perspective to his content, and his willingness to challenge himself with increasingly difficult gaming scenarios keeps longtime viewers engaged. In an industry often criticized for manufactured personalities, Otz has managed to build his brand on simply being himself – a genuinely skilled player who happens to be great at explaining why games work the way they do.
