Did Asmongold quit streaming? Twitch and Kick streamer says "things are uncertain" as he updates fans on his father's health 

Zack "Asmongold" Hoyt is reportedly contemplating a departure from streaming.

The Twitch and Kick streamer announced that he would be taking an indefinite break from streaming, citing his father's ailing health and other "life circumstances." He said that he felt "f---ing fried" as a result of burnout and his father's cancer diagnosis.

He has since issued an update on X, about his father's health and his streaming schedule:

"As a lot of you guys know, my dad's been going through a lot of medical turmoil in the last few months. Originally, he went to the hospital for pneumonia then upon leaving had a test that showed acute liver failure that turned out to be pancreatic cancer. Not a good day," the post begins.

He then confirmed that, due to his father's sickness, his streaming schedule hangs in the balance:

"Because of the severity, this will require my full attention until it is resolved one way or another, which means streams will be on hiatus until that time comes. Rest assured, there's nothing I'd rather do more than go live and continue on like I always do but my obligation to my father must take priority. I don't have a timeframe or an expectation because of how uncertain things are right now, but I'll update you all when I know more myself. I know a lot of you guys have already reached out and just know that both I and my dad appreciate the kind words, thank you."

In his post on X, Asmongold said that his father underwent chemotherapy at the behest of his oncologist. The first week was "fine," but during the second treatment, his father was left with "so much difficulty breathing that he didn't sleep more than an hour at a time."

"It was so severe I ended up sleeping on the floor next to his bed that night in case something went even more wrong."

The following day, he took his father to the doctor once again, only to end up visiting the hospital because his blood pressure was "some insanely low number." This was five days ago, and there has been no improvement yet.

"There have been marginal improvements but in a general sense, things are not looking great, although I remain hopeful regardless," Asmongold lamented.

In his earlier statement last month, Asmongold said that he was trying to maintain a streaming schedule, though it was difficult for him:

"I do my best to live every day and, you know, be as consistent as I can be, but man, is it getting really hard for me to do." He continued, "If I do take a break, it's probably gonna be for a long time... honestly, probably months."

As of this writing, it is unclear if he has any plans to stream anytime soon.
