MachineIs a game streamer and tournament caster active on the Douyu streaming platform.
Introduction
Machine, born in 1996, lived in Shijiazhuang in his early yearsSome viewers pointed out that he was born in Xinxiang, Henan. A CS:GO streamer and tournament caster on the Douyu platform, who obtained title sponsorship from the Ephorse eSports Club. Room number 6657.6657 can also refer to him personally.。
While studying in Canada, Machine became very fond of CS:GO and considered the North American professional player Shroud his idol, setting his game ID to "C9's shroud himself." Later, the official CS:GO Weibo referred to Shroud as the "North American Machine," solidifying Machine's identity.
At the same time, the memes "North America's No. 1 Entry Fragger" and "North America's No. 1 Weak Link" both originated from him.
After returning from his studies in Canada, Machine became a streamer and game commentator.His true identity is the Godfather of ACG.。
Because he enjoys using idioms during his commentary, he was given the title "Master of Idioms."Of course, there are also misuses of idioms such as "three people make a tiger" and "smart for a lifetime.", which triggered a trend among viewers to form bullet chats using "6657 + a four-character phrase," such as "6657 stream one rest seven."
Because Machine often engages in performance art, there is a saying: "The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches,Idiotsplay with Machine," but this is actually an affectionate nickname from fans rather than an insult.
In addition to commentating on matches, he also frequently watches the Overwatch system in CS:GO, which is a system where experienced players judge whether other reported players have violated community rules or engaged in anti-social behavior through a segment of recorded footage provided by the system. Since this rule gives players the image of a "judge" upholding justice, Machine, who frequently "executes justice," also earned the title "Lord Wan."
As a streamer who has studied both CS:GO and Dota 2, Machine was invited to a ceremony hosted by Perfect World. At the ceremony, he was awarded two honors: "Most Popular Commentator of the Year" and "Players' Favorite CS:GO Streamer" (2018). His performance as Windranger in a DOTA 2 showmatch also led the live commentators to exclaim that he was "Shijiazhuang's No. 1 Windranger." Additionally, in the Perfect World City Elite Challenge held previously (2017), Machine's team, EphorseA horseteam also won the championship.It is worth mentioning that after winning the title of Most Popular Commentator of the Year, Machine took a 4-month break due to health reasons.
When commentating on matches, he has many
On February 13, 2019, Machine posted a retirement declaration on his personal Weibo due to psychological issues (see Works), receiving encouragement and comfort from viewers, peers, and even numerous esports clubs, finally officially resuming streaming around June 2019.

After Machine climbed the mountain, due to the toxic bullet chat environment, he enabled a level 21 restriction for fan badge holders to speak.But it was to no avail; the bullet chat was full of "wooden cabinets" (i.e., Bandori) and 6657 stale memes desuwa.
About Yaorenmao
One day, a viewer discovered that Machine's favorites on his Bilibili account included videos of the Bilibili dance section uploader Yaorenmao, which immediately caused the bullet chat in room 6657 to tease him about it.
Later, things became more serious, with many viewers even commenting 6657-related content under Yaorenmao's videos and Weibo posts; even the style of Baidu search recommendations became weirder.Please increase the intensity
During a stream on September 14, Machine responded that he does not watch Yaorenmao's videos, hoping that everyone would not over-meme and affect him or Yaorenmao.However, videos of "Machine vs. Yaorenmao" can be found on Bilibili.Watching Yaorenmao is just for fun; if you want to live a life together, it has to be Ayu.
Also on September 14, Machine used the software Facerig (a face-tracking software) during his stream to change his camera image to an anime girl. Thus, everyone joked that this was a Vtuber named Jijizi. Later, in his stream on the 17th, he said that Jijizi would rarely appear recently.
Regarding his profile picture, in the stream room it isFate seriesinIllya, and in-game it isSteins;GateinKurisu Makise。

"Retirement Declaration"
Wishing to cross the Yellow River, ice chokes the stream; about to climb the Taihang Mountains, snow fills the peaks.
Idly I fish by the green stream; suddenly I dream of sailing past the sun.
Sorry for making everyone wait so long. Due to some reasons (mainly psychological), starting from today, I must say goodbye to the identity of "Machine" for a while.
I've disappointed many people, and I'm also very disappointed in myself, but unfortunately, my current condition makes it impossible to work normally. Even posting a Weibo or replying to a message takes all my effort.
Not replying to many messages is indeed a failure on my part as an adult and a streamer, but please believe it's not because I'm impolite or don't want to reply, but out of an endless sense of fear.
I hope the next time we meet, I can still share the joy that CS brings us with everyone. By the way, Happy New Year to everyone.
Since then, "Wishing to cross the Yellow River, ice chokes the stream; about to climb the Taihang Mountains, snow fills the peaks" has become a meme, referring to flaking. Similarly, there are memes like "#Checking the ice flood level of the Yellow River" and "#Checking the snow depth of the Taihang Mountains."
