Early Life and Background

Case Dylan Baker, known online as CaseOh, was born on May 9, 1998, in Dallas County, Arkansas, and raised in the small town of Clarendon, Arkansas. Growing up in a Christian household alongside two brothers, Case developed a strong sense of family and community. His childhood was marked by a passion for video games, particularly titles like NBA 2K and Call of Duty, which he began playing at age 14. He also had an interest in basketball and music, learning to play the drums and performing at his local church. Before his streaming career, Case worked various jobs, including as a maintenance worker with his father’s landscaping business, and faced financial struggles, such as having his card declined at a dollar store. These humble beginnings shaped his relatable and grounded personality, which would later resonate with millions of fans.

Rise to Fame

CaseOh’s journey into content creation began in September 2022 when he started posting NBA 2K gameplay videos on TikTok under the handle @caseohgames. Encouraged by his mother to pursue streaming after recalling he owned streaming equipment, Case began broadcasting on Twitch as "caseoh_" just days after his first TikTok post. His early content, which included horror games like Five Nights at Freddy’s, Granny, and Baldi’s Basics, quickly gained traction due to his humorous reactions and engaging personality. Clips from his Twitch streams went viral on TikTok, amassing millions of views and propelling his audience growth.

Streaming Career and Content Style

CaseOh is a variety streamer, known for playing a diverse range of games, including Roblox, Contraband Police, 60 Seconds! Reatomized, Scrutinized, and Hogwarts Legacy. His streams are characterized by a simple setup—often featuring him in a signature hoodie against a dimly lit background—and a comedic, self-deprecating style that endears him to fans. He frequently interacts with his audience, letting viewers choose games and reacting to memes, hate comments, or viral clips about himself. His community is known for playful nicknames related to his weight and love for food, particularly Waffle House, which has become a running gag. CaseOh also shares personal touches, such as showcasing his pets—three cats (including Jinx and Kitt-ee) and two dogs—and his love for 1940s and 1950s music. His Southern accent and humorous mispronunciations, like “worsh” for “wash,” add to his charm. In August 2024, he joined Mythic Talent, a agency founded by streamer Asmongold, further solidifying his status in the streaming world.
