Mark Zimmermann (born 11 May 1998), also known as ohnePixel, is a German Twitch streamer and YouTuber.[1] He is known for his knowledge on skins and trading in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2.[2][3][4][5] He is the second largest Counter-Strike streamer worldwide, only below Gaules.[6]

Early life

Mark Zimmermann[7][8] was born on 11 May 1998.[9] He grew up in Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, Germany.[10]

Career

ohnePixel began streaming in 2021.[11] After the release of Counter-Strike 2, ohnePixel began streaming the game regularly and pointing out bugs.[12][13] In July 2023, he received a donation of CS:GO items worth $129,000.[14] Consisting of in-game cases, his subsequent opening of them was the largest in the game's history,[15][16] but it was a bust.[17] In 2024, ohnePixel, along with YouTuber zipel, opened a skin marketplace, but it crashed almost immediately due to high demand.[6] He later bought the website Skinbid with ULTI Agency.[2] ohnePixel also signed a team, which he coached, to qualify for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024.[18][19][20][21][22] The team, DRILLAS, was able to make it to the APAC RMR after winning the Middle Eastern qualifiers,[23][24][25] but was eliminated there. The team was criticized for using a player substitution to attend the APAC RMR with only two out of five players actually from the region, something that was seen by the game's APAC community as "an attempt to steal one of the APAC slots back to Europe".[26]

Personal life

ohnePixel currently lives in the Netherlands.[10] In addition to being a collector of rare in-game items from the Counter-Strike series, ohnePixel is also an avid collector of rare cards and memorabilia from the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! franchises.[27]
