Lannan Neville Eacott (better known online as LazarBeam [or simply Lazar]), is an Australian YouTuber mostly known for his Fortnite: Battle Royale videos. He is most famous for creating Fortnite 'memes,' and somewhat less known for his Reddit reaction videos and demonetization. He also often makes Minecraft content in addition to his current uploads. He is now reacting to things due to his boredom and has done 2 Competitions which are The Best Meme and The Best TikTok. He has a long history with being 'Demonetized' and YouTube taking his 'Ad Revenue' as YouTube has been sorely making Sweats Beat Memes as the Lazar Community (Memes) vs The YouTube Community (the sweats).
Lannan was also a member of the Australian YouTuber group Click, along with fellow YouTubers Prestige Clips, Mully, Muselk, Loserfruit, Tannar, Mrfreshasian, Bazza Gazza, and Crayator. The Click Channel posted real-life content instead of game-play related content. They recently moved into a Click Office to separate the House and recordings, lots of other people also record there (Mully, Fresh, Tannar etc.).
Lannan also has a second channel called "LazarLazar" where he posts, quote "stuff too scuffed to be on my main channel." He is also known to have had an intense hatred of Twitch Streamers when killed by one. He is known to scream, “GOD DAMMIT!" YEET!, and "STREAMER BTW!".
Eacott dropped out of high school at the age of 15 and started working in his family's construction business. He originally began posting videos of demolition in slow motion on YouTube, under the name "CrushSlash". After getting his recording equipment stolen, he registered the "LazarBeam" YouTube gaming channel on 4 January 2015; taking the name of one of his former RuneScape characters. Eacott focused on video game commentaries and challenge videos, primarily of the Madden NFL video game series. His channel experienced a substantial growth in popularity when he began playing Fortnite Battle Royale in 2018. On 18 September 2018, Eacott was announced as a member of the launch roster of the entertainment collective Click (also known as the Click Crew), alongside other Australian gaming personalities.
In April 2019, his channel reached 10 million subscribers, becoming the second Australian gaming content creator to hit that milestone. By July 2019, Eacott was the third-most-subscribed YouTube Fortnite streamer, with more than 10.8 million subscribers and over 7 billion video views. Eacott, along with some other streamers, was critical of the tenth season of Fortnite Battle Royale, which was released in August 2019 and introduced the "B.R.U.T.E"—a mechanical suit with missile launchers and a giant shotgun. The addition was described as "overpowered and unbalanced". Following this, Eacott's production of Minecraft-related videos began to increase, although he welcomed an update that restricted the abilities of the mechanical suit. After the release of the game's second chapter in October 2019, the focus of Eacott's videos further shifted away from Fortnite; he stated that he was disappointed with the update's lack of content.
In October 2019, it was announced that Eacott would appear as himself in the 2021 film Free Guy, alongside streamers Ninja and Jacksepticeye. In December, Eacott was acknowledged in YouTube's 2019 end-of-year summary, YouTube Rewind 2019: For the Record, as the eighth-most-viewed content creator of the year, with 2 billion views in 2019. Reporting on this, Business Insider described him as being known for his "comedic riffs" and use of memes. They also noted Eacott's video-editing style, which "uses zoom in and spliced graphics to highlight his reactions, with a camera focused directly on his face as he sits in front of a computer screen."
On 13 January 2020, it was announced that Eacott, along with fellow Australian YouTuber Elliott "Muselk" Watkins, had signed a deal with YouTube to stream exclusively on that platform; he had previously streamed on Twitch. Eacott and Watkins celebrated the announcement by undertaking in a 12-hour live stream to raise money for the ongoing Australian bushfire relief effort, and raised A$100,000. Similarly, early that month, Eacott, Watkins, and the other members of Click, did a 36-hour charity stream for the bushfire relief efforts and raised over A$300,000. Eacott has partnered with Rooster Teeth, and is represented by Click Management and WME.
In June 2020, during Fortnite's season-ending live event "The Device", Eacott's stream peaked at over 900,000 concurrent viewers. The following month, Click announced they would "stop filming [group] videos for the foreseeable future" with the members wanting to "spend time working on [their] own content". In December, Eacott was listed as the ninth top content creator of 2020 by YouTube, as well as the sixth-most-viewed gaming creator of the year and one of the top live streamers by views of 2020.
In March 2021, Eacott received his own Fortnite skin in the game as part of the Fortnite Icon Series.
