Arco Dielhof (Mar 21, 1991), better known as 'Tex', is a Dutch streamer, programmer and gaming community leader. Starting his current career as an AddOn programmer for World of Warcraft in May 2019, his first AddOn kicked off pretty quickly with almost 50.000 downloads in under three weeks. Although disliked by some others within the AddOn community for his different views and strong opinions, Tex got quickly asked by CurseForge and Overwolf for a more active role within the AddOn community. A few weeks later, he became an Alpha and Beta tester for CurseForge and accepted a position at Overwolf as a Discord Moderator (volunteer). Just a few months later, Tex was seen streaming with a CurseForge t-shirt which he was gifted for both his hard work and dedication to the AddOn community and CurseForge.

Streaming
Tex started streaming on Twitch, in March, 2018. After just a month, he made the requirements to apply for Affiliate. He has been streaming two the three days a week since then. After becoming more active within the AddOn community, Tex also started programing streams mainly for his World of Warcraft AddOns. These streams quickly became even more popular then his gaming streams. People with as well as without programming experience go to his streams to learn or help with thinking of solutions for some of the problems.

Gaming Community
In August 2018, Tex started a gaming community called Azerothian Puggers (Abr. AzerPUG / AZP). AzerPUG was meant as a small group of people playing together with a common goal. However, AzerPUG quickly grew out to a big gaming community with multiple teams that were playing multiple games. Within the first year. In July 2020, Tex decided that AzerPUG would start being more helpful towards newer players in World of Warcraft, and started organizing teaching sessions. During these teaching sessions, AzerPUG would take along players that normally do not manage to find a group, due to lack of experience. A lot of new players, as well as veterans to the game, have outspoken their respect and gratitude to both AzerPUG and Tex himself. Amazing references can be found on the official World of Warcraft forums, on the recruitment post for AzerPUG. https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/a-azerpug-gaming-community-raiding-teaching-raids-m-and-more/164454

AddOns
Since Tex created his first AddOn, many more has popped up under the name of his gaming community, AzerPUG. Most of his AddOns have thousands of downloads, with a few nearing the 100.000. Some AddOns fill are generally useful, where others fulfill a very niche role. Although he still refers to himself as a beginner, several pro players have started using his AddOns because they are so good and well thought-through. Tex is very open about his AddOns and streams several days a week, showing what he is working on and taking questions, suggestions and concerns and talks them over publicly.
