Battle Royale
games tend to come with a certain level of difficulty. Major Twitch streamers face additional challenges live. This was noticed by two leading gaming streamers, who simply wanted to win a round of Fortnite.
Which streamers are we talking about? iShowSpeed and Kai Cenat are among the biggest streamers in the world. On Twitch, for example, Kai Cenat had the highest watch time in December 2024 (via twitchtracker.com). Both enjoy streaming alongside dangerous stunts as well as video games.
For a big collaboration event, they set out to win a match in Fortnite as a duo in OG-ranked mode. However, it turned out to be more challenging than one might think. They are simply too popular.
Someone always finds them
What’s the problem? Their event was, of course, streamed on their respective YouTube and Twitch channels. Viewers were able to watch all matches in a stream lasting over 20 hours.
The problem that all major streamers know: stream snipers. Many viewers try to get into a match with the two streamers – and through the livestream, they can easily find out where the streamers are located.
According to Dexerto, the two attracted over 200,000 viewers together. With these numbers, one can assume that there was hardly a match where no one tried to specifically hunt them down.
Did they manage it anyway? Once they won with the help of a stream sniper after 79 lost matches, but Kai Cenat didn’t want that to count. After a brief discussion, the two started playing again (via x.com).
According to their own rules, they haven’t won yet; they want a fair victory without help. In another clip on x.com, you can see how the two lose a 2-on-1 at the end of a round. According to the counter in the clip, they had already lost 160 times by that point.
They are currently at 172 lost matches (as of December 30, 2024, 11:30 AM via Twitch).
How likely is a victory? Theoretically, anything is possible, but due to their imposed rules and the constant danger from stream snipers, it seems to be a pretty challenging endeavor. Kai Cenat himself is quite persistent. This was also evident in his Elden Ring streams: Twitch streamer Kai Cenat finishes Elden Ring like many before him – but turns it into the gaming event of the year
